'"The Lord'* Day Alliance of New Jersey -lefervu the New Jersey Senda> !aw, ami thu:. seeks to hold the R*< Day for the people of this "State.

To guard, thu Day. to keep it from aimiag under the heel of commercialism, is the work of this Alliance. "In its "work this Alliance -tar.'i- ready to Co- perate with any and all societies that will lend a hand at Sabbath defence. This work means that the laboring man will continue to have hi. Rest Day a* "a day of home fellowship, family reunion , and rest which he sorely star..!- in need of." There is not a savor of fanaticism, or of religious cant in the -above proclamation It coatrt with 'a) propriety, have beer : — from the executive body of any fraternal or civic organization. Published under the sanction and signature of a statesman, or 'political economist of repute, it would have aroused no protest from the rank* of those, who are ever and anon wasting breath, irt1 railing against the Blue laws, and Puritanism. Sot is there in the proclamation, anything which smacks of the . "kill-joy*" variety of reformer: in fact nothing again -t which a -ane person of average intelligence, could raise an objection.On the other hand, given no more than a rudimentary' knowledge ^ of the cardinal principles of social and industrial- economics, all perw.r, - will aequiesee without reservation, to every statement made chereir. , To the credit of American intelligence, little is beard now about < the fictitious Blue laws. TYie myth has been exploded. No self- , respecting person today, will echo the howl sent up to high Heaven, a few years ago, against the Blue Laws, and risk being cnarged guilty of (oUasot ignorance, or wilful ahameieaa lying. j There are no Blue Laws. 'What were called la**, are no other t than the social conventions which obtained during the particular period in s American history, and were never written into the statute . books. a The Lord's Day Alliance declare* emphatically, that it knows of. no attemtp to revive the so called Puritan Sunday by legislation, iand e U it did, it would rigorously oppose the paaaing of such a law. , In point of fact, so would all' sane people. Other times, other p ■wnner.';' different people, different customs. The Puritan Sunday a would be as incongruous and imparcticable today, as the Puritan's atyle of dress would be unfashionable. „ The reason however why the Lord's Day Alliance ha* been subTOe reason however wny the l-oro s Uay Alliance ha* been sub-

ject to so much calumny and abuse, notwithstanding the "above quoted statement, denying all accusations of any attempt, or attempting, to revive the Puritan Sunday, is not- far to seek. The hostile Sunday bill that was introduced last session, in the Legislature, and defeated in committee, was the THIRTY-SIXTH SUNDAY BILL, that has been frustrated and sent to the limbo of dishonor, during the last fourteen year*, largely through the efforts of the Lord's Day Alliance. A stranger from a distant land, might wonder why there should be a necessity for such an organization, as the Lord's, Day Alliance, in a land ifoich claims to be the most Christian and highly civilized or the globe. In truth, the existence of the Alliance i» a reproach. both upon the country and its churches, nevertheless, it is infinitely gratifying that the Alliance does exist., and has accomplished yoeman service in preserving the Chief of American institutions, againxt the unscrupulous wretches" who would debauch the nation, and traffic upon human degradation. , Until comparative!, recent days, the defence and preservation of flm American Sabbath, - as left entirely to the church and to ortetiM- , My rhureh leader* Statesmen, scientist*, and political economists ere now taking the lead, and for very cogent and urgent reasons. America today is seriously theatened by three e..'. from whirh ordy a proper olmervar.ee of , I toe Sabbath can save it. I. In the first place. American people are fast heeonrfmrrtie hope: j less victims of "hustle." "Hustle," once a prescriptive virtue of the American character, is rapidly becoming an insidious disease. As a nation we are living constantly on high tension. leisure is becoming an obsolete word. 'We work umier 'high tension, eat under high tension, and the Bttle o* do play, we play under high tension. The average Ameri- i cat does not know how to rest and relax. We sleep under extreme / tenaion. A* a result we are becoming a nation of r, surest heme*. There. ' are more old men at forty in America, than in any other country in j the world. Sanitariums are crowled. This depolrmhle rendition of physicai deterioration, is affecting 9* industrial world even more disastriously, ami creating even greater problem*. At the pace America has (men travelling during the past de< ade. ' the time is not far distant, before employers of labor will be compelled to nai! up over the gate* of every mill, factory, and mine, ' the legend "Too Old at Forty." f Employer* are driver! to this extreme expedient in self-protection, i living at such hugh pressure, quite an alarming large percentage of i men, are nervous wreck* at forty, ami consequently very liable to. ' accident, v-hile on the other hand, compensation Uw» are lierf.tring more stringent. . In view of these condition*, more than one medical 1 scientist, statesman, and publicist has advocated the pouring of leg- J bdqtior,, making it complusory on all men, whatever the nature of employ me'., to take one day of seven for re«t and recuperation. ! Thi* without a vestige of religious fanaticism i* one plank, in '• the platform of the Lord's Day Alliance. Hi Another evil threatening American civilization, j* the sordid commercialism of the age. The Lord's Day Aliance aim*, "To guard ! this day, to keep it from coming under the heel of commerciali.-m." if it succeeds in accomplishing this, tfce Alliance will have mom - than justified it* existence, and performed a service as great to the 1 nation, as that of writing the constitution. America wax founded upon a proper observance of the Sabbath: America has become the greate-t republic of history, by virtue „f j iU proper observance of the Sabbath: America will retain it* great , ties* among the nation* qt the earth, only a* long as it maintain, a e proper observance of the Sabbath. i And not merely as a day for spiritual worship, (we are leaving I ■ the religious aspect of the question out of consideration, an.)

No 'i complaint no heard against the managmment, no unpleasantness occurved or. a single court. 1 But the need of a suitable dab-bouse was sorely felt, anyh manypatrons of the courts were pot to inconvenience through it.
