Remonstrances Against the Johnston Sunday Bill

The remonstrances against the Johnston Sunday Bill or any similar measure continue to pour into the Senate. As they come from all parts of the country and are presented by many senators, they must make quite an impression. Up to the time that this paper went to press, no effort had been made to call up the Johnston Bill in the Senate, and the substitute for it, prepared by the legislative committee of the Lord’s Day Alliance, had not been presented. In the ordinary course of things, it would seem hardly likely that either bill could become a law during the present Congress, which expires March 4; but it is possible that an effort may be made to rush one through during the closing days of the session. Earnest efforts have been put forth to forestall any such outcome as this, and the work will be continued. The prompt coöperation of our people throughout the United States has been a great factor in the campaign.
