SUNDAY

The belief that Sunday was day of rest influenced
many generations of people and played prominent part
in moulding the religious and social life OF America IN
colonial days and down to recent times.
The Puritan Sabbath widely observed in
America In of the colonies and in nearly all of the
older States conformance to the usages of Sunday was
of individual choice But the day was quietly and
reverentially kept over the Nation
The conception of Sunday day of rest has been
breaking down for several decades however, and in most
of its aspects Sunday has become the most restless day OF
the week. and by far the most violent 1t is marked nifty
two times during the year by nationwide OF motor
accidents MURDERS hi-jackings and rioous disturbances
The evolution of Sunday observance in America pre-

changes which have the land socially ndust-

The Sunday of colonial and early republican times
fitted the needs of the people then alive
America lay in a rural setting and life during the
week free from tension and hurry Saturday night
did not find the people tagged and worried but the
contrary their outlook and their pace lesurey and

the form of inacton, basking in the sun.
With the growth of industrial establishment and
the introduction of machine methods, lifes pace quick

to Sunday amusemens means of counteracting the
tension under which they lived and abored during the
week Organized athletics and organized showmanship
attempted to supply these demands.
The automobile afforded urban jewellers the chance

outdoor sports and pasmes 1t also speeded up rural
life and broke the serene isolation of the FARMS
The city residents seek the country as an envir-
