bleeding for u.s. and then Monday refuse lv
ing wages.
How pray with him on Sunday when he preys
upon us during the week7"
Today working and women of Atlanta asking:
will officials of Atlanta, paid by and to do
otherwise try begin take down the bars and add the
seventh day to the six others for preying purposes
Working men and women and Gods poor not de-
ceived
They know that to propose to open moving pictures
Sunday charge admission to those who do
sufficient during the week pay for bread clothes
is farccal
They know that the proposal is made neither for the
sake of Gods poor for working and women, but
simply and purely to get money from the public by unlaw
fully compelling employees to work the Sabbath day
Working and know and will not stand
for it,
On the contrary, saying it is the efort-the
inevitable eor-to force in further the wedge which
tered when cigar stands and the like permitted to
remain open
They, too are unlawful
An injunction or a mandamus here might be very well
the working for wages behind the counters.
Then, too for the sake of rich and poor, while do
need moving picture shows open Sunday,
for these shows Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Friday and Saturday is sorely needed.
And for the sake of poor girls of these vaudeville
$50 called) houses need careful watching.
Instead of considering ways to permit them to violate
the law Sundays in Atlanta there growing sentiment
that they be properly regulated watch
ed during the week.
Unsavory stories about.
Rest and recreation Gods children on the Sabbath?
They should have both.
But consider Christ here and His custom
A day long ago. He to Nazareth, His boyhood
home.
He entered, AS HIS CUSTOM WAS into the syna-
gogue the Sabbath day and stood up to read
And He read
The spirit Of the Lord is upon Me.
Because He appointed Me to preach good dings to the
poor
He hath sent to proclaim release to the captives
And recovering of sight to the blind.
ITO set at liberty them that are bruised
so proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord"
He closed the book and added:
To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears
And those who heard Him would believe; they had
known Him boy; they tried to kill Him.
But out in the world the good tdings of the carpen
of Nazareth reached the of the working peopehe
poor
THEY HEARD HIM GLADLY
Those who crucfed Him dared moi attack Him openly
for fear of the multitude they found Judas to betray Him
under the shadow of night and without the city walls
JUDAS DID 1T WITH KISS
And prominent citizens of Jerusalem, acting for the
public good they said caused His death they msed and
deceived the multitude into choosing awless Barabbas in
stead of Him.
But that will not happen today.
The tolers and workers of the world recognizing
their King.
When one like Hector Denis of the Belgian Council of
Labor, says:
Man has new right-the right to leisure and rest
as well as The history of labor legislation be
given words the right to rest is inherent man
physiological structure From this follows the social need
away with the exhaustion resulting from overwork and
working powerhe precious possession of
nation.
Science traces out a path for the modern law
maker"
The who knows his Bible says the right is not
new neither has the path been unmarked heretofore.
In the second chapter of Genesis the seventh day of
Rest was made an institution.
Moses embodied it in the written law.
From the beginning God taught man by His word
well as by Man nature his need for rest
Like of the blessings which he has received from
God has again and again seemed bent upon throwing
away this one-the right to rest day in
JESUS SAVED 1T FOR US WHEN HE SAID:
