Who Shall Execute the Lawi


men to execute righteousness and secure
obedience TO wholesome law Especially is
this true in respect TO laws that protect our
persons and property from the waste and
violence caused by the illegal sale of intoxi-
eating drinks. Accordingly combinations
of orderly and Christian men are springing
up to execute the law against offenders OF
this class. In Philadelphia lately move
ment has been made for this specific pur.
pose. A committee has been formed for
the enforcement of the Sunday law"
led by one of the most prominent, active
Christian citizens in the city or State. Mr..
George ii. Stuart is its chairman. This
committee has induced the mayor of the city
to instruct the police to report all taverns
and saloons who do business on Sunday "
violation of the law of the State, that they
may be prosecuted for their offences. On q
late Sabbath it was reported that only two
hundred and seventy-three grog-shops were
opened in Philadelphia. Probably there are
fully three thousand in the city. This is
great success for an effort yet in its incipien-
cy, and If the support of the good citizens OF
P'', ."" 'o WIN 'o' Wv -,
1t is believed that great public benefit will
be attained. The Park Commissioners have
aided the committee by forbidding liquors
to be sold within the limits of the park.
