SATURDAY CLOSING
The Double Holiday Means Gain to
All Churches.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The Jewish Sabbath Association
an organization which exists for the pur-
nose Of promoting the observance of the
seventh day Sabbath, desires TO express
its approval of the step that mas peen
taken by Wanamaker, Il. Altman Co,
Lord & Taylor and others OF the most
prominent department stores OF TINS city
10 close their establishments for the en-
tire Saturday and Sunday during July ana
August. The value OF this action from
every point OF view, sanitary, social ana
religious. is enormous. The granting OF
two full days of rest every week TO the
employees cannot fail TO have a most
salutary effect upon their physical con-
dition and frame Of mind We desire 10
tender our sincere thanks 10 the proprle-
tors and managers of these great estab-
lishments for the immensely beneficial
step they have taken. 1t is TO be hoped
in accordance with the suggestion Of Mr.
Wanamaker, that this practice will be
carried out during the entire year and
not limited to the summer months.
We would, however, point out that THIS
action should not be limited to the stores.
The proprietors of manufacturing estab-
lishments should emulate the example or
the great stores. The many thousands or
working people would benefit greatly
and the increased efficiency during the
five days Of labor would easily compen-
safe for the lessening OF working time
From the religious point of view we Wish
TO point out the enormous advantage
which the cause OF Sunday observance
would gain by the universal adoption OF
this practice. The greatest enemy 10
church attendance on Sunday is the fact
that. Sunday being the only day OF rest
people are forced TO seek pleasure anu
remuneration on that day, and consequent
" remain away from church. With both
saturday and Sunday as days OF rest the
Christian would seek pleasure on satur-
day and worship on Sunday, whhe the
lew would reverse the process. In
word both Judaism and Christianity as
well as the sanitary welfare OF the peo-
nile. are certain to gain immensely by the
adontion of Saturday and Sunday as days
NJ rest. and II is TO be hoped that such
will soon become the general practice.
