Too Stringent

By W. A. C.

A SISTER in Canada, under date of May 8, referring to the Canadian Rational Sunday League, an organization recently started in that country to oppose the newly passed Canadian Sunday law in its widespread and “tyrannical” operation, as they style it, and the “religious persecution” which they say has, under the workings of the Lord’s Day Alliance, begun under it, writes us as follows:—

“This movement is significant. Some are beginning to see that the new Sunday law is too stringent, and a reaction is taking place. The railroad companies say the law is not practical, and they do not expect to obey it.

“The Canadian Rational Sunday League is fully indorsed by Goldwin Smith, which will give it considerable influence.

“We can see the hand of the Lord at work to bring the Sabbath question to the front in this field. I have not picked up a newspaper lately without finding one or two items about the Sunday law.” W. A. C.
