1811-1911

The Spirit of Sunday Laws Exposed

—

A Sunday law is demanded to shut off competition in trade; to enable a man to “keep the sabbath” without losing any business; to be religious without costing him anything. But the religion which costs nothing is too cheap to be worth anything.

Many of the strongest positions taken during the past one hundred years by prominent men, and established by acts of Congress, against the principle of the union of the church and the state, are contrasted with present-day demands for religious legislation.

These leading features of this issue, strongly supported by pithy, convincing editorials and solid-shot articles completely answering the arguments of National Reformism, and making plain the true principles of religious liberty, render this issue THE MOST EFFECTIVE EVER PUBLISHED.

He who reads this number of LIBERTY can not remain in ignorance of the principles violated in enacting and enforcing any religious law. It is clear, convincing and conclusive.

A Strong Campaign Number

A history of the past and a warning for the future, which ought to be read by every American citizen, and heeded by the lawmakers of the States and the nation.

If our liberty-loving readers recognize their opportunity, and do their full duty, they will place hundreds of thousands of copies of this issue in the possession of the people.
