“How Shall I Answer?”

By R. C. R.

IN an interview with a United States senator concerning the Johnston Sunday bill a few days ago, he related the following incident as showing why he could not oppose the measure:—
He said that a few years ago he was down in El Paso, Mexico, and was invited to attend a bull-fight on Sunday. He declined the invitation by saying that should he attend, he would not know how to answer his friends at home, for he was an officer in a society against cruelty to dumb animals, and also vice-president in a Sabbath Protective League.
“So,” he continued, “I would not know how to answer the president of the Sabbath Protective League, of which I am an officer, if I should oppose the passage of a Sunday law here in Congress.”
This is where the difficulty lies with too many men in such positions. They fear man more than God. R. C. R.
