The Sunday-Rest Law Campaign

THE eighth of the series of resolutions adopted at the recent annual meeting of the American Sabbath Union, was as follows:—
Resolved, That we observe with pleasure the introduction of the Sunday-Rest law in the Senate of the United States, and that we recommend the widest possible circulation of petitions to both Houses of Congress for its adoption.
They are rather premature in calling the bill which has been introduced a law; but this resolution should serve as a renewed call to action on the part of those who favor religious liberty. It is something more than a coincidence that Senator Blair introduced his Sunday bill December 9, the very day that the American Sabbath Union met in convention. There can be no doubt that the officers of the union had a hand in the preparation of the bill, so that it could not fail to please them.
