DIR Parkhurst in his sermon praised Commits
stoner Bingham's enforcement of the law. and
criticised the quality of the recent Immigration
which he held responsible for the breaking down
of the older American standards. He said;
The statutes are on the books and until they are
erased by legislative action they constitute a Pa
disgrace of tens OF thousands OF the people OF the
town that they ~ nave ia sGy eeI trampne upon athor
ity that either by oath or in honor 'hey are 'oD"'
such citizenship is very rotten eisizenship and
constitutes the enfenPe5ed bsInr dumped into the
construction Of the civic ediice.

said the opening of the saloons. as with other
places of amusement simply question of
money. They kept open. he said. in
defiance of law, and not for the benefit OF the
poor man. but for the wealthy brewers and dis
tlers.
DIR. HILL DISCUSSES CLOSING.
The amusement question was among those
discussed by the Rev DR.. John Wesley Hill In
an interview yesterday. Among other things
he said:
The observance of the Sabbath is not arbitrary.
but a necessity. I lift my voice this morning In
quictude and rest of the Sabbath. namely. the
ballet dancers and all actors Are these people to

Blue Laws of Connecticut. When enacted the
present Sunday law il in the name of human
right and divine sanction. When to en-
force It, it is of those wicked Blue Laws of Con-
