BIBLE SELLING NO
CRIME IN PORTUGAL

LISBON, February 15.-From the midst
Of the anarchy that embroils the land
comes a decision of interest to the whole
church world, the high court of Lisbon
having settled for a generation at least
the vexed question Of religious liberty in
Portugal There may not be the much
desired freedom Of action In other direc-
lions, but for the present the sale OF the
Bible may not be prohibited on the
streets. A local judge found man guilty
at Elvas of selling books Of the evangeli-
cal Protestant religion called Bibles and
he was fined, but the higher tribunal has
QuaShed this decision.
The ecclesiastical position Is rather Pc
culiar, inasmuch as the penal code Is out
of harmony with the constitutional char
ter granted in 1926. BY this charter, NO
one can be prosecuted on account OF his
religion and does not offend public NOR
ais" This would seem to afford ample
protection to those who claim religious
freedom. But the penal code goes much
further. heavy penalties being prescribed
against those who injure the state re-
ligion or propagate doctrines opposed to
the church of Rome. or endeavor to make
converts to the doctrines which are re-
proved by that church, or celebrate public
worship OF any sort different from that
OF the Roman church.
The organ Of the Portuguese Church
Aid Society summarizes the Judgment
thus: The Bible called Protestant con-
tains no word or passage which is not &C
tually found in the Catholic Bible. and
therefore the Protestant Bible could not
have doctrine opposed to the Catholic
doctrine. The colporteur was nothing
more or less than a simple travelling book
seller and on this account could not be
considered a propaganda Of religion op-
posed to the state church. The constitu-
tional charter lays down that no one Is to
be prosecuted for his religious opinions,
Oh 10 81 -
and respects public morality. and in this
case there Is nothing offensive to the state
religion or public morality"
This judgment Is epoch-making. Col
porteurs and evangelists who obey the
law will no longer be in fear of arbitrary
arrest and cruel treatment

ton tongue is said TO be bar.
An interested bride who went to ST.
Mary'S Church up until her marriage said
she wanted to continue going there, but
that her husband, being of Irish descent
and absolutely unfamiliar with the Ger
man language. had baked. He said he
wanted his religious instruction in Ian
guage he understands. The bride does
not wish TO attach herself to another
church.
Rev. Frank A. Wunnenburg pastor OF
st. Mary's Church. says he has heard OF
the movement. and added that IL was a
matter for future adjustment.
This demand for an English mass at
ST. Marys. it is declared. will open up an
interesting problem in church government.
Some maintain that to permit this innova-
ton would invite the severing of parish
limits. On the other hand, the advocates
of the innovation declare that, having
been raised in the parish church OF their
countrymen they feel that this special
consideration is due them. and they want
to have their husbands or wives and chill
dren worshipping by their side in an un-
derstanding manner at the shrine of their
girlhood and boyhood.

SundayMorning Talk
Life in Terms Of Duty.

Some years ago I heard distinguished
college professor address a body Of stu
dents on the subject of duty. His main
proposition was that life consisted of an
uninterrupted series of inevitable and
ness to perform faithfully and without
complaint. In the heat Of youth 1 re-
volted at the time from the doctrine. 1t
seemed to me SO hard. SO infiexible. 1t
left no room, apparently, for pleasures,
amusements and the easier and lighter
side Of life. With increasing years !
have come to be a believer in the teaching
which I once secuted. After all. the
duty theory Of life Is a splendid and
inspiring one.
We are here in this world on probation.
Theirs not to reason why. theirs but
to do and die" Is as imperative a sum-
mons to US as 1t was to the Three Hun
dred at Balaklava. Things are given
us to do. and when we have done them
to the best Of our ability we are to go
quickly and cheerfully to the next duty.
And ever at each period
He stopped and sang Praise Cod
Then back again his curls he threw
And meekly bent to work anew.
And I have come to see how such a
theory leaves ample room for all the dear
and wholesome and profitable delights
that belong inalienably to humanity. Du-
BILE. The duty Of a given hour may be
to give ourselves unreservedly to pleas
ure. Some overworked, worried man or
woman who may read these lines needs
at once a good big dose of recreation
and possibly one of frivolity. For a while
at least, my jaded brother or sister, the
law is summed up in this command
ment: Thou shalt give myself a due
measure of rest and thou shalt have
a good time"
I'm civ 70 f,,1l,,
You rise in the morning and the day
seems in prospect overfull and very
much confused. What shall you do
first? There is only one duty designed
for one period of time. You are not
called upon to do either less or more than
you can do. Three kinds of duties are
sure to face you before sunset. duties
to yourself. to others and to God. You
can find out. If you are patient and teach
able and persistent enough, in what order
and with what emphasis on a given day
these duties present themselves. Then
you can start in quietly and conf
IDENTIFY and do them. and If you do not get
them all done before night because OF
Interruptions or invincible obstacles the
way in which you meet those very diver
your duty-doing.
How this glorifes life! IT did but do
my duty. boys" gasped the dying color
bearer. land the dear old flag never once
soldier on the battlefield construed his
duty. and in times of peace one does the
soldiers duty who seeks as earnestly
to uphold the honor of his home. his
community. his state. Then his name
rightly belongs with those great saviors of
the race who for 1900 years have each in
his turn initiated him who, when boy.
said: Il must be about my Fathers bust
ness" and who when the shadow Of the
cross lay dark on his path resolutely
set his face to go to Jerusalem.
All. Wordsworth was right when he
sang In praise of duty:
Stern Lawgiver. thou dost wear
The Godheads' most benignant grace,
Nor know me anything so fair
As Is the smile upon thy face.

Pale slime. Since the destruction of the

The Zionists contend that they are an

their OWN and without government to

rights. Zionism aims to remedy this con-

GOD IS NEAR.
BY JOHN A. JOYCE.

God is near upon the ocean.
God is near upon the land;
He is All. both rest and motion
We are only grains OF sand.
Little mites upon LIES billow.
Mayfiies buzzing out the hour,
Dreams upon a fevered pillow,
Dewdrops on a withered flower.
Only waiting for tomorrow,
That has never come TO man,
Here we live in JOY and sorrow.
Chasing phantoms as We can.
Chasing pleasure. chasing greatness.
Over tangled walks and waves:
But we learn the bitter lateness
Just before We fnd our graves.
Hope is nigh with fairy fingers.
Tracing sunbeams on the way;
Magic memory ever fingers,
Busy with the bygone day.
Life and death are but the portals
To realm of endless rest;
God Is working through His mortals;
All In some way shall be blessed
