A Wrong Principle.

Religious legislation is to be invariably condemned in the nature of the case. The principle is always wrong; and an evil tree can not bring forth good fruit. In the words of Madison, the fathers of the republic “saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle.” Would God that the Legislature of California might see the evil principle in proposed Sunday legislation, and “avoid its consequences by denying the principle.”
