The Sunday Law.

By Editor

THE day set for rendering a decision by the Supreme Court of California on the constitutionality of the Sunday Law has already passed, but up to the time of our making up this paper we hear nothing of it. We are not alone in looking with interest for this decision; but our anxiety in regard to it is not so great as that of many others, especially of those having cases under it now pending. Whichever way this decision is rendered it will settle nothing permanently. There is a beyond to this question, and upon that our chief interest centers.

An effort was recently made to have warrants issued against Leland Stanford and Charles Crocker, "railroad kings" of San Francisco; but the officials decided that they were not under this law. Nothing but a "Religious Amendment of the Constitution" of the United States will meet such cases, and so is increased the demand for "an image to the beast." Rev. 13:11-17, 14:9-12.

WE learn from Brother Israel that some of our ministers in the State are meeting with good success; this makes us glad. Now if they would only report the progress, through the SIGNS, there are many others who would be glad.
