01D ‘BLUE LAWS | NOT WANTED NOW Buf Sunday Should Be Kept Holy, Minister Declares Observance of the Sabbath was discussed at a meeting of Every- man’s Bible class yesterday by Rev. N. Gilman, pastor of Stanley Memorial church, who said that it would be wrong to enforce “blue laws” on the present generation but who advocated a proper observance ©of the day. He spoke of a vote on the com- mandments taken at Simmons col- lege, Boston, by 835 girls the institution in which the commandment — “Remember Sabbath Day to Keep It Holy declared least important of the t In part, Rev. Mr. Gilman said: “The question of proper Sabbath observance has always been a per- plexing one ever since the idea of one rest day in seven was promul- gated in the law of Moses. ‘Remem- ber the Sabbath day to ke has been one of the most i stepping stones toward progress and civilization. “In the first place it is a law God based upon human nee human system is it can not do its bes ‘cient work without periods of test.

The experience of the human race since the dawn of his- tory has shown that the greatest ef- ficiency and progress are promoted 1t the rest day comes about every seventh day. In this connection it will be recalled that France once tried the cycle of one rest day in every 10, but after 12 years' experi- ence came back to the se cycle. “This fundamental principle, this human need for rest and change one day in seven, therefore implie all people shall not spend the w hours of this day in just the s way.

There is ono need | common o all, however, no matter what the occupation during the six days of the week, and that is the need of the Divine Spirit in human lives, a craving for worship and fel- lowship with the great Eternal | Spirit. That is fust as natural as the | craving for food and sleep. And so | the need arises for a service of com- | mon worship at lcast once in seven la In worship the soul reaches upward toward God and outward toward one's fellowmen.

The so- vorshipper getting o It the benefit which true wo should give him, His thoughts pirations are per- being dirccted Godward, but few are being directed towards his fellow men. If we were solitary upon an fsland that would to be our method of worship, but in this world others must con- stantly be taken into consideration ‘We are members one of another.’ The religion of Jesus is the religion rot only of love to God, but also to man. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy tod with all thy mind and all thy | heart and ail thy strength . hd | thy neighbor as thyself.' It is this st very important part which the nature worshipper is apt to forg cither let us forget that in so- |cial activities alone can all necessary benefits from Sunday deprived. The deepest cravings of the human soul can not be satisfied | the thoughts only out- | ward and not upward. These be fully satisfied in the average per- |son best by entering heartily into a service of worship at least once a | | week. As most of you men can tes- | tify, church going is not old-fogey nor out of date! As long as the! spirit of man is constituted as it so long will our churches maintain the service of worship. As long as | man's spirit is restless until it rests in God, so long will the service of | worship prevail.
