OBSERVANCE OF
 TIE SABBATH Monsignor Lucey in Sermon Urges More Consideration
 For Holy Day.
CLOSE FRUIT STANDS
Says Sole Object of Proprictors is to Make Money and Return to
 Foreign Cline.

The sermon at last Sunday morn- inS's service at St. i0scphs church. was given by the pastor Monsignor Lucey. The attendance was quite large and the music good The sub ject Was "The Observance of the Lords Day" After stating that the ten commandments of God were a summary cf the divine law, brief and plain and were naturally to be sup plemented by legislative laws of the church of Christ for their develop mont and elucidaticn. he spoke of the Third Commandment of God. Remember that Thou Keep Holy the Sabbath Day. The manner of keep ing it holy was left to church legis- laiion, which is given in first pre- eept obiging the faithful to hear Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and to refrain from ser vile work
 This law as generally interpreted binds everyone over seven years of lage except those who are employed on public utilities as railroads or who may be excused by sickness, dis tance from church or other lawful reason
 The speaker made allusion to the large number of fruit stores that are kept open on Sundays to the detri- ment of attendance on divine service. If such stores were operated by American citizens who had fallen in- to poverty and who needed some tenn porary relief, the case might be pass ed over in charity. But those who run these stores are in the work solely for the sake of making money enough to go to home in foreign
 cline. These people cannot with such a handicap perform their Sun day duty and as matter of fact make very little effort to do so.
 Moreover, the Catholic church. whose religion many of these people profess is held sponsor for their open disregard of the Sunday closing law One day in seven is necessary for the rest of man and beast and the Catholic church would be very glad if all such places were closed up on Sundays and their workers obliged at least to take normal rest, even if they would do nothing more. Tn conclusion, the speaker said that some of our best citizens are Italians by birth and that they are credit to their church and adopted country.
