On the Lords Day.

WEST HAVEN, Nov. 3, 1888. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I wish through your columns to utter my protest against the public distribution of campaign documents through the streets on the Lords day. Do we not get politics enough through the week without smiting the cheek of the Christian Sabbath in this way?
 Unless the Christian conscience protests against this Sunday campaigning, how long will it be before we must have Sunday pa- rades and Sunday campaign speechess
 It is truly sublime spectacle, and espe- cially in the eyes of the Old World, when in the midst of great national campaign like this, in obedience to Christian sentiment the Lords day of rest and worship is so gen. erally observed and the jangle of party strife buried beneath psalm and prayer. This is we'll, fer we still claim to be Christian ma tion. For that reason 1 regret the more that any campaign committee should so challenge the Christian conscience of our people to req buke it. as it must. As far as this commu- hity is concerned, I know of only one party that sinned in this way yesterday. It is a bad example that should be frowned upon. I do not believe that votes will be gained in this way, nor on the other hand do I believe that any party that "rested" on the Lords day lost anything. With respect,
 N. J. SQUIREs.
