Show CHURCHGOERS, ATTENTION. The following choice specimen of sarcasm is from the Los Angeles Express: "It appears that there was a wrestling match for money at Chutes park last Sunday. Serious complaints com-plaints have been-made that the noise of worship in some of our churches disturbed the audience, and the hope is expressed that hereafter services will be conducted as quietly as possible. "When ladies and gentlemen pay out cash on the holy Sabbath day to see professionals Avrcstle for money, they do not like' to be disturbed by gangs of churchgoers offering divine worship. Last Sunday's offense has been overlooked, but it is hoped that those who choose to attend the house of God will hereafter conduct themselves more discreetly. dis-creetly. Sabbath wrestling for money may at -any time be superseded by wide-open Sabbath faro games, in places of refined public entertainment, with special facilities for the instruction of the young. If churches then persist in being offensive, the present city administration will be expected to take vigorous action. It is evident that the expectation expec-tation would be fully justified." |
