Dr. McLsod*s Sermon-

la his sermon Lui Sunday morning

Rev. Dr. McLeod In theF^lrwt Presbyterian Church, called attention to the fact that Atlantic City wanted to have a law onto Itself on the Sunday liquor selling business. He quoted a newspaper article In support of Allan- ha ve tie City's contention that there should

be no law 'Which wu st variance the wishes and customs of t

majority of the people of s community, and that ten millions of people visited Atlantic City in a year because of the Sunday liquor selling.

The Doctor termed this 1st tier

Dos a lie. because the facts disprove

It- He said u there were

lines of railroad running to Atlantic

City, If that many people were

rled there, the railroads could afford to have silver cart lined with gold. As a matter of tact statistics show that the greatest travel to Atlantic City In any one month wu In August 1907, when ail the roads carried to Atlantic from outside the state 540,000 people, and if they carried this number twelve months In the year, there would only be 4,120,000 people
