The following item from the Atlantic Union Gleaner shows how active in some parts of the country are the forces which are behind the movement for Sunday legislation. That movement is not dying out by any means:—

In two months, ending September 30, no less than two hundred and sixty-four arrests for Sunday-law violations were made in seven counties in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference, an average of more than four arrests a day. Three of the number arrested were Seventh-day Adventists. The counties in which arrests occurred are Bradford, Dauphin, Delaware, Lackawanna, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Snyder. Lackawanna County alone reported two hundred and twenty-nine arrests.
