Religion and Human Legislation

RELIGION from its very nature is a purely personal and individual concern, and can never justly be made the subject of human legislation in any manner. Neither the observance nor the non-observance of any day can, in itself, be considered either right or wrong. It is a matter wholly within the domain of religion and individual conscience—a domain into which religious zealots have never yet forced the arm of civil government save with disastrous effects on the liberties and natural rights of men—Judge H. C. Minter, in St. Louis Republic.
