Religious Liberty Work in California

By W. A. C.

THE following resolutions were adopted at the recent camp-meetings in northern and southern California:—

“1. Resolved, That we request the Pacific Union Conference to arrange with the local conference for a series of institutes for the study of the principles and rules of civil and divine government.

“2. Resolved, That we ask the Pacific Religious Liberty Association to provide suitable literature on the subject of liberty for general circulation by gift and sale.

“3. Resolved, That we pledge our financial support to this branch of the work, and to use our personal efforts and influence to circulate its literature and obtain signatures to its petitions.

“Whereas, Those favoring a State Sunday law are already in the field educating the people to demand a law to this end from the next California Legislature; therefore,—

“4. Resolved, That we open an early campaign in behalf of religious liberty, by securing signatures to petitions requesting the coming legislature not to attempt any religious legislation.”

In view of the determined effort the “Moral Reformers” are putting forth to wheel California into line with the rest of the States on the Sunday-law question, and the importance of rightly meeting this issue and enlightening the people as it comes up, our people in this State have a great responsibility resting upon them. That they may be guided by God and greatly blessed in their efforts should be the prayer of all. W. A. C.
