A Convenient Time

By K. C. R.

THERE will not be a more convenient time for the friends of religious liberty to exert themselves in enlightening the people regarding the dangers which threaten the rights of conscience than during this present season. From the work that has already been done by the so-called reformers, whose efforts can only logically result in a complete union of church and state in this country, we feel that this season will be no exception to previous ones, in their determination to secure their desired ends.

Their attacks during the summer months will doubtless be aimed at all forms of popular amusement taking place on Sunday, but which are considered legitimate on all other days. It should be made plain to all that we are not championing theaters upon any day of the week; but, on the other hand, we should make it equally as plain that the state has no right to deprive people of the opportunity of doing on Sunday that which is considered proper on other days of the week.

Let every loyal Seventh-day Adventist plan at once to improve every opportunity in the community where he may reside, to educate the people concerning the principles of Christian liberty, as the Sunday closing crusades arise.

The following is a list of some of the new religious liberty tracts which can be used to good advantage in our work this summer: (1) Principles Too Little Understood, (2) Sunday Laws, (3) Logic of Sabbath Legislation, (4) The Civil Sabbath, (5) Civil Government and the Church, (6) Religious Liberty—What Eminent Authorities Say, (7) The Church’s Greatest Need To-day, (8) Church Federation, (9) Limits of Civil Authority, (10) A Vital Question, (11) What Are Works of Charity and Necessity? (12) “Backward States.”

All orders for tracts should be sent to the Review and Herald Publishing Association, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C. K. C. R.
