THE Sabbath Observance Committee of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland are grieved to learn of the many efforts now made to secure the “Sunday” opening of Cinemas throughout the Country for the entertainment of members of H.M. Forces. They consider this a shameful step being out of harmony with the highest spiritual traditions of this Country and calculated to affect adversely the great cause which we as a nation, in dependence upon God, are seeking to uphold. They are further convinced that the opening of Cinemas on God’s Holy Day is derogatory to the Divine Authority and that it has a degrading effect upon the people. It is surely very discouraging to such men as General B. L. Montgomery, G.O.C., Eighth Army, who said to his Army on 23rd October last, “Let us pray that the Lord, mighty in battle, will give us the victory,” that Military Authorities at home do much to bring God’s displeasure upon our war efforts. Let us be convinced that tampering with the Lord’s Day will not go unpunished. God is demanding from the British Government to take public action in defence of the Lord’s Day which is set aside for rest and worship.—D. R. Macdonald, Convener.
