Sunday Laws.

By P. STRONG

The people of Cincinnati, Ohio, are not willing to bear the yoke the fathers have imposed on them. I clip the following from the Toledo Blade of July 13, 1871:

“There are unmistakable signs at Cincinnati, that the repeal of the Sunday laws will be made the issue in future elections. The Germans are becoming much agitated on the subject. On Saturday night there was a meeting of the largest and most influential German societies, who determined to hold a meeting next Sunday, composed of representatives of all societies, regardless of nationality, who are favorable to a change in city ordinances.”

This is but one city among the many that are speaking their minds on the Sunday laws. But there will be two parties, and as it is intimated, when brought into a party platform, and made a political issue, there will be close, warm work. But judging from the past, it is easy for those who have received light on God’s law as it stands in connection with the last warning message, to determine on which side the controversy will close. The Sunday must be sustained, and the decree passed. P. STRONG.
