RELIGIOUS QUESTION IS A WARM ONE IN PERU

ers the scriptures printed in their own
language. They had hard row to hoe
when they opened up for business in Peru
This Is a Catholic stronghold, and the
situation Is quite different from that in
the United States. We have religious free
dom, but here there is an agreement be-
tween the church and state that the lat
ter shall embrace the Catholic religion
and protect it to the extent Of prohibiting
the public exercise of any other form Of
worship. This agreement constitutes the
fourth article of the Peruvian constitution.
OF course, all Americans, Catholics and
Protestants alike, believe in religious lib
erty, because they have been brought up
in it, and it is only natural that the Cath
olics here. who have always had a mono
poly, should resent the intrusion Of their
field, and the trespass upon their legal
rights.
When the book agents first came here
they encountered some exciting times.
Some of them were put in Jail. and others
had their literature taken away from
them and burned There was not great
deal Of serious interference however, for
the reason that the influence of the free
thinking Catholic element in America
was brought to bear on the situation, and
the scripture peddling missionaries were
soon let out Of Jail. They went right on
selling their Bibles. Last year they dis

proverbs are printed separately in twelve

different languages and in six different

different languages and in six different
dialects.
The agents explain the teachings Of the
great book and arouse interest in 1t just
as other book agents do, but they have
to be careful not to hold open services.
The government winks at their violation
Of the constitution, and as long as they
do not put steeples on their missions or
ring bells for services they are not mo-
Tested in their work. They conduct their
meetings just as party is given In po-

The president of Peru is liberal man
and is really friendly with the Protestant
missionaries. Only this month he ac-
Cepted as a present a large Bible from the
representative of the society, and on the
day that this was written the local paper
contained notice about his having had
his photograph taken with group of
missionaries.
The Protestants are gaining ground in
the face Of the law. The men in power
here, altho Catholic born lean toward
liberal thinking, and are tolerant with the
missionaries of what is to them hostile
faith. It is true that there have been
many obstacles placed in the path Of the
foreign missionaries, and that their course
Is not yet plain sailing, but they are tress-
passers according to the law Of the land.
For centuries the state has been pledged
to uphold the Roman Catholic church and
to destroy all opposition to it. Teachers
Of other creeds cannot expect to come in
this field with a chip on their shoulders
and meet with a cordial reception.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1904-02-27

All this is said to show that the bar
riers put up against missionaries are not
unnatural ones. We believe in religious
liberty, and these people have been
brought up on another diet. We must
not be impatient with them because they
do not come over to our way Of think
ing in day. They are really giving us
a pretty fair show, considering this life
long belief in different standard. They
are now showing tolerance, and they will
eventually throw down the bars altogether.
liberty will be an established fact In Peru.
Things are moving to that end, and 1t will
not be bad thing for the country, even
from Catholic point Of view. It will
broaden everybody and tone things up in
nize this. but do not wish to be prec1pi-
tate In bringing about the change.
If foreigners come into the country to
open up it's resources they will bring with
them their religion, whatever it may be,
and they will want to practice It, It will
be fair, according to modern ways of
thinking, to allow them liberty In this
matter. The Peruvians will see the JUS
tice of this argument.
1t is a blessed privilege for every fellow
to have the right to do as he jolly pleases,
and Peru and the rest Of the South Amer
lean countries will come out Of the woods
on this religious question in due time. If
the Protestant evangelists go along slow
| ly, as they are doing, they will move sure
| ly on to their end. But if they abuse the
inch they have been given by trying to
| take a yard, they will stir up a nasty
| muddle.

canoes? 1t was at Kilauea, that a
Christian native princess first dared to
defy the goddess, refuse the accus-
toned offering and proclaim Jehovah
and not Pele as the god over all. When
we consider how strong the belief in
and fear of Pele was among these
superstitious people, we may realize
and appreciate what a sublime and
courageous act was this defiance of
Pele and acknowledgment Of Jehovah
on the verge Of the pit, called "the
house of everlasting fire." While the
Kanaka called the force or power that
rules the volcano Pele, the natives on
Martinique called the volcano itself
