SUNDAY WORK IN WISCONSIN.

The Christian Statesman says that "Sabbath Committees" have been organized at the following points in Wisconsin: "Appleton, Wausau, Green Bay, Stevens' Point, Tomah, Sparta, La Crosse, Racine, Janesville, Platteville, Beloit, followed by the State convention of the association at Milwaukee. These committees are federations of churches and include members of the W. C. T. U., Y. M. C. A., Y. P. S. C. E., Epworth League, etc., dividing into subcommittees, "the Young People's Societies circulating documents from door to door, the Y. M. C. A. securing voluntary closing agreement among clothing stores, the W. C. T. U., among provision and dry goods stores, while another committee provides half a column of Sabbath Reform matter per week for each local paper that will use it."
It needs only ordinary observation to be able to see that around Sunday these religious societies are mustering their hosts. And yet they know, or should know, for thus reads God's word, that "the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." Let not our readers be deceived. The only true Sabbath reform of this generation is that which is based on the word of God, on the Sabbath of the word of God, on the teachings and example of Christ.
