NEVERTHELESS, the fact
remains that a man who
spends the week bent over a
desk, or in a laboratory, or
supervising a machine in a
factory, and therefore needs
physical exercise, must search
his conscience as to whether
it is moral or not on Sunday
to weed his little garden, or
NOW his lawn, or put up the
screens on the house, or turn
the ground so that his wife
may plant flowers, or paint a
trellis or an outdoor shrine.
He is constrained not only
by what he has been taught
in his catechism classes in his
youth, but also by the realiza-
ton that his Jewish and Pro-
testant neighbors might Won

is if he does not interpret the
Sunday regulations strictly.
THIS SAME MAN, how
ever, is fully aware that he
is perfectly free, on Sundays
to play football or baseball,
or put a 30-pound pack on
his back and hike 20 miles,
or go hunting with a heavy
rifle, or do anything else,
however, strenuous, so long
as it is classified as a sport,
and therefore as recreation.

VIZ are told that what is for
hidden is "servile work" The
term, it is alleged, grew out
of labors done by slaves in
the old Roman empire. The
historical accuracy of this
concept is seriously question
ed, on excellent grounds.
One reason for questioning
it is that the activity of slaves
in the Roman empire was by
no means confined to heavy,
backbreaking labor. Some
slaves we're entertainers, some
musicians; some dancers; some
secretaries; some supervisors;
some poets; some household
helpers; some teachers of chill
dren, and so on.
ANOTHER REASON is that
the term "servile work" as
descriptive of what is for
hidden on Sunday did not
come into vogue until long
after slavery had ceased to
exist in what had been the
Roman Empire.
In any case, the "servlle
work" definition has been
made vague, ambiguous, UNI
realistic and unserviceable by
the vast changes that have

1t seems to me that a farm

cept in cases of necessity
from blowing his fields on
Sundays; he does enough
blowing on other days, and
he certainly doesn't want for

shine. But a man whose work
ing life is spent in an office,
or a classroom, or at electron-
ic controls, should be en-
couraged to do something
vigorous with his hands and

yard and garden on the
Lords Day, instead of watch

his pockets.

imprisoned in a world of

human mind all by itself
