THOSE who are following carefully the reports in the REVIEW concerning the efforts to secure the enactment of Sunday laws in various places will note that such efforts have recently been defeated in Maine, in Oregon, in California, and, in all probability, in the District of Columbia. It is not to be expected, however, that this will prevent further efforts in the same direction. On the contrary, we may expect that a more vigorous campaign than ever will be waged in behalf of such legislation at the next sessions of the various legislative bodies. Those, therefore, who desire to maintain such a measure of religious freedom as is now enjoyed in this country, should in no degree abate their efforts to educate the public mind in the right direction, using every legitimate means to make known the right principles upon the vital question of the right relation between government and religion.
The Temperance "Instructor"
The educational feature of the temperance campaign has proved to be one of the most effective means of furthering the temperance cause. As a part of this educational work, the Temperance number of the Youth's Instructor has been issued, with the hope that the friends of temperance will place it in the hands of the pupils of every public school and reformatory in our land. It would be well also to give every prisoner the opportunity of reading it. If requested to do so, newspaper stands might keep it on sale.
Single copy, 10 cents; 5 copies, 5 cents a copy; 25 copies, 4 cents; 100 copies, 3¾ cents; 500 copies, 3½ cents; 1,000 copies, 3 cents. Address, The Youth's Instructor, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.
