The “Bible Text-Book” is indeed a work of rare merit. ELDER S. H. LANE.

Consent of the Governed and the Image of the Beast

The Independent, October 25, says: “We are hearing a great deal, these days, of the ‘self-evident truth’ that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. . . . This absolute generalization regarding consent . . . is likely to gasp out its last breath in the pending campaign.” It is greatly to be feared that this will prove true. And if in this campaign that thing does breathe out its last breath, and the fundamental principle of Protestant and republican government be so utterly repudiated by this nation, then no mind can conceive the rapidity of the development of the Image of the Beast that will surely follow.
PLANS for the first New York State Conference of Religion, to be held in New York City, November 20–22, are nearly finished. Among the speakers thus far engaged, and their topics, are the following: Rev. Washington Gladden, D. D., “Religion Vital to Democracy;” President George A. Gates, of Iowa College, “Dangerous Classes in a Republic;” President G. Stanley Hall, “Religious Education in the Public Schools;” Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, of New Haven, Conn., “Education by Church and School in Social Righteousness;” Rev. W. C. Gannett and Prof. Walter Rauschenbusch, “Religion, the Life of God in the Soul of Man;” Rev. Dr. Heber Newton and Rev. Dr. Henry Berkowitz, “The Possibilities of Common Worship;” Rev. Charles F. Dole, “The Unorganized Religious Forces;” Rev. Josiah Strong, D. D., “The Message of the Conference to the Churches.” Other speakers announced are Rev. Dr. Charles E. Parkhurst; President Hall, of Union Theological Seminary; Rev. Thomas R. Slicer; Prof. Henry S. Nash, and Mr. Henry D. Lloyd, of Chicago. That meeting will be a direct and also a large contribution to the making of the Image of the Beast. For every one of the subjects announced, with possibly two exceptions, contemplates the union of religion and the state. And from the association, it may be confidently expected that the two possible exceptions will be so turned as to contribute to the one great thought of all the others. Let all read the pamphlet “Christian Patriotism,” and they can easily discern the true bearing of such things as this Conference and the subjects announced.

Anglo-German Agreement on China's Open Ports and Territory

OCTOBER 16 there was published to the world the terms of alliance between Britain and Germany in the matter of the China tangle, as follows:—
The German government and her British majesty’s government, being desirous to maintain their interests in China and their rights under existing treaties, have agreed to observe the following principles regarding a mutual policy in China:—
1. It is a matter of joint permanent international interest that the ports on the rivers and littoral of China should remain free and open to trade and to every other legitimate form of economic activity for the peoples of all countries without distinction; and the two governments agree on their part to uphold the same for all Chinese territory as far as they can exercise influence.
2. Both governments agree that they will not on their part make use of the present complication to obtain for themselves any territorial advantage in Chinese dominion, and will direct their policy toward maintaining undiminished the territorial condition of the Chinese Empire.
3. In case of another Power making use of the complications in China in order to obtain under any form whatever such territorial advantages, the two contracting parties reserve to themselves the right to come to a preliminary understanding regarding the eventual step to be taken for the protection of their own interests in China.
4. The two governments will communicate this agreement to the other Powers interested, especially Austria-Hungary, France, Italy, Japan, Russia, and the United States, and invite them to accept the principles recorded in it.

Catholic Church and U.S. Rule in the Philippines

The United States minister to Spain, while at Geneva, Switzerland, October 14, spoke of a recent interview with the pope, as follows:—
Since Archbishop Ireland’s visit to the Vatican, it is clearly understood there that the best interests of the Roman Catholic Church demand American rule in the Philippines. The United States and the Roman Catholic Church have the same aims there, and hope to work together for order and peace.
And when the United States and the Catholic Church “have the same aims,” and “work together” in the Philippines, how long will it be before they will do the same thing in the United States itself?

REVIEW AND HERALD

Judge's Flag-Kissing Oath and the Threat of Compulsion

A JUDGE in an Ohio court the other day declared: “I shall procure an American flag, and every male candidate for citizenship [by naturalization] will have to kneel and kiss its folds.” That approaches very near to the requiring of an act of worship. From the progress that has already been made in that direction, it may be expected that, before very long, whoever does not take off his hat in the presence of the American flag, or in the hearing of a national air, will be mobbed in the interests of “patriotism.”

Review and Herald Bindery Works on Christ

An interesting item in the work of the Review and Herald publishing house is the fact that for several weeks just past the bindery has been engaged on books which, whether of our own or outside work, treat of Christ. The work has been on “The Life of Christ;” “Christ’s Object Lessons;” “Christ in Song;” “The Coming King,” in German, English, Danish, and Swedish; “Prophecies of Jesus,” in German and Danish; and “The Desire of Ages.” May it be ever so; and more and more.
