Reports directly linking the repeal of the Prohibition
Amendment of the United States Constitution with the passage of a national Sunday
law are without foundation. These must be associated with a general statement
in Prophets and Kings, page 186, which points out the "daring impiety"
of legislators anywhere and at any time who would enact "laws to safeguard
the supposed sanctity of the first day of the week" but who "at the
same time are making laws legalizing the liquor traffic."
Thought for the Day
The Saviour is still carrying forward the same work as when He proffered the water of life to the woman of Samaria. Those who call themselves His followers may despise and shun the outcast ones; but no circumstance of birth or nationality, no condition of life, can turn away His love from the children of men. To every soul, however sinful, Jesus says, If thou hadst asked of Me, I would have given thee living water. Desire of Ages, p. 194
