PETHOORAD. Aug. 29 — Rapid pro
gress Is being made by the commis
sion newly appointed to reform that
part of the penal law of 1902 which
deals with violation of the principle
of religions liberty, conversion to an
other religion by violence or threats
and "perversion" to another religion
by fraud or undue influence.
, The basis of this law was n distinc
tion. first, between orthodox and non
orthodox Christians, and second, he
tween Christians generally and Mo
hammedans and heathen. Voluntary
come sion from orthodoxy was pun
Ishal !>■ under eerlain conditions
where is voluntary conversion to or
thodoxy was not punishable. For eon
version lo orthodoxy by violence or
lhrc.il the penalties were mild and. In
practice were never enforced; and
non Christians virtually were not at
nil protected against violent conver
sion.
The law now under consideration re
eogtii es 1 lie complete liberty of nil
Christians. To emphasize Ibis prin
ciple, the projected law abolishes the
legal use of the word "heresy," and re
places the legnl term “perversion"
|with ‘ conversion.”
The new law will protect citizens
again -t forcible conversion by impos
ing a penalty of Imprisonment not ex
ceeding three years. The law will
forth -r deal with certain extremist
sectarians such as the Skoptsi and
othei s, which mutilate themselves and
have even burned one another alive
For such offences the penalty is im
prisonment in a fortress.
Everything in furniture and house
hold goods. Just call on Lambert. tf

QUERY.
lint how of those, who ne'er did find
\ mate for cherished hopes?
Can they call back and say that time
Defrauds and gloats?
Of mischief rank, when it decreed
That you and I must ne’er attain
That happiness that bliss conceived
By those who men and Cod proclaim
As one!
Here logic fails and time-worn pre
cepts
And rules and formulae does naught
avail,
Hr go!
If thus decreed, begone alone! your
fate accept,
' (the. . preceded, so do not bewail,
The fact you’re n bachelor,
or perchance a bachelor maid.
—H. C. 1. S.

poem in Cordova Daily Times,
