Tabernacle Meetings.

The Seven Day Adventists are contin-
uing to hold services each night in the
tent in the north part Of town. Last
Sunday night the subject was that of
Religious Liberty" One of the most
dangerous evils threatening our times
is the growing demand for religious
Legislation. This demand is being urg-
ed more and more, and in some instances
governments are beginning to yield to
it. Many are led to believe that the
remedy for the wide spread irreligion
lies through human legislation. Few
seem to realize that the use of force in
religion is inconsistent with the gospel
OF Christ, and that in the end religious
legislation means religious persecution.
There needs to be a better and more
general understanding Of the great
principles underlying human rights and
liberties. Principles which, it univer-
sally understood and adhered to, would
insure peace on earth and good will
among men, ought not to be ignored nor
forgotten. Neither Christ nor his
apostles ever once appealed to the state
to enforce their teachings. When any
religion becomes religion of civil law
it ceases to be a religion of love. True
religious reforms are accomplished "Not
by might nor by power, but by my
spirit, saith the Lord.-Zach. 4:6. The
early church derived her marvellous
power, not from politics, but from pen
tecost. She made her way in the world
and gained her greatest victories in the
face of opposition and adverse laws.
So it is with christians today. More
God given power will attend our work
if we but "Render unto Caesar the
things that belong unto Caesar, and
unto God the things that belong unto
God" Subjects for the next seven

MORTUARY.
Mrs. Walter Johnson

Mrs. Emily Johnson, wife of Walter
johnson, was born in Ohio, March II,
1910, and died at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. E. E. Somes, at Chicago
Heights, Illinois, August 2, 1906, aged 66
years, months and Is days.
When she was quite small her parents
moved from Ohio to Michigan, where
she grew to womanhood and on Jan. 20,
1861, was united in marriage to Walter
johnson. -Four children were born to
them, Anna and Thomas having pre-
ceeded her to the great beyond, and
Mrs. Jennie Somes, of Chicago Heights,
Illinois, and Mrs. Lenora v. Gaines, of
Edmond, Oklahoma, with the aged hus-
band, are left to mourn the loss of
devoted and loving wife and mother.
She is also survived by an older sister,
Mrs. Jennie Leach, of Vandalia, Mich,
the last survivor of large family, who
was with her when the end came. With
her family the deceased came to Leon
in 1870 and had resided here ever since
until few weeks ago when she was
taken to the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Somes, for medical treatment.
Mrs. johnson had been ailing since
last February, and her disease baffled
the skill of the physicians. Her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Somes, came here in May to
care for her, and the latter part of June
took her to her home in Chicago, think
ing she would be benefited, but the
doctors there gave her no relief, and on
Thursday, Aug. 2, she passed peacefully
to rest. She realized for many weeks
that she could not get we'll, and told
her children she was not afraid to die,
that it was like going from one room to
another to reap what she had sown.
The many friends of the family in this
city will be panied to hear of her death.
Funeral services were held from the
residence of her daughter, Mrs. Somes,
at Chicago Heights, on Sunday after
noon, August 9Th, interment being in
the Chicago Heights cemetery.
