How You Can Help

IN your reading of newspapers and magazines, watch for any item relating to the question of religious liberty, and then send on to us marked copies of such publications, or clippings from them. We especially wish the names and addresses of the persons who are mentioned in the reports of these events, in order that we may correspond with them, and supply them with appropriate literature. The minds of people who are thinking on the subject of religious legislation can be impressed more easily than those of people who are not concerned either way.

The items, which we wish you to be on the outlook for are such as these: Reports of Sunday-closing crusades, reports of arrests for Sunday work, reports of conventions or other meetings where Sunday legislation is touched upon, court decisions affecting liberty of conscience and the Bible in the public schools, freedom of speech and of the press, the movement for the federation of the churches, indications of a purpose on the part of Protestants and Catholics to join hands in bringing about religious legislation, religious bills introduced in State legislatures, striking statements of clergymen or statesmen for or against freedom of conscience, etc.

If you will take up this work, you will greatly facilitate the work which the Religious Liberty Department was organized to carry on, and every effort put forth in this direction will be deeply appreciated by us. For us to patronize a regular clipping bureau is quite expensive; but if our brethren and sisters throughout the field will help us in the manner suggested, we shall have a valuable clipping bureau of our own, at very little expense to the cause.

In sending clippings, be sure to write the name and date of the paper on the margin of the clipping.
