More Arrests For Sunday Work.

fuollSned by request.
Word has just been received at the central Office
OF the National Religious Liberty association in
Battle Creek Michigan, of the arrest of two Of its
members in Fayette, Mo-, for doing their farm work
on Sunday. The arrested men are also members of
the Seventh Day Adventist church, which holds
that Saturday, or the seventh day. is the Sabbath,
instead # Sunday, the first day of the week.
Under the law of Missouri. these men could follow
their common occupation on Sunday, at will, since
that law provides that all persons who members
OF religious society which observes another day
than the first day of the week the Sabbath shall
be exempt from the penalties provided for Sunday
breaking, provided .such Persons actually observe
the Sabbath of their choice. In the face of this
fact, however, warrants have been taken out for
their arrest and, while they have violated stat
ute of their state they subject to considerable
annoyance in consequence.
1t seems strange that some people prone to
laps into the darkness of the ages Of intolerance. It
may yet be necessary to re-evangeze parts Of
the United States, in order TO bring about a reign
of religion that will not sesk control the liberties
OF conscience that belong equally each member OF
the commonwealth.
