FromThe American Sentinel, Vol. 5, No. 41

REFERRING to the Lutheran declaration that the “underlying principle of the Bennett law is needless interference with parental rights and liberty of conscience,” America says:—

The best refutation of this false charge is to be found in the fact that, although the law has been in force nearly two years, there has not been a single prosecution under its provisions. Indeed, simply because a law is not enforced it is a just and humane law! It must be then that the Tennessee Sunday law was a perfectly righteous statute, till R. M. King was arrested and fined under it, simply to gratify the intolerance of his bigoted neighbors. Strange logic, that!
