A Victory in Maine

By W. A. C.

WRITING under date of April 4, Brother W. O. Howe, our religious liberty secretary for Maine, informs us that the Sunday bill introduced in the Maine Legislature during its present session, was defeated in the Senate by a vote of fourteen to thirteen. He attributes the result to the watering of the “good seed that was sown before the committee” at the hearing, which took place a few weeks ago, and was reported in the REVIEW of February 25.
The defeat of such measures having been so general throughout the country this winter, Congress included, and our people having taken so leading a part in opposing them, and contributed so much, doubtless, to their defeat, we can expect nothing else than that, in the near future, we shall have to meet a more determined opposition than we have yet experienced. W. A. C.
