Sunday Law in Ohio.

By Editor

Just now Ohio is the theater of the deepest Sunday Law excitement, it having measurably abated in California for the present; probably till we draw near the time of election. The prosecutions in Ohio seem to be attended with more success than here. In some places the opposers of the law have made it uncomfortable for the community by a rigid enforcement, for the law of Ohio is more general than that of California. These struggles in various States are but the mutterings of the coming storm which is soon to break over the whole land. The advocates of "the venerable day of the sun" think they are accomplishing great things by these religio-political measures, but the student of prophecy stands forewarned, and is looking forward hopefully, for he knows what the result will surely be. To the workers in the "present truth" we can say, "Lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh."
