lines. but which would effectively CO.
operate with the efforts made upon the
grounds of sacredness to impress forcloly

There are many evidences Just now of
an awakening In the matter of Sunday
observance, and awakening. too, which
isn't confined to one part of the country
but Is seen in those places where the wide
open Sunday "liberality" has been fully
tried and found wanting. In view of this
the report of the Congregational council
at Syracuse upon the matter of Sabbath
observance is of more than ordinary in
terest. The council recognized the many
obstacles with which such observance has
to contend, and among those enumerated
were: The money making and pleasure
seeking spirit of the age; the hindrance
occasioned by the faction which insists
that Christianity observes the wrong day
In the week the sentiment which would
do away with the distinction between
things secular and things sacred; and
perhaps the greatest obstacle of all, the
diversity of views and practise among
Christian people. In relation to this last
and greatest obstacle of all the committee
reported among other suggestions, these:
Let it be known, e. g., how much valid
ity there is in the argument against using
street cars because the employees are kept
from the enjoyment of Sunday rest and
privileges. Let us find out whether
observance requires that hotel guests
should be kept on cold victuals, that the
cooks may have Sunday Of rest and wor-
ship; whether the police should be tax, n
OIL the streets. and sent to church on
Sunday, leaving the public the prey of
evil doors; or whether ON the other hand
the universal law OF Nervousness does
not obtain here, that some must suffer In
order that the greatest good may come to
the greatest number The delicate dis
ttnctions which obvious ly must be drawn
are almost appalling but in no degree
lessen tho necessity for uniform effort.
The suggestions of this committee are 90

appears to be the debauchery which
has undermined the whole political struct-
ure, as instanccd in the recent SNUG
Cling revelations. Possibly the recent
unfavorable circumstances, which have
served to show the people of that state
the fruits Of political corruption carried
to It's legitimate end, will be beneficial.
1t certainly ought to serve as warning
to the next generation of voters and a
demonstration that politics without honor
If allowed to control Is as sure to bring
ruin to the politicians as to the country.
