Use Religious Liberty Leaflets

By Editor

WE would call the attention of our people everywhere to the Religious Liberty Leaflets advertised on page 2 of this issue. In view of the fact that there is a strongly rising tide of agitation for oppressive religious legislation, we should be using these leaflets by the thousands. It is better that these leaflets should be doing their educating work before a crisis arises at any particular point; but if they have not had the opportunity thus to do their office work, then let them be used vigorously wherever a crisis has been brought about. California is now threatened with a Sunday law, and we are glad to see our people arising to the situation. South Carolina is now holding a threat of persecution over our brethren, ministers as well as lay members. Let the people of South Carolina have an opportunity now to learn what the truth is. There are ominous sounds of Sunday-law agitation in other States. Before they have taken action, the work of their education along religious liberty lines should be taken up by our people. We have had earnest counsel to the effect that this work should be carried on vigorously while we have the opportunity. The longer these oppressive laws are held in check, the more easily can God's last message be given to the people.
