Repeal Pennsylvania’s Sunday Blue Laws

SENATOR HORACE SCHANTZ of Pennsylvania has introduced a bill into the Pennsylvania Legislature to repeal the Sunday blue laws of 1794. The senator has made a personal appeal to the Religious Liberty Association to aid him in securing the passage of his bill. He said the ministers were strongly opposing his bill. The senator and the editor of the Liberty Magazine used to teach public school in the same township, and to carry on spirited debates with each other in the township literary society. The Liberty Magazine has caused the senator to espouse the cause of religious freedom, and to put forth an effort to repeal the drastic blue laws of Pennsylvania.
