After Hep.

Mr. Hole thought the judge might be forced by public opinion to quit one Job.

Lippincott Discusses "Blue Law Agitation Before Club. " 'Man Is not niadt for Surd. a v. but Sunday Is made for man.'" quoted Dr. C. A. IJppincott in discussing the so-called "blue law" agitation before the members of the Chamber of Commerce nt their noon-day luncheon Monday. In tracing the origin of the Sabbath to the old Jewish history, and that of Sunday to the newer Christianity, Dr. Lippincott said: "It is my firm conviction that the Sabbath is of Divine origin to protect the weak from the strong." Tn presenting- Lr. Lippincott, John IeIIaven, who presided a.t th meeting, said that a similar talk wa made by Dr. IJppincott several weeks ago to the members of his Pible c!a5s at tho Presbyterian church. Dr. IJppincott prefaced his talk with the origin of the Sabbath and the observance of the first day of tho week now known ns Sunday. He said that while Jewish history shows a Divine origin for the Sabbath, there is no such oriin for Sunday. He said that the latter day is the result of the diriiples of Christ desiring to commemorate the day of the resurrection, which took place on Sunday. Pay for Amusement. The sneaker deplored any at tempt to legislate from a religious standpoint, but he insisted that Sunday should be observed for the benefit of the human race. "It is the commerciatlzation of Sunday to which I object," he said. He said that there Is too little internal resourcef ulnes upon the part of people generally to amuse themselves. "Men work hard to make money and then they pay It out to others to gain amusement," he said. "I would much rather that those vho go to see a baseball game on Sunday play themselves instead of seeing a match game," he declared. "They would be just as much amused and they would derive the benefit of the exercise." "Sunday should be protected for the welfare of the nien, women and children of the world." he said.
