A large audience was present at the Con-
gregauonal church last Sunday evening
when Miss Frances Dyer of Boston gave her
lecture on the Extinction of Sunday +"

published The great dry goods stores Of
Boston expend thousands of dollars every
Sunday for their advertisements, and but
for their patronage the Sunday newspaper
would cease to exist. 1t is said the ladies'
IN the city read up on all the bargains add
vertlsed Sunday, and the stores are crow ed
Monday. OF course great many ladies do
not read the papers, but they read the week
day issues and the stores who are the most
guilty get about all the trade from city, town
and hamlet, and a suburban dry goods
store in twenty five years from now will
be conspicuous by its absence In worldly
point Of view it would seem better for all
tradesmen to.advertise in the Sunday paper
