How Can They?

By Editor

Here are two sentences from the same editorial note in our Methodist contemporary across the bay, taken from its issue of January 24. In speaking of the way the Midwinter Fair managers have regarded Sunday and those who desired the Fair closed on Sunday, it says:—

"The commissioners have not hitherto shown the slightest regard for the Christian sentiment of this country."

The third sentence beyond this is as follows:—

"The lax condition of Christian sentiment in this country at this time is little less than appalling."

Query: According to the Advocate's own showing, how is it possible for the Fair commissioners to have any regard for such sentiment?
