Winthrop, Me, Aug. Is, 1914.
To the Honorable Commodore and Off,
GERS of the Cobbosseecontee Yacht
Club--Greeting:
Whereas in the issues of at least two
copies of the Kennebec Journal of the
present week there have been notices of
and invitations to join in a motor boat
parade, to be held on Sunday. Aug. le,
And whereas we. pastors OF Christian
churches adjacent to the lake, the scene
OF the parade. consider it direct and
an unlawful infringement on the Lords
day.
And whereas. in view of the breaking
down OF all Sabbath sanctity throughout
the United States and the whole world,
And whereas we now see the continent
Of Europe, and the East engaged in ter
rible war OF carnage and atrocity and
bloodshed, on account of Gods law de-
fed by the corrupting effect of the Con-
tinental Sabbath,
And whereas a just God hath said "Ev-
cry transgressien and disobedience shall
receive its just recompense of rewards"
And whereas Sabbath breaking will
surely enguif our own beloved nation
in carnage and slaughter soon or late;
Therefore we. pastors of Christian
churches in Winthrop and Manchester
do respectfully and firmly lodge our pro-
tests against the said yacht parade on
Sunday. Aug. 16. as an infringement of
the statutes of the commonwealth of
Maine, and as a direct fracture of the
Divine law of Him who said "Remem-
Der the Sabbath day to keep it holy"
