In the Stocks for Conscience' Sake
By Editor
On another page will be found an article on "In the Stocks for Conscience' Sake." The men were sentenced to be placed in the stocks in default of paying the fine. But the stocks will have to be made, we understand, as they have never been used in Australia. Not that there have not been Sunday workers in plenty, but this is not a matter of Sunday work, it is of Sabbath keeping. The Firth brothers are prosecuted because they keep the Sabbath. We will see now if Australia will carry out the wicked law to its logical conclusion. And will it prosecute those who do not "apply themselves" "in the dutyes of piety and true religion publiquely and privately"?
