Sunday Law Tract.

By Editor

AFTER some delay another edition of our Sunday Law tract has been printed. It was suggested by the officers of the Publishing Association that the tract be enlarged, and made more fully to set forth our views, especially on the prophecies. But our time being all required on the paper at present, this is impossible just now. The demand for the tract is urgent. The missionary workers give good reports of its reception by the people, and of the influence it is exerting.

The Preface has been altered to suit the present state of the work, and a note added on page thirty-one. All the warrants issued in this city prior to the decision of the Supreme Court, have been withdrawn. Consequently Bro. White is no longer under arrest. But as our interest in this matter is neither personal nor political, but entirely of a religious nature, the fact of his release makes no change in the general issue; it does not effect any principle involved in this controversy. The agitation, as a political question, is on the increase, and will doubtless continue to increase until after the next election.
