Memorial Against Religious Legislation

By Editor

ON January 29 there was introduced into both houses of Congress a memorial on religious legislation, signed by the president and secretary of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. This memorial was introduced in the Senate by Senator Julius C. Burrows of Michigan, and in the House by Representative Richard Bartoldt of Missouri, and upon Senator Burrows’ request was printed in the Congressional Record of that date. The memorial sets forth the true principles of civil and religious liberty, the position of our people in reference to those principles, and protests against the settlement of religious questions by legal enactments. The full text of the memorial will be published in the next issue of the REVIEW. Now let our people write to their congressmen from their respective districts, calling attention to the memorial, and protesting against religious legislation of any kind whatsoever. The memorial appears on page 1281 of the Congressional Record of January 29.
