THE LORD’S DAY.
RIDICULING THE ACT
Hoping to make the situation so absurd that revision of the Lord's Day Observance Act of 1667 will become imperative, the Manchester Sunday Games and Freedom League is planning to enforce its strict observance (says a London message). ■ According to the League’s officials, penalties may be inflicted on any person who rides to church on Sunday, or sells goods on Sunday. Not only that, but everybody must attend the Established Church on Sunday. They are securing legal •opinion and, if assured that the Act ; is still in force, will institute prose- | cution of prominent people all over •the country. j The League is taking this stand ! in order to reduce to ridicule the recent prosecutions of persons accused I of illegally opening cinemas on Sunj day.
