Adventists Imprisoned for Keeping Sabbath
By Editor
WE learn from the Review and Herald that the Supreme Court of Arkansas, and also that of Tennessee, has sustained the decision of the lower courts, against the Seventh-day Adventists who were tried for not observing Sunday religiously. The particulars of the Arkansas cases have not yet been learned; but there are three in Tennessee, who are each sentenced to a fine of $20 and costs, or to an imprisonment of one day for each 25 cents. As the brethren will not voluntarily aid an iniquitous cause, they will be compelled to lie in jail nearly three months for not keeping Sunday. In other words, they are punished for keeping the commandment of the Lord. And this is "Christian" America! But the end is not yet.
