RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

The term religious liberty has {
political and historic sense, and SHOULD
not be COMPOUNDED with "soul liberty
or Christian liberty" Religious lib
erty means freedom from restraint o.
compulsion in all matterh pretainine
to religious faith, teaching and prac-
tice. It belongs alike to believer and
should be guaranteed to all men Q.
all creeds and no creed But this
liberty is too often denied ard infrine-
ed,
On the other hand, 'Christian lib
erty is, properly speaking, the liberty
with which Christ makes his people
free. This liberty is like the emotion )
of the soul, the processes of the mind,
beyond the power of human govern
ment to destroy or even to invade. It
is freedom from the domino ton Of sin,
