PENNSYLVANIA MAY
1^,, BE MORE LIBERAL
ft' ?' ' O*. 1 : -3yT w i ,
Campaign for Modification
of Blue Laws.

Em
^ Philadelphia, Pa.—Determined to
liberalize the Pennsylvania blue law*
passed In 17W, an amalfamation lias
been effected between two of the prin
cipal organization* favoring modifica
tion of the law insofar as It affects
Bunday amusements here.
The Anti-Blue Law Association of
Pennsylvania, which, according to
John Mather, chairman of its board
of directors, represents more than
' 1500,000 members, has merged with the
Open Sunday league of Pennsylvania
for the common cause. The latter or
ganization claims to have 375,000
mcmluM-s.. r
In furtherance of the campaign or
the combined organizations, the news
papers of the state, 80 per cent of
irhlch are said to favor liberalization
of the law, ore being canvassed to de
termine the attitude of the people of
the state toward a proposed modifica
tion or repeal of the 1794 statutes.
Considerable Impetus has been given
the movement by a decision Of the
Danphln County court at Harrisburg.
The court, In effect, held that an in
dividual con be penalized only to the
extent of a $4 fine for violation of the
Sunday closing law, and that the char
ter of an amusement park, for in
stance, cannot be revoked If held by
an individual because an Individual
has no charter to revoke.
Cafls Statute Ludicrous.
1 The' case considered the operations
bn Sunday of Woodslde park, an
amusement park near here. The pro
prietor was fined $4 and has paid It
every Monday while the park has been
In operation. Officials of the Anti-
Bine Law association and Open Sun
day league have pointed out that un
der the decision of the Dauphin coun
ty court the 1794 statutes constitute
*das8 legislation” because while on
Individual cnu operate by paying, a
small fine, corporations, such as the
Philadelphia baseball clubs, are not
permitted to open, as they run the
danger of quo warranto proceeding*.
The Athletics, Philadelphia American
\leaffoe club, had such an experience
some time ugo.
Mather hold* that the decision of
the ''ourt make* the 1794 statute
•more Judicrous than ever.”
“If the Inw permits an Individual
to play baseball or operate motion pic
tures on Sunday," Mather said, "then
It la nothing more than elks* legisla
tion when the same right\ la denied
corporations.
“The law a* It exists on tie statute
books :.t pfesent could. If forced,
Stop the railroad companies fnWoper-
atlng trains, bar the operatloV, of
street cars, busses, automobiles, t
phone, telegraph, and even radio, as
All these are ‘wordly buslnes*.’"
Pointing out that a ‘‘commercial
Sunday" Is not desired or welcomed
by his organization. Mather declared
that he is cot so much concerned with
the open or closed question os he I*
irltli the fact that Pennsylvania is
made ‘‘a !nughlng stock" In other
states which do not have such strin
gent laws.
"The blue luw of 1794 must be re
pealed or modified," Mat her said. ‘‘Too
long have the poor people been made
to seek their recreation and pastime
in other states on Sunday. Pennsyl
vania drives its people and visitor*
©ut the latter part of the week. Peo
ple who work five or six days n week
are most surely entitled to some en
tertainment Sunday afternoon and
evening."

Ingly defeatet’
rk of God.—
Though oar citizenship is In heaven,
we have obligation to the government
under which we live.
I. Obligation to Pay Tribute (Mark
12:13-17).
This teaching concerning the tribute
money came in answer to the question
put to Jesus by representatives of thq
Pharisees and Herod. T)iey would
gladly have killed him, but they feared
the people. Their only hope was to
discredit him among the people.
L Their question (v. 14).
Is It lawful to give tribute to Caesar
or not? The Pharisees contended that
since God was the real king of UraeL
it was not obligatory—yea, even sin
ful—to pay taxes to a heathen king.
The Herodlana were supporters of
Herod. With flattery on their Ups,
they put this subtle question. For
Christ to have answered "yes" would
have discredited Him with the people,
and to have said "no" would have
made Him liable to arrest as an
enemy of the government.
, 2. Jesus’ reply (vv. 15-17). #
He requested a coin to be brought
and inquired as to whose image and
superscription it bore, declaring that
those who accept the coin of Caesar
should pay taxes to Caesar. Thus the
Lord escapes their trap and Inculcates
a principle which applies to all time
and conditions as to the Christian's
responsibility to civil government.
II. Ths Christian's Obligation to tht
Stata (Rom. 13:1-7).
The believer Is a citizen as well as
a Christian.
1. Obedience to rulers (vv. 1-4).
This obligation is upon all Chris
tians. Civil government is ordained
of God, and rulers are His represent
atives. To refuse obedience to civil
authority Is to resist God. This does
not mean that a Christian at the be
hest of the state should do that which
I* inherently wrong. The same is true
of the child in Its responsibility to Its
parents. While obedience to parents
Is the will of God for children, this
does not imply that the child fs un
der obligation to do that which Is
morally wrong, at the command of the
parents. Submission to authority is
the law of the believer's life.
2. The spirit In whfch the Christian
renders obedience to rulers (v. 5).
He.should regard It as his obligation
becanse it fa morally right.
3. Methods of expressing this obedi
ence (vv. 0, 7). ,
(1) In the payment of personal and
property taxes. The citizen who en-
Joys the benefits of government is
morally bound to support It
(2) Payment of duty upon merchan
dise, and license fees. The business
exchange between nations must be
regulated. For such regulations, ex- j
pense is incurred, for which benefit
the citizen should pay.
(3) Veneration for magistrates—
"Fear to whom fear."
Those who have the fear of God In
their hearts will venerate their rul
ers, God’s representatives.
(4) "Honor to whom rfonor." Civil
officers should be honored because of
the ministry they perform.
III. The Spirit of Loyalty to Author
Ity (I Pet. 2:13-17).
Tha loyalty of the Christian to richt
authority should he glad and free.
The Christian recognizes the necessity
of social order, and will graciously
submit to the authority of rulers and
faithfully perform his obligation as a
citizen, not through cringing fear, but
as the Lord’s free man, for the Lord’s
sake. By means of this free submis
sion as God’s servant, be put* to si
lence the Ignorance of foolish men
(vv. 15,16).
L Honor all men (v. it)..
He will see in every man the Image
of God and therefore give honor to
him. A Christian will attend to the
proprieties of life among all classes
and in all relations.
(2) Love the brotherhood (v. 17).
The Christian has a peculiar love for
those who are of the same hbusehold.
(3) Fear God (v. 17). This Is filial,
reverential fear. 1
(4) Honor the king (v. 17). * This
id a peculiar significance, for In all
fobabttity the wicked Nero was then
reigning monarch.
Life Is Like Thet
"Take your needle, my child, and
work aK your pattern. It will come
out a roke by-and-by." Life is like
that. OneXstltch at a time taken pa
tiently, and\he pattern will come our
all right like {he embroidery.—Oliver
