STRONG FOR BLUE SABBATH
Move To Have Denomination Attack

ed-saturday Half HoIi-
day Urged.

Chicago.-Granting of the Saturday
half holiday as means Of stricter
observance of the Sabbath was urged
in the report of the Committees on
Sabbath Observance made to the Cen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States. Other
recommendations made by the COM
mittee were:
THAT the General Assembly reiter-
ates its strong and emphatic disap-
proval of all secular uses of the Sab
bath day, all games and sport, in civic
life, as also in the Army and Navy,
and all unnecessary travelling and all
excursions, and urges upon all en-
pIoyers of labor and captains of In
dustry to recognize the need of the
laboring man for his weekly rest day
and thereby insures his greater eff
cheney and happiness and the greater
prosperity Of both capital and labor.
THAT we most respectfully call at
tention of all public officials to the
potent influence of their position, on
all moral questions and the necessity
of greater care on their part, that they
may strengthen rather than weaken,
by their influence, public and private
observance of the Lords day.
Want Blue Sunday.
"That all families be urged not to
buy anything on the Sabbath, to plan
for their servants on the Sabbath and
to help them fulfil their religious
duties and pay laborers SO they may
have Saturday afternoon to make pro-
vision fou the Sabbath"
THAT the General Assembly reiter-
ates its emphatic condemnation of the
Sunday newspaper and urges the
members of the Presbyterian Church
to refuse to subscribe for it or read
it, OF advertise in it."
"That the faculties of colleges and
seminaries, if the way be clear, be
requested to omit recitations Monday
mornings, so as to leave the Sabbath
free from the necessity of students
preparing their lessons on that day"
Hits commereiaIized Sport.
At the session of the General As
sembly here there was a suggestion
from the floor that sentence in the
report of the committee on Sabbath
observance disapproving "all secular
games and sports on Sunday" be
changed to read "all commercialized
games and sports" The suggestion
failed to carry.
Rev. H. L. Bobby, of New York, de-
clared that Sabbath desecration is
the greatest problem in America to-
day"
"Commercialized sports" he said,
particularly baseball, are a moral
menace"
