But there is a lot • in the viewpoint. ; । Os late we have been having much ■ italk concerning “blue laws” and [ many papers of New York, Chicago • and other large cities have worked [ themselves into a frenzy about it. •'Most of the talk is bunk. Very few I of the people who are campaigning ■ for a “purer” Sunday want to go half ■ as far as these organs of opinion say : they do. ! I Sunday observance is largely a • 'matter of viewpoint. What one con- > siders Sunday work is not so con- ! sidered by another man. What one • person holds as desecration of the :,day another man holds as no dese•lcration at all. ; ( Nevertheless, let the man—especi- • ally the workingman— who decries all Sunday observance, beware. On what foundation does the day of rest —Sunday—lay? What is the sole influence that upholds it? ;' The Christian religion. Nothing i else. • | What would happen if the Christ- ; |ian religion were made negligible in •'the United States, and if, thereupon, ! 'Sunday became as any other day? • |Results would be the same as in pai gan China, where the workingman [ has no day of rest at all. And as in ■ (Japan where no Christian religion is [ present to see that people get their ■ one day in seven: where the law al- ! lows the worker one day off in 30, • which, however, he doesn't get if the • (employer can help it. • I Don't belittle your American Sun- ! day too much, folks, or some day the • mass* of the people may be like the > ,degraded Chinese and the no less de- ■ (graded people of Japan in the mass. — Peach Kernel a Cough Remedy. _ | The most popular cough medicine : i mong the Chinese is a white powder : l iade from the kernels of peach • I atones.
