ANENT the efforts of the clergy to suppress the newsboys from selling papers Sunday in Washington, D. C., it is well to note the petition of the boys (numbering 200 signers) in reply. In addition to the suppression of the sale of papers they ask that laws be passed and enforced:— “That no minister be allowed to have a hot breakfast on Sunday, or a hot dinner. His servants have to work for money when they cook on Sunday. It is against the sanctity of the day. “We ask that all the seats in the churches be made free by law. “That no minister be allowed to draw more than $2,000 salary a year. We believe this sum is enough to support a large American family, with proper economy. “That each rich minister be obliged to sell all he has and give the money to the poor, according to the order of his divine Master. “That the Gospel be preached without money and without price, as the Saviour preached it. The Saviour was a carpenter, and drew no salary for his ministry.” And why have not the boys as good right to petition for such legislation as the clergy?
