Fresno Meeting Opposes Sunday Law

By Editor

The Examiner of the 23d ultimo has the following item:—

"Fresno, August 21.—A rousing meeting was held in front of the Grand Central Hotel to-night by the Seventh-day Adventists and others opposed to the passage by Congress of the proposed Sunday law. Ex-Judge Firman Church presided, and Alonzo T. Jones was the principal speaker. The law will partly exempt the Adventists and the Jews from its provisions, but the Adventists oppose it because they believe it to be a step towards the union of Church and State, to which they are opposed. Great enthusiasm prevailed."
