fore, if, instead of jopposlng Sun­ day films, which, of course, aip censored and classified before hand, and would be highly bene­ ficial to the youth of the locality, if churches and the Lord's Day Obsenance Society concurred.


They could then campaign


more vigorously against some pf the more vicious things in every­ day life, and also against the Bill now before Parliament which seeks to make indulgence in those things, which largely mar the domestic life of the community, 'easier and more convenient than before.


And again, if, instead of seek­


ing to ban all forms of Sunday entertainment, however innocent,


even if run for charity, the Lord’s Day Observance Society would only encourage them, lit would perhaps do more than anything else to cure or at least curb, the much talked-of juvenUe delinquency.

I I would like to point out that


men of God were responsible in the first place for education, hospitals, abolition of slavery,


etc. Sunday schools were in exist­

intended that education should replace the Gospel of Our lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
