1t Is trite saying that revolutions never
90 backward" and this declaration may be
true; but IL ls equally true that they sometimes
60 forward In way that is not beneficial to
mankind. We fear that the revolutionists
OF Spain by their course arc illustrating this
latter truth.
We see II stated that fifteen thousand Ia
dies In that country have pctitioned General
serrano to protect the Catholic religion and
its Institutions. The petitioners say:
eve see the ministers Of our holy religion
going out OF Spain pcrsecuted as criminals.
We hear the sad voice Of the virgins Of God
thrust out Of their holy aisles OF picty and
purity. Fallen with outcry and noise are
the temples Of Jesus Christ; the enemies Of
the faith offend our cars by crying that with
the stones Of their ruins they will build al
tsrs to false gods. The streets and squares
overflow with impiety, blasphemy and doubt,
religion ls lnsulted."
It Is probable there Is some exaggcration
In these statements, and some may attempt
to excuse the conduct Of the reyolutionlsts
upon the ground Of the former intolerance
Of the Church, particularly the cruelties Of
the Spanish inquisition; but two wrongs mover
made right.
Its not our province to discuss religious be
llefs. We contend only for toleratIon. Every
person must be left free to choose his owr
religion, and to act In accordance with hi
own conviction Of truth and duty as |
appears to him, unmolested by his neigh
Dor In the enjoyment of these lndefeasibl
rights.
No people ever yet achieved civil and re
ligious liberty, and maintained It for an,
length Of time, that did not respect the right
Of others. This is the lesson Of history. W
are sorry therefore to see the revolution
lists Of Spain losing sight Of this great truth
Toleration Of the religious opinions Of other
is the only protection to our own. Let thos
who struggle for the triumph Of democrati
aud republican institutions remember this.
