UNION OF STATE AND RELIGION
 DEPL0RABLE,' PASTOR MARTIN

would be making the civil magistrate the arbiter of the difference between the different religious sects. That would be setting the state up as in- fallible. This was once attempted in one part of our government in it's formative period. This broupht out g. strong protest from certain promi- nent men of the time. In 1776, the Hanover Presbyterians sent a strong, very strong, protest to the Virginia Assembly, in which the following words were used: It is at least i'm possible for the magistrate to judge the right of difference among the vari- ous sects that profess the Christian faith without erecting a chair of in- fallibility which would lead us back to the church of Rome'
 Tt is also clearly annunciated in the principles of our government that no religious test ever shall be required as a qualification for office. We fully trust it may be long time before these principles are forgotten in our government, and may it be long time before our government shall yield to the pressure brought to bear upon it, to establish any religious faith, and set itself to bind the consciences of it's citizens. Religion has proved itself capable of existing and spreading when not supported by the hand of any government. It should be left to the individual to worship or not to worship, as his conscience may die tate''

A man was talking about hard luck, and his friend was listening with a sour expression.

E. V. Anaya, CaTTa1lZd consul at Tucson, aided and abetted by Carranza agents in Washington and elsewhere is induStriouSly circulating the report, through the press and otherwise, that the state department at Washington, D. C., has ordered all United States consuls in the states of Chihuahua and Sonora to at once leave their posts and hasten across the border.
 This is a pure fabrication of the facts, for no such or der has been issued, nor will any such order ever be issued as long as the United States and Mexico are not at war!
 The report is given out for the sole and only purpose of bolstering up Carranza by falsehood, and pulling down the Villa cause at the same time.
 To show how far Carranzistas will go in misrepresenting the facts, re- produce the following from the Tue son Citizen" of September 18th:
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 15.- The state department today issued an order to all consuls in northern Sono- Ia and Chihuahua to withdraw to the United States, because of dangers of a border uprising and the inability of Mexican leaders to protect them.
 Tt is said that the government now wishes to forestall difficulties which might arise from acts of marauding bands threatening depredations in Mexico. It is reported that in several instances the Mexican military lead CTS said they could not be responsi- ble for the safety of American citizens or officials.
 Commenting on the order by the state department for all American consuls to leave northern Sonora and Chihuahua, E. V. Anaya, Carranza consul, said:
 "'This is good news to the con- stitutionalists. These consuls are in the enemy's territory, and those in Carranza territory have not been mo- tested. This indicates that the United States recognizes that there is no re- sponsible government in Chihuahua and in that part of Sonora controlled by the Villa government
 l repeat that there isn't a word of truth in that report, and when the Carranza consul at Tucson gives it his official endorsement and wider publicity, he subjects himself to the same dose of wholesome medicine that was but recently administered to the Austrian ambassador at Washington.
 When United States consuls in any part of Mexico can no longer be pro- tected by Mexican officials, Uncle Sam won't call them home, but he will send protection to them, just as

REPORTS IF J. s. CONSU[S
 ORDERED FROM MEXICO UNTRUE

|, "HCu I1uOl td oOI H1u1SSlI up dS d uIS tator, a la Carranza But until tha time, United States consuls will re main at their posts and perform thei ordinary duties to American citizen and American property, and their ex traordinary duty of looking after tn, interests of such other foreign govern ments as see fit to place their affair in the keeping of Uncle Sam. The truth of the whole matter i that the state department has repeat ed it's warning to Americans to leav, Mexico until a more stable form o government is inaugurated than nov exists in any part of that distressed country; but the order does not appl. to United States consuls or other U s. officials now stationed in Mexico.
 The same warning was issued tt Americans in England, France, Aus tria, Germany, Turkey, Italy and Rus sia; in fact, it is the usual order is
 
 sued by all nations to it's citizens wht happen to be in foreign country il time of war between that country anc any other, or an internal war amont it's own inhabitants.
 Here is the correct telegram, sen out from Washington, and which ha, been so distorted by Carranza sympa thizers that when published like the! give it out it has no semblance to tht truth. Read it:
 WASHINGTON. D. G., Sept. 15.- Regarding official advices to Ameri cans to remain out of Mexico, tht state department said: Owing to tn, disturbed conditions on the Mexican border the department repeats it's ao vice to American citizens to remai1 on this side of the boundary for tn, present. Officials reiterated denial that the announcement has any bear ing on the Mexican political situa tion."
 The A. B. c. Peace Conference originally scheduled to hold it's sec ond meeting yesterday, postponed i until Saturday, apparently for the pur pose of awaiting the arrival of Genera Angeles and other delegates appointed by General Villa to be on hand t, fairly represent the, Villa cause. is more than probable that Carranz; will have representatives present tt press his claims for recognition, but in view of the fact that every par of entry on the Texas border is nov closed to Carranza, while the leadin, port on the border is open to Villa it would seem that Carranza is "ul against it',
 That something of unusual import ance will happen in New York on Sat urday, when the Peace conferenc, meets, there doesn't seem any room for doubt. If the conference ha found man who will be acceptabl, to all factions it will be a Gods sent to Mexico and an undying glory tt Woodrow Wilson and the A. B. c Peace Conference.

OAlNlA AANIA, oSPt. Teaching religion in the pub lie schools is contrary to true American principles, accord ing to Pastor w. F. Martin, Iof this city, president of the Southeastern California Con- IIference of the Seventh-Day lAdventiStS.
 The nationwide effort to create sentiment in it's favor by having clergymen preach upon the subject throughout the country, is tending to bring about church and state union, with consequent injus- tice to all, President Martin said in an interview today. While he believes in religious instruction for the young, he thinks this should be given in sectarian schools, but not in Ithe public schools.
 "A strong effort is being made at present by certain religious but mis- guided men to have the Christian reli- zion taught in the state schools" said President Martin. q am Christian, and have unbounded confidence in the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures and the Christian religion. I believe there is eternal life only in believing in Jesus Christ. Furthermore, I believe in the teaching of the law of God diligently to the young. However, there is time and place for all things. Even the Christian world is not agreed as to what constitutes the Christian religion.
 'The public schools are established and maintained by the state This maintenance is drawn from taxes paid by all the people, irrespective of creed or belief The Jew, the infidel, and the Hindu pay their taxes to support the state. school.
 Again, the teachers in the schools are not all Christians, and those who are, are not of one faith. If religion should be taught in the public schools, | it would be necessary for each teach CT to make profession of religion and pose as religious teacher. To qualify for teaching the schools, it would be necessary for them to pass an examination in the Christian re- ligion This would debar some excell- ent teachers who are now training the young in the principles of good citi- zenship, and in scientific lines. We are also led to wonder if it would not lead some to make a profession of religion who would not be sincere, in order that they might gain a place in the schools For ihe state to teach religion in it's schools it would be necessary for it to adopt a certain form of religion. When this is done, there is a union of the church and the state d

trouble savers. backed by the cheer
full influence Of a breezy fan, that
take the drag out of summers

The bride pic red here la so for
tunate as 10 find a complete electric
table stove among her tissue paper
parcels, and is using IL to best ad-
vantage as a hot-weather helper.
Though small and handsome enough
to be used on the breakfast or din
ner table, 1t is thoroughly prac-
teal stove. One side of the heat.
er serves as frying pan, the other
side as a sriddle on which pan
cakes may be cooked.
The bride has found that In the
water pan eggs may be boiled or
poached, savory stews prepared, or
dainty dishes cooked en- casserole.
lnverting the water pan over the
heater forms an oven: by placing
the heater over the water pan,
chops may be broiled. They are
set inside the water pan on broil-
ing screen. so that the meat is
brought close to the heater.
Then, too. this bride declares that
one OF the hottest of hot weather
tasks has been ironing. Formerly
ironing was done in the same room
with a red-hot stove or a superheat
ed gas range The electric iron
with its self.supplied heat has done
away with excessive heat. AS the
electric iron can be used wherever
there is an electric lamp socket
you can take the ironing to any
room in the house or even out OF
doors. You can always work
where 1t is cool The iron is ready
at a moments notice and puts eff
cheney into work that was once con
sidered a hot and hopeless task.
Another feature that makes fol-
easy ironing is the suspension arm
that supports the electric cord from
above. keeping ii always straigh,
md out of the way. This clever
device cuts ont the annoyance
caused by dragging cord, and
makes II possible to use the electric
iron to best advantage.
