Sunday Law Hearing in Washington
A PUBLIC hearing on the proposed Sunday law for the District of Columbia will be held before the District Commissioners February 8, and representatives of the Religious Liberty Bureau have been promised an opportunity to present a remonstrance against the bill. Petitions against the bill are now being circulated for signatures throughout the District, and an eight-page leaflet dealing with the principles involved in such legislation is being distributed. We learn that both of the Sunday bills now before Congress were prepared by that champion of religious legislation, W. F. Crafts, the secretary of the International Reform Bureau, who will doubtless conduct a vigorous campaign in their behalf.
