To Church Elders and Leaders

By C. S. Longacre

QUITE a number of church elders have made inquiry as to whether any religious liberty program has been prepared for Religious Liberty Day, which will be Sabbath, February 28. A special program has been printed in the second number of the Church Officers' Gazette. The Gazette has been sent to the address of every church elder and leader of the Missionary Volunteer and home missionary societies as far as known to us. If you do not have it, secure a copy from some of the other officers of the church. This interesting program should be carried out without fail, and a liberal offering should be encouraged. The needs of the religious liberty work are most urgent. The purpose of the offering should be plainly designated when sent to the treasurer of the conference, as the local, union, and North American Division conferences each receives one third of the offering to carry forward this important branch in its field.

A Congressman has just written me: "I will do all in my power to prevent the establishment of any law calculated to affect in the slightest degree the inalienable right of all men to worship God as they see fit." Will you do all in your power? Will not each reader try to give at least one dollar to this noble work?
