Too, we have had the same act in force in our city for over twenty-live years. “The originator of the petition against the observance of the Sab- i bath law, is persuaded, is more in terested in running his business for the purpose of self-aggrandizement rather than being interested in the rights of the ‘‘dear peoi)le.” I do not believe there is a single man, woman or child in the city of Char lotte, who regularly attends church ordinances on the Sabbath, who de sire to see an open Sunday, or who desire to have the roller coaster er operate all day for the purpose of adding filthy lucre to tlie coffer.s of others, ice cream or soda water dished out, or any other amusement that tends to desecrate the Sabbatli. "This community has not only been noted at all times because of its great respect for the law', but bet ter still, because it has been a God fearing community. One of tlie great est evils today is tlie desecration of the Sabbath and the violation of the Fuortii Commandment. We forget that the first four commandments are our duty to our maker and carry with them a higher obligation than the last six, which is our duty to onr fellowmeu. No community can ho)»e to prosper materially, much less to hope for providencial bless ings, that forgets the Fourth Com mandment, and it is to be earnest ly hoped that onr legislators will see to it that every safeguard needed is thrown around the observance o* the Sabbath day.” T.

I am in favor of all Sunday legislation, which has for its object the protection of Christian people in their right to a day of rest and Avorship. I think the state should prevent the hunning of sports and amusements for profit on Sunday, as it prevents the keeping open of shops, stores and factories on that day.
