The supreme court Of Massachusetts

The supreme court OF Massachusetts
has Just decided that "Theosopby hs
no standing as religion in that State. "
Why, certainly not, and, in view OF tire
circumstauces,it is wonderful that more
than one religion should have any
standing there, and that, the one
professed by a majority of the people
thereof All familiar with the history
of Massachusetts know that professors
of religions differing from that of the
Puritans have been scourged and driven
out of that State naked into the wilder
7css. OF course there can be only one
rue religion, but, us under the Constr
tuition there can be no religious dis
crimination. and as all other religions
are allowed standing" why Theo-
sophism shouldn't be, is hard to tell ex-
cept in a State from which Roger Will
liams was expelled for preaching lib
erty of conscience.

crate negroes in the provinces of San

If it be to such gang that the United

against a friendly nation that had
yielded to the point of establishment;

has failed signally in France several
times before, and the length of it's pres

any should desire to stay in it, and, it

that none do. whose pay is not more
than thoy are able to make in civil life.
