Religious Liberty Leaflets
Last week's Review contained first-page facsimiles of the four Religious Liberty leaflets. Those who read the first pages of these tracts were impressed with the clear, concise, and logical introduction of the treatise on the four important topics; but the full contents of the tracts always bring strong conviction favorable to the great principles of religious liberty. Leaflet No. 1 bears the title of “Principles Too Little Understood.” It contains a short, practical, impressive discussion of the fundamental principles of personal, national, and religious liberty. Eight pages; price, 38 cents. Leaflet No. 2 is an eight-page tract on “Sunday Laws; Their Origin and Nature, and Object.” Any one reading this tract will not fail to discern the true spirit of these religious enactments. This tract alone, circulated in any community where Sunday legislation is in progress, will be sufficient for the time being to prevent the enforcement of Sunday laws. Leaflet No. 3 exposes the evil of Sabbath legislation, and reveals the true meaning of Sabbath laws. The title of this tract is “The Logic of Sabbath Legislation.” It contains eight pages; price, 38 cents per hundred. Leaflet No. 4 is entitled “The Civil Sabbath.” It exposes the arguments that are so prevalent for the establishment of the civil sabbath in the United States. Associated with this exposition are principles of true Sabbath observance contrasted with enforced observance. Twelve pages; 55 cents per hundred. These four tracts, together with the tract “An Appeal to Clergy,” completely settle the Sabbath question and the enforcement of Sunday observance by law. These tracts ought to be studied in connection with the present— on Religious Liberty and Health and Temperance. The first six lessons for the present quarter are interesting studies upon the Bible and Liberty, the Sabbath and Liberty, Sunday and Slavery, an Epoch of Freedom, the Powers that Be, and the Final Conflict. The remaining lessons for the quarter treat upon the principles of health and health reform. Life and Health will be excellent to study in connection with these health and temperance lessons. The Quarterlies containing these Sabbath-school lessons retail at 5 cents a copy, and are kept by all State tract societies. Associated with the study of the Sabbath-school lessons on health and temperance— for the year 1905 will be of practical help to the youth and children; for a series of interesting health talks is now appearing in that paper. These articles are prepared by a thoroughly qualified physician, who will show in a most entertaining way the Nature and Habits of Bacteria, or Germs; How They Are Helpful, How They Are Injurious, How to Take Advantage of Their Help, and How to Prevent Injury from Their Presence. These articles will be written in language adapted to youthful readers, and will give many interesting facts on germ life, strongly impressing the importance of a sanitary life. Besides these health studies on germs, the Instructor will contain more instructive, interesting, and valuable matter during the year than in any previous year of its existence. Among a host of other good things there will be a series of interesting and instructive sketches on Authors and Artists, Practical Lessons on the Science of Illustrations, Thrilling Studies in Nature, A Study of the Principles of True Protestantism, Missionary Travels and Missions in the Principal Mission Fields, Young People’s Work in All of Its Phases, etc. The Instructor for 1905 will be equal to a year in a good school for our young people, and will have a strong influence in keeping them in the love of the truth, and in molding their lives for future service in the cause.
