Rev. Thomas de Gruchy, 1). D , pastot
of the JackEon Street Baptist church,
spoke last evening on the subject, "A
Plea for n Hotter Observance of the
Eord'R Day," taking his text from Eze
klel, xxil:8, "Thou hast profaned my
Sabbath." In the course of his re
marks, Rev. do Otuchy protested
against the desecration of the Sabbath,
and said that Clod gave the best gifts
on the Sabbath daj.
"If wo are to protect our civilisa
tion," he continued, "we must protect
the Sabbath dny. It has been to us as
a sacred tiust, let us keep It as such.
Let It be the queen of nil days. The
loss of the day Is seen In the empty
churches, and may be attributed to the
disobedience of out own children.
There Is too ln a condition of our own
conscience.
"Members of the church go tinny
from home foi a da's debaucheiy and
go to chinch on Sunday with a prayer
book In their hand, feeling that they
are not very far away fiom Ood, while
others neglect to attend church on ac
count of lsltors at their homes."
The way Rev. do Cruelty would over
come this latter complaint would be to
tell his visitors they would either have
to go to church or go home.
Speaking about Sunday papers, the
reverend gentleman said "Tho man
who loafs around the house leading
Sunday papeis sends his wife to
church, feeling she has enough lellglon
to satlsfj the whole famllv " He con
demned Baptist Young People's union
members for riding their blccles on
Sunday and cilticlzed young women
for riding on the street cars duilng the
Sabbath day.
"We want the mayor to enfoice the
Sunday observance law " he said, "and
If the people would lefuse to buy Sun
day newspapers there would soon be
an end put to their publication Theie
Is no Sunday In our thoughts, no Sun
day In our lives "
In making a comparison of the Euro
pean Sunday with the Ameilcan ob
servance, the speaker said In the old
country the people go to chuich Sun
day morning at P o'clock and go home
at 12, but In America they want a min
ister to begin nt 11 o'clock and quit at
a quarter to 12. "The trouble with
American families." he continued, ' Is
that they are becoming sepaiated. The
onl way to keep them together Is to
bilng them to church on Sunday and
keep them In tho jiew
"As soon ns the boy becomes 14 years
of age ou can't tell him to go to
thurch, thev have gone elsewhere
There Is nothing piettiei than to see
the whole famllv In their pew on Sun
day. The leturn of the old New Fng
land Sabbath would make a better
commonwealth out of Pennsylvania
than It is today.
'Tt Is a question whethei oi not we
hae the grit to hand down to our chil
dren that teaching we ieceied In the
days of our forefathers They put
meaning In tho gospel of their day.
The only power that can temedy ex
isting conditions Is the spliltual wel
faie as taught by them.
'Todav wo nie confused by a thou
sand wheels of industry, the cr of the
Sunday newspaper, base hall games
and other amusements We should be
jealous of the Sabhath dnv and keep
it holy The bell of God's indignation
will ilng nnd when It does it will ring
his righteous indignation
"If the church was true to Jesus
Chi 1st there would be no trouble In up
holding the Sabbath day. Whatever
changes, the Sabbath day must be kept
holy. It Is not the times that demand
changes of things but the people who
are leaching out for the almighty dol
lar and the nleasiue-seekei" who dese
crates the Sabbath "
Mi de Ciuchy doesn't know that
theie Is anv necessity for the Sunday
newspaper, and thinks the count! y can
go to the devil if men make things pay.
'The modem Sunday Is a isltlng
da j, for bicycle club runs, base ball
contests nnd other events, nnd tho
newspapers of today ically encouiage
these things by adei Using them.
Everything In America tends towards
a continental Sabbath of confusion and
dissipation. Lit us hope that God will
give the church the backbone to make
the Sabbath day holy."
