Let us dare to assert the truth in the face of the lying
World, and instead of pleading for our Church at tin Inn
of the State, summon the State it self to plead at the bar
of the Church, its divinely con.dituted judge —lbul.

Religious Liberty, in the sense of n liberty possessed
by every man tochooso his religion, is one of the um.-t
wretched delusions ever foisted on this age by the father
of all deceit.— The Rambler , 1943.
