THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH.
The Sunday Question Before the
Episcopal Church Congress.


ST. PAUL, Oct 1.-THE Episcopal
Church Congress was to-day largely given
over to the discussion Of the Sunday ques-
tion. The opening address was by Very
Rev Campbell Fair, Of Omaha. He ex-
tolled the sacredness Of the Sabbath and
the strict obligation to keep it holy. The
most notable address OF the day was that
OF Rev. Henry Tattock, of Ann Arbor,
Mich, who said:
1T is patent TO all that within the last
half century our American Sunday has
generally been losing its character, and
there is little doubt that If the forces now
undermining and assaulting it are allowed
TO maintain their operations without re-
sistaace in another half century it will
be transformed into a continental Sunday.
The Sunday problem is largely the work
ingman's problem, and II we are to have
a real Sunday in this country we must
take up the workingman-s cause and save
him from the influences which are con-
yerting him into a mere machine for the
production CT wealth and the purYeyance
CT pleasure. Those who are conyersant
with the cCaditiCn Of wage earners in this
country demand fer thousands of these
tcilers shorter hours Of labor, and they
ask for all the Saturday half holidays"
Other speakers were the Rev Ernest NJ
Stires, OF Chicago; the Rev Beverly Z.
Warner, of New Orleans, and the Rev
Frederick Palmer, of Andover, Mass
At the evening session the discussion
was on the topic, THE Bearing of the
Newspaper on Intellectual and Moral
Life" The chief speakers were the Rev.
Cameron Mann. Of Kansas City; Rev
Alexander Maekay- Smith, of Washington.
and ha
York.
The Rev. Alexander Mackay- Smith in
his paper said in part: The average
American newspaper, whatever may be its
qualities, is probably OF as high a type as
its readers either desire or deserve. 1t is
an old question of debate whether the
newspaper should lead or follow the people
Our newspapers are what they are simply
because the most OF them, with here and
there an exception. have elected long since

paper reader the desire for virtue is real,
but with large dash OF shallow senti-
ment. Conviction is weak, human nature
is strong. To him comes the daily paper
with its detail of crime, its leyity of tone,
its four columns 10 a murder and its four
lines 10 a philanthropist. Such things fill
bis mind with shadowy pictures which
make him question the desirability of good

English and Continental press are distinct
