- -7 NoBeWerGotKes ' rrrr - --" ON SUNDAY? (By The Rev. Charles Stelzle)' , a question as to which falls far- tiip idle woman or me Dusy man. the' l"c v ... e;atan, we are told, finds worif for idje hands to do. Bttt his, majesty Len t neglect the ?nn who Is work ing to 1i limit Of endurance ; ,v The man who worlts incessantly is iuet as open to temptatifn a he who loafs unduly. The x oecQBiea sor cIifl sometimes sodden, intellectually. Tje 'an neither think clearly nor con secutively, seems out of joint to j,. His friends are misjudged and he iva'-es enemies needlessly.' , But this isn't the worst of it-the re3rtion that is likely ;to rcome from, iciii? nothing but work often leads to the most animalistic of physical pleas ures, leading to depths which the com jlK,nly idle never reach. The man who hasn't taken a vaca tion in twenty years nor gone to, a j,liDiv in a year nor played rt some other fashion cannot possibly have, a nrnial mind nor a natural outlook ,Jtv,n the problems of life. He. Is. Uher $ hard master or a poor servant. . Now God took all these things inta afc"imt when he commanded mem to take one day's rest in seven; Eyen (iod Himself rested, on the "seventh day" when He created the heavens and the earth. Besides this weekly da"y of rest He provided for a number o ex tra holidays and feast "days-. No, doubt ihe. Lord knew what he was about when ne arranged things 00 that all ,ucn should enjoy a period pf leisure sit' certain- stated times. , Some people want to abolish Sun day while Others wish it were Sunday all the time. The first would use all . v. n limn fSr nrndiintiAn n.nA 1a latfa veuid go to extremes in r$cration. hnse who have tried to keep up an unlimited production have failed na ture insists on one, day's rest in seven and the divine law coinroanda It.; Sunday is a day when the physical, mental and spiritual racuittes need to be recreated. if the sabbatS.,was piadft that man might be ' recreated, then logically, whatever puts .new life and vigor into a roan-r-whatever stira in him the heat tmotions without hurting anybody else must be legitimate on Sunday. What are some of the things th .give us new life and vigor? Music does t for Morne 'dot1; JrwiVlTio- at rv tares does it for others; taking a. walk through the wooda helps many mere.; going: to church builds up vast, num bers. - ' . ' :" - . . ., is-t fundamental It is hard for' soma people to un derstar that what may be, wrens- for them may be right for otherB. - If a man U consctomrsrof wrong-dtH ine he is doing wrong. This is a prin ciple in-Scripture. Eut he must not in ; siet that his neighbor, who can, for ex ample, listen to an orchestra on Sun day afternoon with a clear conscience and Tsith undoubtf4 benefit, is doing a sinful thing, ' The Puritans passed a law prohibiting- a man from kissing his w4fe;n Sunday. Some men don't need that kind -cf a law today; to keep them Jf rem, practicing this exercise. But the-pueU tans actually thought that it was sio- fui. . -' - -, -, The divine command upon which the Puritan- founded their , .anti-kissing law has not chanred. But history lias shown us that the. Almighty Re vealed to men a better way than that of observing the mere letter goi ih.e law with regard to Sabbath, pbserv ance. .: - ; , - The time has come for 4 fevistonjof cur attitude toward the. Sunda ,'aues-; tion. "We are not going to cut ojjt the command to keep the Sabbath' .-holy,. But we are going to reinterpret thlf law in the light of the inoilera ettua tion and this means, with, a back' ground of cora.ncn aeRse. The Sunday recreational problems of a big industrial city will never be set tled by the people living la a country town or in farmipr communities, be cause it cannot be understood by them. It is one thing to have enjoyed the freedom of God'a out-of-.3eor tn the country, but it if quite another , to have been shut UD iA a factory 4tt?iWS six working days in the week, and to have slept in a ptutEy teassnfat ,.he4 room, wa! ng up every morning with a headache, because, of the lack of ven tilation. ' it is a lot better to have working people gp off for a Sunday excursion than to have them sweating and swear ing at home because of the irritation which their lurroundtngs "develop, ''. The result is that the people get th impression that he is 'concerned only with crushing every natural impulse, And the assumption la that these nat ural Impulses are necessarily bad., Aa a matter of act however, the devil hasn't a monopoly of- all-the good thing in the world. . v it is possible to teach a boy as much sound ethics In a baseball game aa la taught in the average catechism class, Provided that the game is played on the level the value t 'team play? or cooperation, the necessity fop "sacri fice hita" in every day living, and the imperative need of clean living In or-, der to be a good player, are juat a f n suggestions, 1 ' need is the devpWI I .
