Excerpt from Addresses on the Civil Sabbath, From a Patriotic and Humanitarian Standpoint: With Appendix Containing Sabbath Laws of All the States, Judicial Decision, Replies to Seventh-Day Adventists, Etc The longer documents are not essays, but addresses for the people - and in part by the people, as will be seen. I have not thought best to erase from the reports the expressions of public sentiment, which are an important factor in the solution of Sabbath problems. W. J. C. Berry, Librarian of the New York Association of the Bar, has aided in editing for these documents what we believe to be the first complete collection of the Sabbath laws of the United States and the important Court decisions upon them, giving text Of each law, and decisions in form for legal use, all brought down to date. I have added some suggestions of amendments and other notes. Such a collection is greatly needed, not by lawyers alone, but also by ministers and other friends of the Sabbath, who can seldom tell exactly What their Sabbath law forbids and what it permits.
