A question of national importance. The Constitution provides protection against the encroachment of religious power upon the civil government as a safeguard to liberty. This protection remains intact only as long as the basic truth is recognized that no man can allow any legislation favoring his own religious beliefs. Violating this principle will result in the loss of his own religious freedom. The subjects in this book should never become secondary in the mind of any American citizen: The principles of the American Constitution. The proper relationship between religion and the State. The distinction between moral and civil law. The inalienable civil and religious rights of men. This book is a report of an argument made concerning the national Sunday bill that was introduced by Senator Blair in the fiftieth Congress. Alonzo T Jones (1850-1923) heard the Adventist message while serving in the United States Army in the State of Washington. He began at once to study history as it related to prophecy, a theme of much of his writing of articles and books. This study also prepared him for his activity on the subject of religious liberty. He participated in the hearings of the Blair Sunday bill in 1889 and became editor of "The American Sentinel." Elder Jones was a powerful speaker and one of the strong voices in the revival of 1888 within the Adventist denomination. For a short time he was a Bible teacher at Healdsburg College. From 1897-1901 he was the editor of the Review and Herald, and he served on the staff of the Signs of the Times. Author of The Empires of the Bible, The Consecrated Way to Christian Perfection, The Great Empires of Prophecy, The Two Republics, and The Third Angel's Message. Used Book in Good Condition
