Rev. FIR James GilIen spoke Sunday
at both services in commencing terms
Of the steps taken by Cairo business
men to close their stores on Sundays.
He asked his parishioners to sym.
lpathize with these efforts and to frown
upon any business concern deyiating
from a rule so wholesome for the re-

Unity in general, be ii viewed from a
religious, ethical or physical view

From a religious view point the

attend mass which was never cele-
brated outside the morning hours. But
also the non-Catholic, he maintained,
/ was mentally better fitted for his even

and business worry during the day.
Officially speaking, there was no
one. he said, who needed, not at times,
be reminded of his duties, who needed
not announcement in times of tempta-
, tiun, and enlightenment in times of
! perplexity, such as it is the duty of the

Physically, the worker is better off

Money and what it purchases, is OF

laughed. "They certainly have to
be taught some things" said she.

long time, and before Winnie came
home she had visited other animals
