In view of the present outcry against
blue Laws which after all is but a
subtle propaganda against the Chris
ton Sabbath and the Ten Command
ments, the following editorial bit from
the Boston Herald Is worthy of more

no wonder they feel need for more
diversified Sunday"
And speaking Of diversity In the
sense of variety, we know men and
| women too for whom we can conceive
no greater diversion than that they
should spend an hour In church pew
some Sunday morning or evening!
