The Need of Religious Liberty Leaflets
THE recent circulation of the petitions against Congressional legislation has revealed the result of the systematic circulation of National Reform literature begun a few years ago for the education of the public in favor of the enforcement of Sunday observance by law. Our workers are astonished to find so many who now favor enforced Sabbath observance. This is the result of the universal presence of reform literature, and the absence of religious liberty literature. While liberty-loving people have rested, and the reformers worked, the public has lost sight of the fundamental principles of religious liberty, and has become favorable to Sunday laws and Sabbath legislation, and developed into advocates of the establishment of the civil Sabbath. This situation demands increased efforts, and the circulation of millions copies of the religious liberty leaflets recently prepared under the following titles:— “Principles Too Little Understood,” 8 pages, 38 cents a hundred. “Sunday Laws, Their Origin, Nature, and Object,” 8 pages, 38 cents a hundred. “The Logic of Sabbath Legislation,” 8 pages, 38 cents a hundred. “The Civil Sabbath,” 12 pages, 55 cents a hundred. These four tracts practically cover the question of Sunday observance; and millions of copies are needed for the defense of the principles of religious liberty against the National Reform literature that has been flooding the country for the last five years.
