Threat of Arrest

Thirteen-year- old Howard Smith

a little more than a week, and no

URGES OPEN AIR
CHURCH SERVICE
Father P. J. Carroll Says SUM-
day Without Religious Ser
vice DepreSSeS Folks.

Declaring that a Sunday without
religious services is depressing and
will increase the panicky fear which
has in some cases accompanied the
influenza situation in this city, Rev.
p. j. Carroll pastor of st. Joseph's
church, Saturday issued a statement
urging that services in the open aic
be allowed. The communication fol-
lows:
Editor News-Times:
1T has come 10 my attention that
in the city of Washington. where the
epidemic of so-called influenza is
prevalent. permission has been
granted all churches to hold open
air services on Sunday In our zeal
for hygiene and bug exterm enatiou
we are inclined to be hysterical and
to infict panicky legislation on peO-
pie. A Sunday without religious SER
vices is depressing Surely one can
conceive brief religious services in
we'll ventilated churches being held
on Sunday morning without in any
serious sense compromising the
u
where children are together for
several hours il is different. 1t is a
serious matter for any man 10 take
upon himself the responsibility Of
preventing people from assisting at
mass or at any religious service
which may be held for a short time
on Sunday forenoon. In our zeal for
the wiping out Of this so-called in
fuenza one might give people an
opportunity TO ask Gods guidance
and strength and not place all our
confidence in gauze protectors. In
all calamities keep gloom out of
peoples lives as much as possible.
A churchless Sunday is a lonesome
Sunday. If we can keep the factor
les open we ought 10 be able 10
keep the churches open. Hygiene
alone won't save the world speci-
ically or physically. People have a
right TO God; people need Him And
any man who presumes 70 close
churches and prevent people from
worshiping God and asking His
help must be sure that this is vitality
necessary. and not done at the in
sistence of a few meddlesome zelots,
who having no specific business Of
their own have "a mind TO everybody
else's business.
Let us end the closed Sunday just
as soon as we can Anyhow, give
permission TO have services in the
open air next Sunday. This is done
in washington. Surely it can be done
here.
