How They Promote.

By Editor

It has been stated by an ardent Sunday-law advocate that "Christian morality and the Christian religion tend powerfully to promote the best interests of the State;" but they do this only when separate and severed from State influences and statute law. The religious, separate, indirect, every-day influences of the true Christian are potent to uplift and transform. He is backed in this by Infinite Power. But his political influence is no greater, he can poll no more votes, than his unchristian neighbor. But if all were nominally Christian, neither man nor State can be voted Christian. California without a Sunday law is just as good as the other States which have the strictest laws of that character. California has God's law, and her men are free to obey if they desire. What Christian could ask more?
