Not for the Churches

By Editor

MR. TUFTS declares that the Sunday law is “not of the churches, or for the churches.” It oughtn’t to be. Yet somehow it is the religious man that is demanding the law. If a man believes in Sunday as a sacred day, that ought to be sufficient to hold him. We are glad that there are many Christians who, tho they believe they ought to observe the first day, feel that it is abhorrent to ask a law to enforce it. We have heard of one Methodist pastor saying that if such a law as that were demanded he would circulate petitions against it. There are many Christians who may not believe as do we regarding theological questions, but who do stand with us heartily regarding religious liberty. Thank God that this is so. We are glad that there are so many in the great state of California.
