STRUGGLES OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

A New Pamphlet for Use in Religious Liberty Work

66 pages. Price 10 cents.
During one of the strongest campaigns for Sunday legislation ever waged in California, Pastor J. O. Corliss, who has given the best years of his life to religious liberty work, wrote a series of articles for this paper, covering the struggles through which the state has passed in maintaining its religious freedom. In these the whole question of religious liberty and the principles involved were so clearly set forth as to create a strong demand for this matter in permanent form, to be used in personal study, and as a document to educate the people on this intensely important question. In response, a most attractive ten-cent pamphlet with the above title has been issued, and is in circulation. Its chapter headings are:
  1. Introduction — Early History;
  2. Court Decisions Regarding California Sunday Law;
  3. California’s Unique Position Compared with Other States;
  4. California’s Noble Stand Against Religious Legislation;
  5. Use of the Initiative and Referendum;
  6. A Candid Appeal;
Appendix, consisting of text and analysis of proposed law.
The principles of liberty could hardly be more strikingly presented than in connection with the story of the efforts of a great state to be free from all forms of religious legislation. The presentation is so live and of such current interest, that the pamphlet can not fail to appeal to thinking people everywhere. A liberal use of it will have a most telling educational effect in the great campaign that must continuously be waged in behalf of liberty.
