Illinois Sabbath Association Meeting
It is announced that the Sabbath (Sunday) Association of Illinois will hold its first annual meeting in the Methodist Church Block, Chicago, Ill., on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 20 and 21, 1888. In connection with this meeting the National Committee of Sabbath (Sunday) Observance will hold its first meeting. Among the speakers expected from abroad are Dr. John Hall, New York; Dr. Crafts, New York; Dr. Knowles, Newark; Col. Elliott F. Shepard, New York; Dr. Dorchester, Boston; Dr. J. M. King, New York; Dr. R. O. Post, Springfield, and others. "All persons interested," says the Union Signal, "in securing a Sabbath of rest for the hundreds now compelled to never-ending toil are urged to attend this meeting." It is understood that a strong and determined effort will be made in Illinois to secure the passage of a stringent Sunday law in that State, at the next session of the Legislature.
