"Thcre nre more free thinkers in re.

electrician, "and many of them grow to
be the most pronounced In their views,
without being able to explain it,. There

telegraphcrs have to work on Sundays,

road men and hosts of others, who, as

ligious training. There seems to be
tomcthing in the telegraph business
that cuts men loose, as II were. 1t may
be from the fact that Morse, the in
vcutor Of the telegraph, was decidedly
independent in his religious views, and
that his followers absorb his ideas with
out being conscious of it. But the fact
that there are more free thinkers
among telcgraphers than in any other
calling, in proportion to their numbers,
is indisputable. This is no new or sud

of explanations given, none of them
