THERE is a Religious Liberty Bureau in Washington, D. C., composed of earnest, devoted, liberty-loving Christian men, who are devoting their time to educating the nation on the great questions of religious liberty. They publish a live, interesting journal called Liberty.
This year bids fair to give them enough to do. Already three Sunday bills have been introduced into the present session of Congress. A special campaign has been started in Washington by the Protestant ministers and the Roman Catholic clergy to secure a Sunday law for the District of Columbia. The Religious Liberty Bureau is planning a most vigorous counter-campaign to the one referred to above for the purpose of placing literature concerning religious liberty in the homes of the citizens of the capital of the nation.
Apart from the local agitation in Washington there is a widespread agitation for Sunday-law enforcement thruout the country, which demands earnest work on the part of those who love liberty.
The Religious Liberty Bureau is not made up of many men or wealthy men. They need help in the way of funds to scatter literature, in the prayers of Christians.
Any disposed to assist in offerings however small may send them to Mr. K. C. Russell, chairman of the Religious Liberty Bureau, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C., or may send them to the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, and we will forward them to the Bureau. If sent thru us, always designate the purpose of the offering. We hope there will be a generous response and noble work done.
Story of the Seer of Patmos. By S. N. Haskell. The author's latest book is on the thrilling prophecies of the book of Revelation.
