Religious Liberty Notes

DURING the present session of the New York State Legislature there have been no fewer than thirteen Sunday bills introduced. We understand that those in charge of the religious liberty work there will endeavor to secure hearings on these bills.

In addition to a list of the State legislators, the Southern Missouri Conference sends in subscriptions for Liberty to be sent to over sixty county judges residing within the limits of the Southern Missouri Conference. This is a good example for others to follow.

The Mountain View (Cal.) Register, of Jan. 22, 1909, contains over a two-column report of a discussion of the proposed “Sunday Rest law” in California. On Sunday evening, January 17, the advocates of the rest law, under the leadership of Dr. G. L. Tufts, spoke in Swalls’ Hall, Mountain View, and the following night the Seventh-day Adventists held a meeting in the same hall for the purpose of refuting the arguments in regard to the Sunday law. The speakers at this meeting were Elders J. O. Corliss, M. C. Wilcox, and A. O. Tait.
