APPEALS FOR MORE
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Prof. Longacre Says America Is
Starting Dangerous
Precedents.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
BALTIMORE, September Our
Puritan forefathers that landed 800
years ago on a stern and rock bound
coast" wanted religious freedom, but
and the blue laws they made now
stand as a mockery of the Constitu-
tion of the United States.
This statement was made by Prof.
:. {. LOngacre of Washington. inter
national secretary of the Religious
Liberty Association, in an address
before the Seventh-day Adventists
camp meeting here this week.
That personal liberty granted un-
der the Constitution of the. United
States is threatened by the proposed
that such laws will, in reality, create
a union of church and state, was
predicted by Prof. Longacre. He
compared the present activities of
an organized minority working for
the passage of Sunday laws to the
work of the prohibitionists' forces,
vOicing Il fear that the majority, be-
lieving in tolerance. will find their
liberty restricted before the purpose
of the religious legislation is real
lied.
"Organized Hobbies for some time
ligious Legislation through the gov
erning bodies of both state and fed
eral governments" he said. Addi-
tional sunday. laws are forced
ecclesiastical machine, which is as
evil and treacherous as the well
known political machine. An exam
pie of this work was the recent stu
alton in New York state, where
twenty-siX Sunday bills, all pressed
by prominent religious workers. were
pending before the state Legislators.
The real purpose of Sunday blue
laws is TO enforce religious observa-
tions desired by certain sects." Prof
Longacre continued, "and is. in effect
only religious persecution in the guise
of civil authority. These laws are in
direct conflict with the principles of
the founders of our government and
with the law of God as given to
Moses at Sinai, to proclaim to all the
land and all the inhabitants thereof -
The guarantee of freedom is the
greatest of the three inalienable
rights of the Constitution, and the
desire for freedom in religious
thought is Godgiven. 1t has enabled
man to cope with tyranny in every
form. 1t comes before all happi-
ness.
Only two states, Prof. Longacre
asserted, have not statutes restrict
ing mans actions on Sunday, these
being California and Oregon. In
some cases these laws have been re-
tanned since the early days of big
otry and persecution, but in many
cases are the effect of recent legis-
tion.
Besides threatening our constitu-
tional liberty, he said, such laws
strike for forcible religious observ-
ance and endanger the existence of
religion itself
