Eye-opening editorial on the habits of the German-born American citizens to enjoy the outdoors and entertainment on Sunday, as opposed to quietly and dutifully observing the sabbath like the rest of Americans, and the chastisement that HW hands out to the Germans, warning against infringing on this time-honored American tradition, and bespoiling it with European weekend excesses. Alas.
Yes, that was interesting. I noticed that the writer presented the question as (in today’s terms) a binary choice: either everyone must observe Sunday quietly at church or at home, or everyone must observe Sunday with outdoor frivolity of the beer-drinking sort. “My way or the highway,” as it were.
