Communication

To the Editor
We have noted with much interest
the public agitation Of North Da-
kotans over the Sunday Blue Law
menace which is threatening their
rights as American citizens. Supreme
Court Justice James e. Robinson and
the newspapers of North Dakota and
Minnesota are doing the public a great
service in their endeavor to lberate
American citizens from q religious
persecution which dates back to the
days of medievalism and colonialism.
If Americans are to be menaced with
the blue-laws of colonial times, when
they tried to run the government un.
der a regime of a union of church and
state. it is high time that somebody
pointed out the absurdity of such a
scheme now. In the colonial times,
our Puritan forefathers had some
strange ideas as to what consututeo
unnecessary labor" and a proper
observance of Sunday" Cats were
hung on Monday morning for catching
mice and rats on Sunday. Others who
desired to save the cats from such a
terrible punishment for labor1ng on
Sunday would imprison them in cages
all day Sunday so that they would
not catch mice nor rats. If the cider
barrel happened to begin working on

until Monday morning. And so any
sin committed with a high hand, as
the gathering of sticks on the Sabbath
day, may be punished with death,
when a lesser punishment might serve
for gathering sticks prtvily and in
OF MASSACHUSETTS
Bay, Vol II. page. 90.
The Puritans' idea Of "The proper
observance Of Sunday led them to
fine all n-churchgoers ten shillings
for non-attendance Of divine services
on Sunday. Men and boys were pun
ished in the stocks for laughing and
whistling aloud on Sunday. Husbands
were fined for kissing their wives on
that day. Young men were fined for
walking with young ladies on Sunday
unless the walk led directly to the
church or the cemetery. No one was
allowed to walk or ride for recreation
or pleasure. All that anyone was
permitted to do on Sunday was either
to go to divine services or sit idly in
an easy chair. If he twiddled his

thumbs while sitting in the chair he
could be accused Of being guilty Of
engaging in Unnecessary labor"
The self-righteous Pharisee of
Christ's time has heaped more than
$50 extra Sabbath regulations upon
the one Sabbath commandment which
God had given. The Savior ignored
these Jewish regulations, which were
against the spirit of the one divine
commandment. He told them that
the Sabbath was made for man and
not man for the Sabbath" They tried
to kill Him because He healed q bed
ridden invalid on the Sabbath day and
told him to take up his bed and walk
They condemned him for permit
ting His disciples to go through the
corn fields on the Sabbath day." and
for plucking the ears of corn and eat
ing them when they had need and
were an hungered." The Saviour re-
proved them and told them that they
were straining at gnat and swallow
ing a camel, and that they made void
the commandments or God through
''the precepts OF men,"
The modern Pharisee's conception
of proper Sunday observance is no
different from that of the ancient
Pharisee. Some religious zealots have
succeeded in getting the state legis-
laws as to prevent traveller from pur-
chasing a meal on Sunday. They fine
merchant for selling bread to the
hungry, ice to the sick to cool the
fevered brow, ice cream, soda. and
mineral water to quench the thirst.
Recently a court official fined a wo-
man five dollars and costs for carry
ing seven apples in her apron on Sun
day which neighbOr had given her.
On another occasion he fined an ice
dealer for giving away on Sunday
ice that was needed for sick baby"
Religious organizations are flooding
our state legislatures with Sunday
bills by the score. One thing is GER
tain-we are going some-but not
ahead. 1t is high time that American
citizens who believe in civil and re-
ligious freedom and a separate church
and state raise their voices in protest
against this backward tendency.
Eternal vigilance is the price Of lib
erty."
Respectfully yours.
