A Commendable Action

By S. B. H.

At its recent meeting the Southern California Conference passed the following resolution on the subject of distributing the magazine Liberty:—

“In view of the strong efforts being made to secure a Sunday law for California, in anticipation of the forthcoming Panama Exposition and the necessity for enlightening the people concerning this issue,—

“9. We recommend, That this conference unite with the other California conferences in furthering the expected action of the Pacific Union Conference to supply the civil officers of the State—the judges, county supervisors, and leading lawyers—with the magazine Liberty for one year, and that this conference pay its pro rata share of expense for the same, to the amount of three hundred dollars, if necessary.”

This recommendation will be very helpful to the cause of religious liberty in the great State of California. Now is the time for energetic endeavor in placing our literature in the hands of the people in order that they may become familiar with present truth. This is especially true with regard to the civil officers of our State and nation, whom we must warn in regard to the limits of civil authority. The magazine Liberty furnishes an excellent medium for such work, and it is to be hoped that every conference in the United States will take the same position as did the Southern California Conference.
