sTATUTE.ARMoREp SUNDAYS.

In very few states would It now be
possible to %re.enact the ancient Sun
day laws, says the New York World.
In most of the states a revision OF
these laws would surely result in their
modification. A sure way to bring
about an ~overhaullng OF these drastic
codes would appear to be q harsh en-
forcement Of them against a society
for which they never were intended.
Strange as II may appear, religious
freedom is one of the most loosely
held Of all our rights and privileges.
There is nothing in the constitution OF
the United States on the subject ex-
cept the provision that Congress
shall make no law respecting an es.
tablishment of religion or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof" There Is
no restriction upon the states in this
respect. Not many of the state con.
situations have any comprehensive
clause relating to religious liberty.
For this reason Sunday laws ~palpably
religious in their nature have been
passed and judicially sustained in
most Of the states, New York among
the number, on the avowed theory
that we are a religious people and
that justification for such acts may be
found In the higher law.
