LAW CANNOT COMPEL CONSCIENCE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your cartoon of the 5th inst, with humor-
GUS comment on the subject Of Sunday recreatons
meets the question at issue squarely and fairly.
That question seems 10 be, Are the true interests
Of religion and the church to be promoted by
seeking 10 compel men, with the aid of a secular
law, TO observe a rule of conduct held by some
religious men and denied by many others?
The question answers itself and provokes
smile It is certainly a subject for kindly humor
that few very good and very earnest men have
failed 70 learn from the history OF religion that
the conscience Of man has never been convinced
by force of law.
When the world At large comes 10 believe that a
recreation pursued in quiet and without disturb
ing others IS in itself morally wrong. then the day
will be observed voluntarily it is now sought
10 have II observed through the Intervention Of
warrant q constable and police court, and not
until then.
Intolerance is a very serious matter for the in
tolerant but il seems funny TO the other fellow,
and If The Tribune can by any possibility convince
these worthy that they are simply making
themselves ridiculous, and the cause they would
serve unatractive to those without the fold great
good may follow
snort and fought the fight for wholesome hVlrS
and never more effectively than when II protests
in the name of common sense against the use OF
law as club to conviction of religious truth
let TIE good work on. IRA 'i DARRiN.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: friend OF mine and his wife arrived from
Europe yesterday on the Deutschland and were
the dock about five hours before they could get
away. and it is safe 10 say that equal annoyance
could not be experienced in any civilized port un-
der the shining sumo. not even in China l have
no grievances myself. but this nonsense has been
going long and has become scandalous
that l think it might be wholesome for Republi-
journals to poke little editorial fun the
authors. Your funny man recently said very
bright things about needed reorganization of the
Weather Bureau. and might do justice the topic

American, and mortifes him after his foreign ex-

FAvoRs INNOCENT SUNDAY RECREATION.

FAVORS INNOCENT SUNDAY RECREATION.
To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: On Wednesday YOU published a cartoon
which seems TO have elected considerable COM
ment. l do not look it attempt TO make
little of the proper observanceS of Sunday, but
rather illustration representing the senti-
ments of a large majority of the people who in one
way or another make use Of Sunday for innocent
recreation. There is cOncealng the fact
that the majority do amuse themselves ana
there is Justification in effort 10 prevent
them from doing Even in this city or many
churches the tolerant spirit has become noticeable
and 1t is doing harm to our citizens. l ire
quently pass the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Building here Sunday and they have young
men posted outside zealously inviting strangers TO
come in. These strangers usually trolley riders
strollers taking in the fresh air, and sometimes
the invitations just little beyond the limits
of courtesy In other words, 1t is an inference that
those who give them somewhat better than
those whom they are inviting.
l see nothing that is Objectionable in innocent
recreation any time, and any one who Is coerced
into keeping his head within doors on Sunday Is
under a restraint that in some way or another
will crop out with bad effect. The healthy express
sion Of the sentiments Of people either by editorial
or cartoon, is evidence that your paper rightly
anticipates existing conditions. and puere sup
preston of them IS only another form Of hypoc-
risy MODERATION.

EFFECTIVE PREACHING THE REMEDY.


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring 10 ''Weseyites" reasons as to in
difference TO churchgoing in The Tribune of the
9Th inst the remedy 10 be in the conduct Of
church services and Christians. To-day so widely
Is knowledge disseminated by the public press and
rnagazines that unless the services Of the church
either add 10 or emphasize the hearers stock al
ready obtained elsewhere, there is nothing bene-
fcial in the words of the preacher.
Preachers who teachers OF the truth also
bring forth things new and old from the treasury
of the Lord to the edihcation Of the listener, and
do not lack for a congregation. ThrashnS over old
straw cIinging to creeds neither believed nor prac-
tised, or lack of holy boldness in declaring the
whole counsel of God either from fear or favor Of
the self-satisaed listener is attractive TO the
average man. furnishing no food for reflection nor
stimulus TO endeavor. Like pulpit like pew is so
seIf-eyident that birds of such feather flock to-
gether, leaving the OF missions 10 those who
not for those meretricious aids 10 devotion
found among the more ceremonious.
The remedy suggested by w esleylte or the

goer's partial method OF keeping the Saboath hoy

articles one signed J. W. Hathaway ana the other
Alfred ID C.inch condemning the cartoon of June

woman do not like 10 say how long l have been
