Justice Prevails Over Religious Intolerance

JUSTICE has prevailed over religious intolerance in the case of Brother H. Syar, of Wilburton, I. T., whose arrest for not keeping Sunday was mentioned in the REVIEW of June 30. Word from Brother J. J. Jobe, who reported the arrest, says:—

Brother H. Syar was cleared on the last charge for Sunday work. Messrs. Gordan and Young, attorneys for the defendant, nobly championed the case, not for a fee, but from the standpoint of justice.

Sunday legislation always interferes with the right to work, which is no less sacred a right than the right to rest. A just law will protect a person in the enjoyment of both these rights.
