Pennsylvania Sunday Observance Laws
By Editor
THE Warren County (Pa.) Sunday Observance Convention, composed of D.D.'s, honorables and reverends, declare in the third plank in their platform "that the laws in the State of Pennsylvania are ample to cover all requirements concerning the sacredness of the Sabbath day, and we earnestly require the enforcement of these laws in all the boroughs within the county." The Lord demands, "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." Its sacredness is met only in observing this command. He who does not keep the Sabbath holy does not observe it at all in the sense of the commandment. But the Pennsylvania laws are "ample to cover" that "requirement," we are told. God has commanded it and men do not obey; now Pennsylvania takes God's place, with laws "ample to cover" all needs, and these men require the enforcement of these laws. What presumption! Is it ignorance or madness?
