II, it as followi: Third Commandment.

"Reverend and dear Father: The attempt that if being made to legalize commercial sport on Sunday calli for a reminder of the law of Cod and the teaching of the Catholic Church on the Lord's Day. The Third Commandment of God forbids on that day, which under the Old wa lh seventh day i the week, but which in the Christian dispensation is kept on the first day of the week in honor of our Divine Lord's Resurrection. Th Catholic Church has always zealously maintained the law of Sunday rest. The whole dsy is to be given to God and kept holy. It is to be kept for the benefit of our souls.

The hearing of Holy Mass on that day is of strict obligation. There Is a general obligation to keep in mind during the day our duties of worship to Almighty God, especially public worship, and Catholics are urged to assist at afternoon or evening devotions in church on Sunday when they can do S6 without serious Inconvenience. "Following our Divine Lord's teaching that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath, the Catholic Church approves of wholesome recreation on Sunday and she permits work on grounds of necessity, custom, utility, ptety and charity. These permissions are not extended so far as to be inconsistent with the character of Sunday as a day of rest and worship. The church deplores the laxity and abuses which In some places have desecrated the Lord's Day.

The present Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, has expressed the mind of the church saying JJSiundajr roust again become the day of the Lord, the day of adoration of glorilW ration of God, of the Holy Sacrifice, of rest, of recollection and reflection, of happy reunion in the Intimate circle of the family'. Servile Work. "Commercial sport on Sunday must Involve servile work, public business transaction and public buying and selling. Moreover, commercial sport would tend further to secularize Sunday, to deprive It of that religious and distinctive character which serves to recall the claims of the spiritual JifetQ multitudes in these days who are Immersed in material af fairs and have little Instruction in any other. these reasons, while anxious to see wholesome rest and recreation provided for our people, particularly those who live in the crowded areas of our cities, I view with disfavor the legalization of commercial sport on Sunday.

"I take this opportunity to urge all tor exercise their franchise as citizens at the forthcoming elections. It is a ciyic duty to take a practical interest in the good government of the community to which we belong and to promote the election of candidates whose character and policies merit confidence that they will use the powers of public office for the putdJc. welfare."
