The Average American Sunday
By Editor
It is a fine bit of irony in which "Comforter" indulges in the Examiner of October 14 on the subject of "Don't Run the Machinery" on Sunday at the Midwinter Fair. He says:— Have more singing and sacred concerts, so that church-going people may rejoice in the place, for this is a Christian nation, and the President kisses the Bible every four years, does he not? We do not yet know how much machinery will be running, for "eyes have not seen and ears have not heard" of the marvels of the Fair yet, but suppose that they will make nails and bob wire there, and suppose that ladies will run sewing machines, but we do not want to see such things on Sunday. Ah, yes, get the Salt Lake singers [Mormons] to sing on Sunday, for everybody wants to hear them, and you men know what nice things are, and let us have them, and in doing so you will come as near pleasing everybody as need be! And that is about the average "American Sunday."
