SUNDAY Observance.

The Sunday law as It Is written In the
Coda of Virginia Is not to be confounded
,u,th The Fourth Commandment. The lnt-
ter Is purely religious ordinance; tho
eormor is merely civil regulation. me
Virginia statute does not command tho
neople to remember the Sabbath day to
keep 1t holy, but 1t does command them
TO abstain from all labor. except In house
hold or other work OF necessity or CHAR
ity. This Is done because IT Is necessary
that one day In seven shall DO observed
as q day OF rest, and such law may
be enacted and enforced without inter-
fering IN any respect with q mans rel!-
g.ous liberty or personal rights and prl l'
lcges.
Tho statute provides that II q person, on
Sabbath day, DO found laborlng at any
trade or calling, or employ his apron
ticcs or servants In labor or other DuB!-
ness. except In household or other work
OF necessity or charity, he shall forfeit
two dollars for each offonse.
It Is very difficult to decide what Is q
work OF necessity within the meaning
OF rhe. statute. 1t varies with tho changes
OF time; 1t varies In different commun!-
tics. Common sense and public sentiment
| must determine, But the low should not
be strained, either In one direction or the
other. Tho intent OF the law Is to make
| Sunday day OF rest. and no manner OF
work should be permitted which tends
10 destroy or seriously impair the obsery-
auce OF the day as SUCH
+ The law does not say that no man
shall engage In amusements on Sunday
Except huntlng), but It does say that
no man shall labor 1T any trade or call
Ing TO provide umusements for others,
and that he shall not no employ his ap-
prentlces or servants, II persons wish
70 30 to the parks and walk or drive or
play ball or DANCE, or engage In any
other innocent nmusements, tho law will
not interfere. But when It comes ia
work, u must be w0rl, OF necessity.
and the determination OF This question
must lie IN great part In the discretion
OF tho court. Many persons may hold
that It Is necessary for them to have
amusement and recreation on Sunday.
The law does not dispute the point with
them, But II cannot fairly be claimed
that furnishing such amusements for a
price and for gain Is labor OF necessity
But, ~ best the law can do but l!ttle

Public Spirit in Virginia.

= mint at the Jamestown Exposition.
That Is good business, to say nothing no ~ q
the patriotic spirit involved. Every co &C l''t
~ in the state should be- represented Ut

is d duty which they owe to the STATE 'l1

celebrating this great anniversary, anu

the States wares and resources Ing ne
r legislature has made liberal appropriAal-
lions for9a general State exhibit, I but that
rs not enough. Each county should spe '!s
for itself, and each county should DC
proud to do so. No people have greater lf'
local pride than the people OF virginia.
They arc proud OF their State. but they
ara prouder still OF that part Of tho
state III which they reside. 1t3is to pc
hoped that that spirit will stimulate the
people OF each and every county to make
the best possible exhibit at tho jamestown
show. * IN
In this connection It is gratifying TO
hear from Chairman G. Brooks Johnston
that the exposition Will be opened on the
date set-Aprl 20. 1oo7-and that there IS
no question as to the ability Of the man
ngelnent to have everything In readiness
by that timo. This is to be peculiarly
a historical show, and II It should be
postponed for year. It would lose the
greater part Of Its sentimental value.
