A Needed and Useful Work
By Editor
WE commend to our readers a book entitled “American State Papers, Bearing on Sunday Legislation—Legislative, Executive, and Judicial.” The first edition was compiled and annotated by William Addison Blakely, of the Chicago Bar, for some years Doctor of Philosophy and Lecturer on Political Science and History in the University of Chicago, member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. The last edition has been edited by Willard Allen Colcord, of Washington, D. C., author of “The Rights of Man.” Contents and Foreword by Judge Thomas M. Cooley, author of “Constitution Limitations.” Published by the Religious Liberty Association, of Washington, D. C. This compilation brings together in convenient form, with excellent index, more upon the subject of religious liberty, the utterances of the government in its threefold phase, and of prominent men, than any other work in existence. It gives the Sunday laws of the various states, and the progress which has been made toward religious legislation in this country. Its nearly 800 pages are packed full of just such material as every judge, legislator, executive officer, of any nation, state, or municipality, every teacher, every professional man, and every patriotic citizen, ought to have. We cordially commend it. Its price is only, cloth, $1.25; full law sheep, $2.00; flexible leather, $2.50. It may be obtained at this office. Whether fully acquainted, or partially so, with the history given in Daniel 7, you will find its careful outline in “Waymarks to the Holy City” intensely interesting. It is what its name suggests, a tract pointing out the events which are truly waymarks of prophecy. Single copy, 2 cents, post-paid; $1.00 a hundred. This office. As a brief work to assist in the study of any phase of Christ’s prophecy relating to His second coming, we can recommend nothing more highly than the pamphlet “An Exposition of Matthew 24.” You will appreciate its simple, thoro, direct manner of explanation. Contains 94 pages, and costs only ten cents, post-paid. This office.
