Congress and Sunday Legislation

THE regular session of the Sixty-second Congress of the United States convened in Washington December 4. This Congress will doubtless have before it many important questions vitally affecting the interests of the people. Its deliberations will be carefully noted from day to day. Already a Sunday bill has been introduced. What will result from it, we can not now tell. In the meantime we should be doing all we can to educate the people with reference to the principles involved in such legislation. We can never hope to save the United States government from, in the end, committing itself to Sunday legislation; but we may save individuals from becoming ensnared by these evil principles. The object of the conflict which we wage against such legislation should be to present the principles of the gospel of Christ, seeking in this way to retard as long as possible the passing of such laws, and to enlighten each individual citizen with reference to the evil of such legislation, that he may take his stand in the final conflict upon the side of God and his truth.
