Louisiana Sunday Law Memorial
IN the recent session of the Louisiana Legislature an effort was made to secure the passage of a Sunday law. This opened the way for the presentation of the truth concerning the nature and purpose of such legislation, and Elder S. B. Horton, the president of the Louisiana Conference, prepared and presented a memorial to the General Assembly of the State of Louisiana, session of 1904, petitioning against the enactment of a law relating to the observance of Sunday. The memorial is a pamphlet of twelve pages and cover, dealing with the general question under the following divisions: What is Sunday? Sunday Laws Are Religious Legislation, Religious Legislation Unconstitutional, The Realms of Church and State, and The Operation of Sunday Laws. Quotations are also made from leading periodicals and writers in support of the general principles of religious liberty. Our readers will remember that Brother Horton has already reported through the REVIEW the failure of this effort in behalf of Sunday legislation.
