Hearing on the Proposed Sunday Law
By Editor
THE hearing on the proposed Sunday law for the District of Columbia called together quite a number of speakers who were prominent in the campaign one year ago for the introduction of religious instruction into the public schools of this District. It was a vivid reminder of former experiences when the editor of the REVIEW found himself associated with others in opposing the measure advocated by Dr. R. H. McKim, Dr. J. G. Butler, and other clergymen of this city. There was one marked difference, however. This hearing was conducted by those who gave to every man “a square deal,” and did not permit even Dr. McKim to trespass on the rights of others. We hope to announce the decision of the commissioners concerning this bill in our next issue. A full report of the hearing will be found on the eighteenth page.
