St. Jude’s Kirk-Session Protests Against Sabbath Desecration.
The following resolution of protest was forwarded to the Magistrates of Glasgow:—“The Kirk-Session of St. Jude’s Free Presbyterian Church, having learned from the public press of a suggestion ‘that Sunday cinema shows should be allowed in Glasgow, apart from those organised for charities,’ desire to express their strong disapproval of this suggestion.
“The Session would point out in this connection that the duty of keeping the Sabbath Day holy is as binding upon every one of us as the observance of the other commandments in the decalogue. There is nothing which tends to bring about the downfall of individuals and of nations more speedily than the profanation of the Lord’s Day.
“The Session feel that those inroads upon the sanctity of the Sabbath will be attended with the divine displeasure, and they therefore appeal most earnestly to the City Magistrates to reject this unnecessary proposal.”
