The Petition Work in Ontario
By A. O. BURRILL
IN five days last week, a brother got three hundred signatures against the enactment of more strict Sunday laws in the Dominion. His experience is thus related:— “I ask, as soon as the conversation will admit, ‘Do you want stricter Sunday laws enacted by the Dominion Parliament?’ The answer usually is ‘No.’ Then I say, ‘I am circulating a petition asking the Dominion Parliament to leave the Sunday law as it is, and I desire your signature.’ I nearly always secure it, too. Then I hand out a tract, and with a Good-by, say, ‘I will look for the next signature.’” “Evangelists should be finding their way into all the places where the minds of men are agitated over the question of Sunday legislation.”—Mrs. E. G. White. This is our time to scatter the literature. Our church-members should be scattering our religious liberty tracts, and others, too, everywhere. This is the time for the servants of God to be endowed with power from on high, and with their faces lighted up, and shining with holy consecration, to scatter the rays of light everywhere. He sends his angels with his children while engaged in this work.
