Christian Unity and Sunday Laws
By Editor
THE following is from the New York Independent:— "As a striking illustration of the growing unity and harmony among all Christian denominations, we give the following facts: At the State Convention of the 'Christian' or 'Disciples' Church, held lately at Marshall, Mo., the delegates were entertained, voluntarily, on the first day by the Presbyterians of the place, on the second day by the Baptists, on the third day the Methodists and Episcopalians joined as entertainers. This left but one day for the visitors to look to their own denomination for entertainment; and, as a climax to this show of brotherly love, the Catholics assisted as hosts on the final day, although they were few in numbers and comparatively poor in purse." And when, by the work of the National Reform party, Sunday shall have been so lifted into politics as to demand the support of all, then we shall see perfected the "unity and harmony" of all denominations, in the establishment of Sunday by law and in the vigorous enforcement of the law. Such Christian unity is indeed a great and growing thing.
