THE Constitution OF the United states
and New York state recognizes sunday

distorting the legal permission TO labor
on Sunday, which is generous con-
cession to his Interpretation or the
Fourth Commandment, into permission
to conduct any amusement or other
business on that day.

the law proposed by many Jewish citi-

robbed Of their rest day. Even now
Hebrew business men are compelling
Christians to work on Sundays.

of our free institutions, TO unite with
the Christian forces to secure one day
