At the thirteenth annual convention of the W. C. T. U. of the District of Columbia, which closed October 4, a resolution was passed protesting against making Sunday a holiday, after the manner of the “European sabbath,” and also one calling upon Congress to provide an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting polygamy. As regards the Sabbath, the W. C. T. U. would do well to consider whether anything else but a holiday or a working day can be made out of Sunday, there being no act of God by which that day was made either a rest day or a holy day. If God has not sanctified the day, it can not be made holy by any act of man. As regards polygamy, there is reason for believing that the worst form of this evil is what has been termed “consecutive polygamy”—the product of the divorce courts and of the “pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness” of the moneyed class. The Mormon menace lies not so much in the tendency to practise polygamy, as in the move to obtain political control in the northwestern States, and thus to send a strong Mormon delegation to the national Congress.
