THE CITY PASTORS WILL PREACH TOMORROW o.
THE SUBJECT.


The vigor OF the Christian Citizenship Union ana
the pointed charge OF Judge Depue 10 the Grand
Jury have had their effect upon the Newark Police
Board in the matter of enforcing the Sunday laws
The Board has begun TO compel the closing OF the
saloons at midnight Saturday night, and number
of venturesome liquor-sellers who were made bold
by long mpunity have been fined in the police courts
for violating the Boards orders. Not all vioators
have been arrested or warned, but there are
enough 10 make show Of zeal
Meanwhile the saloons have done business usual
on Sunday, and only used little extra precaution
10 avoid observation from the street. The Police
Commissioners believe that il they can procure d
fairly decent outward observance OF the Sunday
laws the public will be content. Much depends,
however. on the action of the Grand jury although
nobody in Newark be made TO believe that the
Commissio ners are in the least danger from that
quarter Tomorrow, in the churches, sermons will
be- preached on the subject. Nearly all the pastors
take the extreme ground for Sunday observance.
but there are a few clergymen who will maintain
that the Sunday question never be settled to the
satisfaction of everybody except its merits, II
