AND ETERNITY Today we hear a great deal about TIME Nowlsthetlnetogetgolng No the time for Progress The man or woman will say I wish there were more hours to the day I m away behind In my work I never seem to get caught up Six days seem long enough for man to accomplish what he wants to do So he works on the Sabbath Sunday and makes It like an ordinary working day And to be inconsistent he now works only eight hours a day where previously it was 10 hours and also often overtime And now with Saturdays oil where formerly It was a ten hour working day There La also a great deal of time given to recreation and sports Some of course Is necessary and good for body and soul But there is more time now than ever before spent under this heading since Sunday sports are permitted approved and
