On This Line.

SHALL the Sabbath be desecrated in the management of the Centennial Exposition next year? Shall the display go on without regard to the Sabbath? We have scarcely regarded it possible that so gross an offense to the American people is seriously contemplated. If it is, and the earnest protests which are rising on all sides are disregarded, then we say, Let a National Sabbath League be organized, and a straight battle be fought on that issue in Philadelphia next year. Let us test the question whether or not the laws of the State of Pennsylvania can be trampled upon with impunity in the face of an on-looking world. The friends of our free institutions cannot afford to stand by and see our nation disgraced in that manner, and more, they will not. There will be no lack of money to support a defense of the right, by resort to every means of legal redress that the law and the courts afford. One of the chief things that good citizens mean shall be on exhibition in Philadelphia is a well-observed Christian Sabbath.—Interior.
