The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1895-10-31

name Of his wife, aud who is one Of the
prime movers in the Sunday closing cru
SADIE, called at The HERALD Office this
week and expressed exception to the
statement of THE HERALD that he opened
his store few Sundays ago for the pur-
pose OF traffic. He denies that he keeps
his place OF business open on Sunday !;
(which TIE HERALD never asserted but
acknowledges that some time ago he did
sell some whips on Sunday, and that a
few Sundays ago he opened his store and
delivered some groceries to customer,
who otherwise would have had to make
sorry meal on the Sabbath day but
that he accepted no money at that time
on said purchase. Ii makes no differ
ence as to this. The law is not so elastic
~ to consider the side issues by which
violator squares his conscience. Mr..
Harris when he sold the whips and Mr..
Harris when he delivered groceries from
his store was as much violator OF the
law and erred as greatly from moral o
religious standpoint as have any of the
defendants whose cases are now before
the court. If they are guilty of a legal
violation Mr.. Harris is equally guilty; and
II it is a wrong before the Most High to
transact business on the day which the
law says is commonly called Sunday"
he is the greatest culprit of all-for he
breaches what he fails to practice and
covers under hypocritical mantle what
be outwardly processes is wrong.
