Sunday Opening and Religious Rage

By Editor

The New York Observer of December 8 says of Sunday opening: “Infinitely better to accept this closing provision as the decision of the people, than to encounter the indignation which will ensue, and the withdrawal of patronage by a large class of outraged citizens.” It would have been nearer correct if the Observer had said “enraged.” Rage on the part of religionists has always been a prominent characteristic of religious legislation.
