SABBATH DESECRATION
(To the Editor.) Sir, — When I wrote my letter on Monday last I was not av/Kr* that there were so many overworked men in the railway service. They ■ all seem to he working six days a week, which is a terrible thing in this country. But are they' all working six days? And have they no time at all for recreation other than Sunday? I maintain that if it is necessary for railway -servants to have picnics and social re-unions, the Government should provide them with a suitable day, or days. • It would not be necessary for them all to be picnicking on the. one. day. They could take it turn about, as other people do. I still insist that there is no excuse for the breaking of the Sabbath, and the workers themselves should be the last in the world to make Sunday a day of picnics instead of a day of rest and worship.— I am, etc., TIMOTHY,
