LORD'S DAY MOVEMENT. Rev. W. S. Mclntire Speaks Against Law That Would Desecrate the Sab- bath. Rev. W, McIntire of Hartford spoke at the Sunday evening service at the Trinity M. E. church in the inter- ests of the Lord's Day Movement, dis- tributing piedge enveiopes at the close of the service. He said in part While we are spreading religion and establishing Christian institutions in Japan and Africa, there are great dan- gers at home which we must meet. Among the ‘greatest problems of the time are the Christian marriage and the observing of the Lord's day. There are three sources of danger for the Lorg’s day® There is the spirit of un- Godliness that prevails all over New England and all over the country. If we judge by appearances there are many people who have little regard for what God wants them to do. People consult thefr own desires and do the things they want to de, in too many instances, In certain quarters there is even a repudiation of the existence of a God, and if a person does not belleve in God of course he will scarcely think of observing the Lord’s day, s day lies in the existence of the grea strife for the accémulation of money, ‘The third dénger lies in the fact that |the peoples of southern Europe now coming inte this country in vast num- bers are filled with ideas born_in a ;ounlry ia which there is ne Lord’s ay, 4 were in the Sty | be great prossure broughi to bear b¥ The men who seek to promete busi- are financially interested and who could make mensy on that day, ewing tq the fact that se many people are idle, “Hvery year these men come to the geaerul assembly with bills to ciuding ‘the three nights® celebration |[rhange the Sunday law, that they may | united in marriage in Trey, Me.

Our defense lies in the convictions of the Christian churches of the state, whether Meéth- odist or Baptist or Congregational or Catholic. -~ Anything which the Chris- tian constituents of the state wish they can secure if they will but make a stand for it. The speaker concluded with a persconal appeai for assistance in fighting against the passage of a law which would desecrate the Lord's day. FUNERALS. Mrs. William Seizer.
