Sunday-Closing Crusade in Torrington, Conn
By W. R. Andrews
ANOTHER local Sunday-closing crusade has developed in Torrington, Conn., where Brother H. L. Shoup is at present laboring. Elder Westworth and the writer are to conduct a rally in the opera-house there next Sunday evening. The situation is getting intensely interesting. The ministers of Torrington have been to the editors of the local papers, and influenced them not to print any announcements of our meeting. This develops a new phase in the restriction of religious liberty in this State. The agitation is increasing all over this commonwealth. It is an item of daily publication in the papers. Hartford, through its ministerial association, has begun a campaign in this city. We must, as a people, face this issue in this State as we have never done before. It is our desire to circulate religious liberty tracts and publications by the thousand. Brethren and sisters, we must do this. Such an opportunity has never come to us before for presenting the great principles of this message.—Let us one and all fall into line, and push the principles of religious freedom with vigor.—W. R. Andrews, in Atlantic Union Gleaner.
