Work Now

By J. O. Corliss

It may have been forgotten by some that there is now in a committee of Congress, waiting to be acted upon, what is known as the Johnston Sunday bill. This measure has already passed the Senate, and only requires the indorsement of the House to put it in force.

The present Congress closes at noon, March 4, 1911, and that time will soon be reached. The Sunday measure may be sprung and voted upon at any time within the limit stated. Unless the country at large shall be stirred to protest, the quiet work being done by the Sunday-law advocates is likely to put the measure through.

Without doubt our people everywhere have an immediate duty to perform, in sending forward petitions of protest, and in writing to the congressmen from their respective districts, stating briefly why they ought to vote against all such religious measures.

To hold back the Sunday law from taking effect now, is to secure another year of quiet, in which to carry on the work assigned this people. Let us therefore be up and doing while the day lasts. Let no one excuse himself from taking part. If petition blanks are needed, send at once for them to your tract society secretary. J. O. Corliss.
