California Conference and Sunday Work

THE following telegram dated December 5, was received just at the last moment, as we were closing up this paper:—
"Voted, to-day, that next General Conference be held in California." Signed, "E. J. WAGGONER."
We are sure that the matter will be fully appreciated by all our people on this coast.
THE Supreme Court of Massachusetts has decided that the keeping open of a barber shop on Sunday is a criminal offense. The case was prosecuted by the Knights of Labor, who, says the Congregationalist, "desire to put an end to Sunday work." It will not take long to swing the whole so-called labor movement into the zealous support of the Sunday institution. To those who understand the times, all these things are of the most striking interest.
