Show SUNDAY ON BLUE MONDAY. Whether we entirely agree with Evangelist Billy Sunday's theology or not, it must be admitted that he has a lot of common sense ideas about things in general. He handed out one in a sermon some time ago which should have caused listening husbands to sit up and take notice. He said: "I don't believe I could preach a better sermon than to urge every farmer in America to get rid of Blue Monday. Washing with a tub and board is such hard work that women have given that name to the weekly washday." Then he reminded husbands of the drudgery their wives undergo without complaining, yet at the expense of their health and beauty. He continued: con-tinued: "Mister Farmer, look at your wife and see how she has failed since the day you stood up with her before the preacher and promised to love, honor and cherish her through sickness and health, and hard times and good. Look at the care lines in her cheeks those are love scars made for you." He concluded with the pointed suggestion sug-gestion that the neglectful husband "hit the trail" immediately and buy for the overworked wife that greatest great-est of all home labor-savers, a washing wash-ing machine. |
