Tennessee Sunday Law Immunity Bill Fails

By Editor

By a private letter from Elder E. E. Marvin, of Tennessee, we learn that the effort to secure the passage of a bill granting immunity from the penalties of the Sunday law, to those who conscientiously observe the seventh day of the week, resulted in failure. We are very sorry to be obliged to chronicle this fact. We had strong hopes that Tennessee would follow the example of Arkansas, and put a stop to persecution for conscience' sake. Next week we shall give our readers some of the arguments which were used to defeat the bill; they did not come in time for publication this week.
