 To the Editor of The Press May a Stafford Mother explain that the point of her letter two weeks ago was not, as one correspondent seemed to think. Sabbath breaking but Sabbath making? Although we read that our Lord "as was his custom. entered into the synagogue on the Sabbath day" I agree with her that worship, as he said. is matter of the spirit and not necessarily of the place. But for that very reason should we not cultivate and not neglect those elements which make for spiritual growth? l find l nothing in the teachings of Jesus to | justify indifference. but rather habit | uaI devotion to this. Il am come that | ye might have life. and have it more To foster that life" is the avowed aim of the church,-and there are some of us who still seek at that source. Doubtless many of our population find more abundant life on the Sunday ball field | han in 1ounging on Main street. But | would rather my boys found it | ,mong the finer influences of our beautiful Stafford woods and hills. | As for the life" found in our movie it was as a possible all .ernation that advocated the opening | of our public library on Sunday-it seems to me but too often given over to the seamy side and not to those things pure. lovely and of good re- port" out of which we would build a life of the spirit. Why permit our | children during their most impress | siOnable years to become familiar with | the aspect and operations of the un- | derwoFld, with all manner of sensa- | tional social irregularities and even | cruelties and crimes? Can it fail to | tougher their sensibilities and blur | moral distinctions? Until the vast | possibilities for good in these mar | yelous moving pictures are more near | ly realized by their promoters, can | we not unite in demanding and sup | porting only the best at present avail | able? Managers are not likely to insist | upon maintaining higher standards | than we ask for ourselves, and it is we | rather than they who are responsible | to our children.
