Laying Hands on Sabbath-Breakers
In demanding the Sunday closing of the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition, a Methodist minister of that city has declared his credo thus: “I believe I shall see the time when men will use their hands in protecting the Sabbath. We shall live to see the time when we shall lay hands on Sabbath-breakers; and if the State fails [to arrest them], it will be the duty of the Church to lay hands on them.” Yes, there is no room for doubt that this man and multitudes of others will live to see that procedure. And every day that passes witnesses that in many ways these zealots are preparing their hands for that work. And who of those that are not of it, are ready for it?
