Sunday Observance in Post Offices

ON May 16, Representative James R. Mann, of Illinois, introduced into the House a bill (H. R. 9433) “for the observance of Sunday in post-offices,” which was referred to the Committee on Post-offices and Post-roads. The introduction of this bill brings to mind the fact that a similar bill was introduced into Congress three quarters of a century ago, and resulted in the adoption of the famous Sunday Mail Reports of Col. Richard M. Johnson, by both the Senate and the House of Representatives. We hope the men who deal with this bill will realize all that is involved in this kind of legislation as clearly as did Col. Johnson and his associates, who adopted these reports. The Religious Liberty Department has requested a hearing on this bill.
