the Sunday law men for he says:

"What,' said PaIey. Listen.
"The opinion that Chris and his
apostles meant to retain the duties
of the Jewish Sabbath, shifting
only the day from the seventh to
the first, seems to prevail without
sufficient proof nor does any evil
dence remain in scripture that
the first day Of the week was thus

ant is earnest and he is right, but
1t is to be regretted that there is
little chance of the Home Rule
bill passing this session, for when
it comes to the House of Lords it
will be so emasculated as to be
worthless, even if it should pass.

not accept. 1t will go back and
