Massachusetts Fast Day No More.

lhaSNdCnuScttS D aSJ bHN NO Moro
There has been a disposition in some parts
of New England to look upon the abOlishing
of Fast day in Massachusetts by the State
Legislature as an indication that the people
of tho Bay State We're becoming rcg-
iously degenerate. The Boston Advertiser
has risen to the occasion, however, and made
an explanation of the nature Of this action
as well as of the motives which inspired it.
The Advertiser asserts that it was the rep
resentatves OF the churches who took the
initiative in the matter and it summarizes
the matter as follows:
"There are, briefly stated three reasons
which convince the great body OF earnest
Christians that a legally recognized Fast
day is not desirable. First, because very
large section Of the religious community OBJ
serves Good Friday as a day answering to
the spiritual intent of Fast day Second,
because fasting itself, i. e, abstinence
from food as devotional exercise long
ago ceased to be regarded by a large
portion of Christian denominations as either
u duty or privilege. Third, and most es-
peCnlly, because there was felt to be some
thing almost profane in the annual appoint
ment by solemn public and official proclama-
ton OF day oil lasting, Illumination and
PRAYER, which day, as a matter of fact, was
chiefly observed as an occasion for sports
and other elnployments totally Invested Of
all religious character"
This undoubtedly explains the action of
the Legislature of Massachusetts in embody-
ing i'll the measure of adjustment of Fast
day provision for t4e establishment of Il
legal holiday on April 10, the anniversary Of
the battle of Lexington. The bill has
been signed by the governor and i'll place of
Fast day the people of the Bay State will
now have holiday which is intended Incl
1entallv to mark one Of the historic dates
of the Revolution, but which is confessedlv
to servo as the opening day of the season S
sports.
The only comment which we desire to
make on this change is that while people as
a rule do not have too many holidays they
are not at all likely to have too much
| Christianity The adjustment of Fast dav
! in Massachusetts will not tend to increase
among the people of the old Bay State the
spirit of religious reverence, which has been
one of the sources and mainstays of the
! typical and true New England character

during the session. He has, moreover, been
thoroughly alive to the interests of his con
stitueucy az well as those of the State and
country.
1t is a forgone conclusion that the next
Congress will be us strongly republican as
the Fifty third has been democratic, and it
will be gratifying to all Verinonters to have
in the House two such strong men of broad
and thorough experience and established
reputation as Congressman Powers and
Circuit. AT such a time in the history of the
country and party these gentlemen would be
in position to do much better service for
the State and nation than could new men of
equal ability with themselves, and it is n
pleasure to note that no other name has
been mentioned rs successor of either of our
present congressman With the rousing
| maiorities with which both of Vermont S
representatives in the House ore certain to
be reelected, they will return to Washington
able aud ready to assume with credit to
themselves and to their State the prominent
positions in our national councils to which
they will surely be called.
