Sunday Laws Religious.7 paragraphs
DR. BONAR has well said that “a false zeal in religion is always, in some respect or other, misdirected zeal, or a zeal not according to knowledge—a zeal seeking some false end, or, while proposing to itself a good end, seeking its promotion in some unauthorized way.” This describes National Reform exactly. “Jehu,” continues the same writer, “had a zeal, which he called zeal for the Lord of Hosts. His fault was, not that he was too zealous, but that his zeal was really directed to his own advancement. The Jews, in the days of Christ, had a zeal for God, but it was so misdirected as to fire them with a frenzy to destroy the Son of God and extinguish the Light of the world. There are countless forms of false zeal now at work; but in all cases they sin not by excess, but by misdirection. Some are planning with zeal to spread some of the corruptions of Christianity, and to carry men away from its great and cardinal truths.”2 paragraphs
ALL that civil law can properly do toward religion and be just, is to respect every form of religion, and favor none; to be neither hostile nor friendly to any, but simply be silent on the subject, as a matter lying outside of its jurisdiction.1 paragraphs
THERE is no parallel whatever between Sunday laws and the laws specifying how many hours shall constitute a day's work. There is not a law in any State which prescribes what particular hours of the day shall constitute a day's work. There is no law that prohibits adult persons from working more hours than are prescribed as a legal day's work. If the legal day's work be eight hours, there is no law which prevents an adult person from working two such days every twenty-four hours, if the proprietor of the work be willing.1 paragraphs

THE February issue of The Quarterly Register of Current History (Detroit, Mich., $1.00 a year), is a model one. Without beating about the bush, it strikes right at the very heart of its subject-matter. From a clear and interesting treatment of international affairs, it proceeds to a series of splendid articles on “Affairs in Europe,” “Affairs in Africa,” “Affairs in Asia,” and, last but not least, “Affairs in America.” Under this last heading is included, the presidential discussion, the proceedings of Congress and the Legislatures, the state of trade, finance, and general politics. An elaborate treatise on the latest developments in Canada is an interesting feature of the number.1 paragraphs

AT first thought it seems strange that people reared in a land of comparative freedom should have no just appreciation of individual liberty; and yet such is certainly the case. The principle is illustrated by the fact, that generally speaking, only those who labor properly appreciate the fruits of toil. The fortune carefully hoarded by the father, by whose industry and self-denial it was accumulated, is frequently squandered by the son, reared in ease and luxury. It is indeed true, as Wendell Phillips has said, “The manna of popular liberty must be gathered each day or it is rotten.”13 paragraphs
THE Catholic Review says: “There is but one United States, and that means there is but one spot on the face of the earth where a man can hold up his head and say, ‘I am allowed to practice the religion I think is the right one.’ Let us pray that this grand religious liberty will last forever.” And that would in effect be to pray that Romanism may never become dominant here.1 paragraphs
