Closing the Post Office on Sunday

The Tribune of this city says that "the local union of Christian Endeavor Societies has taken up the movement which is becoming general in regard to the closing of the post-office on Sunday. The pastors will be requested to preach on the subject December 12, when the Endeavorers will also take it up. January 2 it will again be the subject in local pulpits, and a petition will be circulated to be signed by those who are in favor of the movement. The petitions to have the office closed on Sunday will then be forwarded to Washington, D. C. Mass-meetings will also be held to advance the cause."
