Sunday Laws and Religious Persecution

By Editor

THE Christian Commonwealth, of London, says: "There is a real reaction in some places against the continental Sunday. Sunday rest on the English system is warmly advocated in Russia." We call to mind the fining of two bakers five shillings each for selling a loaf of bread to a family in need, not long since. A million worse things are done every day throughout Britain without rebuke. It would be just like Russia to adopt such laws as exist in England; and it would make them most effectual. Sunday laws will come, and religious persecution will inevitably follow everywhere.
