International Sunday-Rest Federation.

This is the time of great federation movements. And among the federations that are working in these days is the International Federation of the Sunday-Rest Association of America. John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, is president of this federation, and the executive committee of the organization has just held a meeting in Toronto. One of the most important and significant actions taken was the appointment of a committee to call a convention to organize a United States Lord's Day Alliance for the purpose of combining in one all the organizations in the United States that have for their object to promote Sunday rest.
Sunday-law agitation is rising up everywhere. There seems to be a veritable craze taking hold of men to secure and enforce Sunday legislation. Have you studied into the real meaning of it? It is one of the most significant movements of this or any other age. A universal Sunday law stands in the early records of the apostasy that plunged the world into the Dark Ages. A universal Sunday law, according to the prophecy, will mark the climax of the modern apostasies that will make it necessary for Christ to come in person to put an end to all the evil that belongs to the world's course in sin.
God's prophecies point to the facts as they will appear; it is intensely interesting to watch them develop.
