Sunday Bill Dead

By Editor

Sunday-bill Dead.—Our correspondent in Washington, Mr. John S. Wightman, writes us under date of February 28 that the chairman of the Senate Committee practically assured him that the House Bill No. 16,483, for Sunday observance in the District of Columbia, was practically defeated in committee; or in other words, would not be taken up and considered, nor reported. If it did come up, there would be a full hearing. Congress adjourned, and the bill was not reported. It is good to know that there is still a love of the principles of religious liberty among rulers and legislators; not that it will always remain, for we are assured that sooner or later these laws will be passed, and religious tyranny will follow.
