Sunday Labor and Irritated Neighbors

By Editor

The Methodist Protestant, quoted in another column, speaks of "ignorant fanatics" "who work on Sunday with a boldness and ostentation that is irritating to their neighbors." It would appear that these neighbors were easily "irritated." The only witness against Mr. Marvel, one of the "ignorant fanatics" imprisoned for Sunday labor in Maryland, was his son, who went purposely to catch his father, and prosecute him for the heinous crime of setting out tomato plants in his garden.
