Prof. Longacre Declares Re-
Iigious Bodies Lose Prestige
In Blue Law Fight.

'fChrist never delegated to any man
or set Of men the right to Judge their
feiiowmen In matters Of religious be-
'lief and doctrine. The man who tries
to Judge. men In spiritual matters now
illustrates the plan Of God ana as
sumes the prerogatives Of God"
This was the declaration Of Prof.
O. 8. Longacre, international secretary
of the Religious Liberty Association,
in an address last night at the Seventh
Day Adventist evangelistic meeting in
the big tent ut First street and Ran
dolph place northwest.
Prof. Longacre declared that there
are more than twenty religious or
eanizations In America working before
our legislative bodies and who have
lobt,ies established in Washington to
bring pressure to bear upon Congress
for the enactment Of drastic Sunday
laws" 4
..If the church does not stay out Of
politics she Is going to lose her pres
firn. and one Of these days she will
be driven out" he said. Americans
win stand a certain amount Of re.
nressiye legislation; but when tho
church and State combine to force
the conscience In religious matters.
Americans say, Hands OFF,
"God made the conscience free and
he never intended that any man
