"THE SENTINEL LIBRARY."

By Editor

THE three latest additions to this Library are important contributions to religious liberty literature, and should be widely circulated. They are brief, but pointed.

No 38, "Congress and Sunday Legislation," is a comprehensive report, by Col. R. M. Johnson, of Kentucky, in the House of Representatives in March, 1830. Mr. Johnson was chairman of the Committee on Post-offices and Post-roads, to whom had been referred petitions for and against a proposition to close the mail service on Sundays, and his report is a fair but emphatic exposition of the true policy of our government with reference to the subject of religion. Price, 2 cents.

No 39, "God and Cæsar," is a clear expression of Baptist principles in the matter of State interference with the affairs of the church. It shows that those Baptists who are now favoring such interferences by advocating Sunday legislation are materially departing from the ancient landmarks of the denomination. Price, 1 cent.

No. 40, "A Union of Protestants and Catholics," is a striking presentation of the relation of these once antipodal forces. It shows that the movements of certain Protestants to secure religious legislation on the part of the government, and their efforts to enlist Catholic co-operation, tend toward a union of purpose that must eventually obliterate all essential differences. It shows that the result of such legislation in the past, under Catholic influence, is a fair index of like results in the future, from like causes. Price, 1 cent.
