ders ibe soul. It is the sun of
villainies, the father of all crimes,
the mother of all abomination, the
devil’s best friend and God’s worst
enemy.”
Now if there is anything else
that can be said as an arraignment
of this master destroyer, that you
can think of that has been over
looked by Mr. Ingersol, you can
just add it to the denunciation,
tor you will not be wrong in the
addition. And yet we can find
men, who, in the presence of de
cency, will step over on the side
of this demon of vengeance and
horror. Is there one thing in the
above scathing article that is not
true of this debaucher of man
kind? We will answer, No!

Against Sunday Labor.
The State of Wisconsin has come
to the help of labor this last, year
by enacting a law that the stores
which sell dry goods, clothing,;
furniture, jewelry, tea, coffee and
spices,crockery or hard ware, are nut
entitled to keep open on Sunday on
the plea of necessity or charity.
They must therefore obey the stat
ute, and close on Sunday. Hawaii
has struck out barber shops from
the list of those that may remain
open seven days in a week, Con
gress has passed an act requiring
that all city letter carriers, wno
work at all on Sunday, shall have
an equal time otl on some work day
of the succeeding week; while the
Connecticut legislature has enact
ed a similar law that workmen
employed on Sunday shall have
one full day off in the next six.
Sunday labor is not worthy of
American civilization. Our land
was founded by men of faith; it
owes its greatness to the Christian
character of its early citizens. The
war of the church against Sunday
labor is due to greed and to
thoughtlessness, joined in unpatri
otic and irreligious alliance. Man
needs one day’s rest in seven. To
rob the laborer of his day of rest
is not only against the law of God
but against even the far lower law
of efficiency.
Sunday’s rest is necessary to the
week’s work. Even on this mate
rial ground, the Sabbath is vital to
national prosperity. But Sunday is
also a spiritual breathing space, a
recurring call to what is noblest in
man, a weaker link uniting man
with Inf Maker. The nation that
does not guard Sunday makes a
perilous mistake; and it is pleasant
to see that American public opin
ion is more and more reaffirming
the Fourth Commandment—Ex
change.^_
