One Master Mind

By W. A. S.

FROM all parts of the world we hear of revival of effort to secure the enforcement of the Sunday institution by law. In the most unexpected ways and places the issue springs up. Elder F. W. Spies, of Brazil, writes:—

We should be doing more here in Rio de Janeiro. There is now a very stringent Sunday bill before Congress. Thus the enemies of all liberty are at work, and we are not able to enlighten the people as to the meaning of these things. I am too much away from the city to do what should be done. We have had Sunday laws for years, but this last bill, I am told, is brought into Congress by a Presbyterian, and is a very strict one. We ought to make an effort corresponding to the importance of the situation.

Thus in Brazil, a land of Catholicism of the most superstitious kind, and a land of consequent unbelief and irreligion elements are found to put through religious legislation in behalf of the Sunday. One master mind is at work in all the earth, hastening on the final crisis. Twenty-five years ago we had few signs of such movements. Now they are before us continually, and the prophetic word is being fulfilled in this also.
