where Patrick Henry is buried. The
orator lies in a quiet grave on the es-

he formerly lived. Red Hill is the
name of the estate, which is on the
Stand-ton river, thirty~clght miles from
Lynchburg. When Patrick Henry
bought the plasie it comprised about

THE SUNDAY LAWS. 3'
Macaulay says that the Puritan ob-
that to take ii. drive in the country
purpose other than going to meeting
sary was a sin against Almighty God,
in this world, as they punished other
flagrant. infractions of Ills laws. The
number of those who hold to that. be-
lief today is so scant as not to be
worth the counting. Certainly such
is not the belief of Connecticut legis-
lators who refuse to repeal obsolete
statutes or even of the clergyman who
demand their enforcement. Not even
they can recognize any moral differ-
ence between the recreation afforded
by a Sunday ride in an automobile and
a game of baseball on that day. We
do not. accuse them of bypocricy, but
they are to say the least. strangely
lacking in logic.-—Bridgeport Farmer.
