Roman Catholics Supporting the Sunday Law.
A Chicago paper of recent date contained the following statement, which in our eyes has more significance than people would perhaps generally be inclined to attach to it:— “The Common Council of this city came to a test vote Monday evening upon the Sunday-liquor-selling question, resulting in a temperance victory. The retention of the present prohibitory ordinance was decided upon by a vote of 20 to 18. It will now be the duty of the municipal authorities to enforce the ordinance ‘in letter and spirit.’ “In this connection we are glad to learn that the Catholic Bishop of Chicago recently gave instructions to all the priests in his jurisdiction to urge their people to co-operate with the public authorities and the friends of law and order for the enforcement of the law against Sabbath desecration, and that all good Catholics are now in full sympathy with the anti-Sunday-liquor-selling movement.”
