breaches SERMON
ON HOUSE BILL 312
Sunday Permit Measure De-
nounced from Pulpit by Rev.
Edward A. Tuck

or the LORD Day League of Vermont and
New Hampshire in closing his sermon this
on the reasons why House bill
312, the Sunday permit measure should
not be passed by the Legislature.
Previous to the sermon. the Rev. Mr..
Tuck read an appeal entitled IS o. S.,
Save Our Sabbath" which was sent to
every pastor in the State with the request
that It be read in the churches to-day.
This appeal is for each community to
carefully consider H. 312, and for societies
and individuals to send communications
to the clerk Of the House and to the rep
resentatives asking that the bill be re-
jected, as detrimental to the best inter-
ests of the State, and because 1t furnished
the entering wedge for a continental Sun
day.
1.-The purpose of the Sabbath is to legis-
late conscience" declared the Rev. Mr..
Tuck Germany lost ner conscience be-
cause she had turned her Sabbath into a
holiday. You know the result. Does YER
mont want a Sabbath made in Germany"
Answering two common arguments for
the measure, namely that there Is no
time for amusements and recreation ex-
cept on Sunday and that the law as 1t now
stands cannot be enforced and therefore
the bars might as well be let down. the
Rev Mr. Tuck said that commercialism
and ipdustr,alism have claimed six DAYS
of tho weel while re,,pion has hut one
day.
