FOR IMMEDIATE CIRCULATION.

"SUNDAY CLOSING OF THE MIDWINTER EXPOSITION" is the title of Sentinel Library No. 56. This tract has been called out by the assumption of the Christian Endeavor Societies and leading ministers in the matter of pressing the closing on Sunday of the Midwinter Fair in San Francisco. It is based on the fact that if the Exposition be opened on Sunday, no law, State, Federal, or Divine, will be violated. Furthermore it goes to show that the movement for Sunday closing has in view the further purpose of a precedent for a State Sunday law. This important matter should have an immediate and wide circulation on the Pacific coast, especially in California. It contains 8 pages, price, $1.00 per 100; $8.00 per 1,000. Address California Tract Society, 1059 Castro Street, Oakland, Cal.
"THE MIDWINTER FAIR—PETITIONS FOR SUNDAY CLOSING," is the title of a four-page leaflet issued as Sentinel Library No. 57. The matter is a reprint of an article in the San Francisco Examiner of October 14, 1893, and bears on the general principle of petitions, with special reference to the resolutions of San Francisco ministers to circulate petitions throughout the coast in behalf of the Sunday closing of the San Francisco Fair. It shows that such a petition cannot be to secure anyone's rights, as no one's rights are in jeopardy, and that it is an unwarranted assumption to petition for the deprivation of another person of his rights. It also shows that "the Sunday-closing petitioner now enjoys, and will enjoy with Sunday opening, all the rights and privileges which others enjoy." Price of this leaflet, 50 cents per 100; $4.00 per 1,000. Address California Tract Society, 1059 Castro Street, Oakland, Cal. Let it go broadcast throughout the coast.
