Religious Liberty Notes

A PRESIDENT of one of our conferences writes: “We want to supply not only our legislators, but also all of our district judges and the county attorneys with Liberty. We hope to push the petition work also.”

The following from the Bermuda Royal Gazette of November 13 indicates that the effort to enact a Lord’s day act in Bermuda, similar to the Canadian law, has failed for the present: “In the House of Assembly yesterday afternoon Dr. T. H. Outerbridge moved that the House resolve into a committee to consider ‘The Lord’s Day Act.’ The motion failed to obtain a seconder, and consequently the colony heard the last of this measure. Requiescat in pace.”

We note with pleasure the good religious liberty articles in a recent number of the Southwestern Union Record and in the Indiana Reporter, and can not refrain from expressing the hope that the day has dawned when every number of our conference organs will be as sure to contain something on this vital theme as it is to make mention of the other phases of our work. We mention these two articles because they were not furnished by the General Department, but were evidently the outgrowth of local activity. Our conference organs have always been generous to the department in giving space to communications from headquarters, but it seems as if half the publicity problem is solved when from local volition these periodicals regularly contain matter of this nature.
