Federal District Court Passes on Oregon Sunday Law
By Editor
AS has been noted in recent issues of this paper, several test cases have been before the courts in Oregon for the purpose of declaring unconstitutional the Sunday law of 1864, which for years had been regarded as obsolete. But Judge Charles E. Wolverton has upheld the constitutionality of this law. This is another one of the accumulating court decisions that regard the observance of Sunday as a proper subject for legislation. The readers of this paper well know we have taken the position, for more than forty years, that a universal Sunday law will yet require all people to observe that day under the severest penalty. The death sentence itself, according to the prophecy of the Bible, will finally be pronounced upon those who refuse to bow to this Sunday institution, which has no foundation whatever in the word of God. All who believe in the Bible as the one and sufficient source of guidance in religious matters, will do well to watch carefully the developments in the field of Sunday law activity. Elder H. W. Cottrell, who is on the ground, will present us a review, in the near future, of this federal decision, and what it signifies.
