As TO Sunday Closing.
Editor Of THE TRIBUNE.
DEAR SIR,--"Look not every man 10 his
own good only, but also TO the good OF
Others" Please permit me TO say TO the
many readers OF THE TRIBUNE regarding
the Sunday closing movement recently
inangurated by the Pastors Union, OF
Scranton, that 1t Is not only to close
"places offensive TO the community on
Sundays" rs one paper reports IL, but its
chief object Is TO help tho many who de-
sire to rest on the Lords day but cannot
without giving up their employment every
day An objection to doing unnecessary
work Sundays by employees would in most
cases probably result in immediate dis
charge. But protest, or request, backed
by the law, from thosands OF Christian
men aud women, in behalf OF those who
need such assistance, will have very
different effect.
Therefore, the writer hopes church
forces and Christian organizations of every
name will 80 combine their great influence
and efforts in favor OF the protection of the
day for worship and rest-for employees ns
well as employers-thatn no one in Scran-
ton nor Dunmore will have cause to cry
out, mo man careth for my soul. -
j. g. BONE.
