EDS. SUNDAY UNION: Baptists have not
altogether forgotten the hardships which
they in an early day endured in conse-
quence of an established religion, or
quite renounced their first principles de-
claring for religious freedom, and total
separation of church and State. In the
Canadian Baptist of November 13, 1890,
occurs the following editorial note: "The
Presbyterian Synod for New York re-
Gently sent a deputation to the New York
State Baptist Pastors Conference, which
met in connection with the State Conven-
ton in Lockport, asking their aid in an
effort to rescue the compulsory teaching
of the essential doctrines of the Christian
religion and morals in the public schools.
The Pastors Conference, by rising vote,
adopted report declining to accede to
the request, and declaring that the State
should have nothing to do with the teach
ing Of religious doctrines. A Baptist Con-
ference could have made no other reply"
If church and State are to be kept separ-
ated in this country, and religious free
dom is to be enjoyed as the founders of
our Government intended it should be,
no other reply should be made to such
requests. The Baptists are evidently on
the right side of this question. 1t is to be
wondered, however, if those who favor
compulsory religious instruction in the
public schools will NOW class the Bap-
fists, as they have others who oppose the
theory, with infidels, foreigners, saloon
keepers and thugs, and say they are enc
mics to God, the Government, good re-
ligion and humanity. w. M. HEALEY.

One Pound of Ten.

A man who argues that one pound of
tea makes 400 small or 800 ordinary cups
states his case as follows: Tea testers
ordinarily use silver five-cent piece for
weighing the exact quantity required for
a cup. LAS there are about twenty-five
five-cent pieces to an ounce, and as there
are sixteen ounces to pound, it follows
that one pound of tea will actually make
400 cups, according to the standard of
strength ordinarily required by profess
sional testers. The cups used for this
purpose contain, however, one-fourth less
than the average domestic teacups. 1t
will, therefore, be seen that after making
due allowance for the difference in the
size of the cups the number will be very
close to 300.
