Chamber Of Deputies of the clause OF

Russia there il liberty Of conscience"
though dissenters are hunted down by
the bloodhounds Of persecution and
Hebrews are butchered, because they
do not belong to the orthodox circle.
It is the free exercise Of religious faith
that must be guaranteed by law, and
the state must, further, be relieved Of
the responsibility OF determining what
religious faith and practice is a politi-
al, or moral menace, leaving that en-
tirely 10 the church, or the individual

Conscience means the perfect separa-

milton OF the perfect independence Of
each within It's own sphere, Is It true

church to set the machinery Of the
state IN operation against her, In order
to satisfy spite, or further their self

The program now discussed Is, to
make the church dependent entirely on

II perfect freedom in the choice of
ecclesiastical officers and the manage

retain the church buildings erected
since the time OF Napoleon but the old
err structures are TO be considered the
property Of the nation, though they
can be used by the church FOR a low an

A NEW MAGAZINE.

The first number OF the Church For
UNI, published at Harrisburg, Pa, has
made ITS appearance 1t Is magazine
devoted to Temperance, clean politics,
simple life, arbitration, evangelical
Christianity and the purity Of the
home. This is a comprehensive pro-
gram. and one to which every loyal cit
izen should be committed.
The Church Forum differs somewhat
from other periodicals devoted to the
same cause. It does not propose to
emphasize the points Of difference that
separate denominations from one an
other, but the points Of agreement upon
which unity can be established To
gain this end, It gives different de-
partments 10 the interests Of different
sects each department edited by some
one devoted 10 the church represented
by that special department. The maya
zine hopes, in this way, to find "a CONF
mon level on which Jew and GENTLE
Catholic and Protestant, Calvlnist and
Armenian, Churohman and Dissenter
can stand and pull together for the
ethical and spiritual uplitt Of a world
long sodden in sim"
This, certainly, Is a worthy aim. But
It should be remembered that it can
never be reached except In the dyinely
appointed order. The Lord has already
built the platform upon which Jew and
Gentle, Catholic and Protestant, AMI
all other children Of the divine Father
can stand, II they are willing to do so,
and pull together" 1t was the de-
scent from that divine platform which
caused the confusion now dlsgraciug
the religious world, and not TN men
again are willing to ascend TO that
level, will there be unity, and perfect
development. God gave some apostles;
and some, prophets and some evange-
lists; and some, pastors and teachers;
FOR the perfecting OF the Saints, for ths
work OF the ministry, for the edifylus
Of the body OF Christ; TIL We all come In
the unity OF the faith, and Of the knowl-
edge Of the Son Of God"
This Is the divine plan for the union
OF the children Of God, Another can.
not be formed with success, Let all
who earnestly desire to see the scat
tered children OF the eternal Father
united, submit humby TO the arrange
ment made by the Captain OF our sal
yatlon and unity and kuoVlpdga win

no schIsms, These are the fruit of a
carnal disposition, and not Of the divine
Spirit that abldes with an who are true

Washington. May 31.-Because Rev. John Gordon, President of Howard Uni versity and white man. has raised the race question at the negro college by declining to associate on a social equal fly plane with the student body and faculty and has sought to emphasize the importance of manual training, a committee of alumni. backed by the er' tire undergraduate body today prefer red charges against him and petitione the board of trustees for his immediate removal. It is declared by the peti- tions comprising fifty prominent ne- groes of Washington that President Gordon is incompetent; that he has dis- criminated against and sighted his ne- gro associates and that his administra- tion has not been success financially.
 pr. Sinclair, an alnmnus of the Uni versity, travelling financial agent, pre- sented the petition to the board. The petition was taken under consideration by the board but no decision Is expect ed before the end of the present school year.
 The formal charges were pressed by former Representative White of North Carolina, and argued at length before the special meeting of the trustees, fol- lowing what has almost been open re- volt on the part of the student body during the past few days.
