BREAKING OF SABBATH.
| In the opening of the Horse Show yes
terday with luncheon, the Rev Dr.
| Charles H. Eaton, pastor of the Church OF
the Divine Paternity, Central Park West
and Seyenty-s.xth Street, found an indica-
| ton of the iack OF Sabbath observance oy-
the leisure class. HIS sermon was en-
titled The Responsibility of Persons of
| Wealth for Sunday Observance" AS he
developed his theme ne asSniled many
faults and omissions which he tfIarged
against society. The Sunday ''at home"
the Sunday games of golf and Sunday en-
| tertainments all received their share OF
adverse criticism. The Rev. DR.. Eaton
took his text from St Mark, IL, 21-"rhe
Sabbath was rnade for man. and not man
for the Sabbath.
In his introduction the minister sid
that he was not Il strict Sab5atar!an- He
did not wish TO persuade any one to go TO
churtf2 If he thought that ne could serve
Cod as well by going into the woods and
fields and seeking recreation. II men cou!a
find God IN that way, well and good, out
they must find God. He referred 20 the
story of Christ and his disciples p,uckins
the corn on the Sabbath day In defiance
of the laws Of the Phar.sees.
..Chrtst's position, in word. sad ne,
sis that the supreme object of life is 10
make manhood and womanhood.
..Whntever stands in tfle way OF the de-
yeiopment of man must be done AMY

tons of religion and ctsurenes are Ios
