The Need of Immediate Action
By K. C. Russell
SUNDAY bills are being introduced into Congress so often this session that it is difficult to supply petition blanks indicating the number and title of the various bills. We would urge the importance of our people's writing personal letters to the representatives in Congress from their respective districts, in which they should kindly but earnestly remonstrate against the Sunday bills now before Congress; namely, H. R. 3022, H. R. 10510, H. R. 16483, and H. R. 16556. The three last-numbered bills are for the District of Columbia. Should any feel that they are not qualified to write letters because they are not sufficiently conversant with the principles underlying the legislation demanded by these bills, I would recommend that they carefully study the tracts explaining the bills, H. R. 3022 and H. R. 10510, and also read the new publication Liberty. These documents contain abundant information to help all in setting forth their requests in a clear, pointed manner. Let the letters be short and to the point. An advantage in addition to making a vigorous protest to the bills by writing, will be the benefit that each one may derive from a study of the question of religious legislation sufficiently to enable him clearly to set forth these principles in his communication. All should be prepared to give a reason for the hope that is within them. The petition work should be continued until further notice.
