OUR DAY OF UNREST.

["The great demand of the moment is something fresh to do on Sunday."]

--_Evening Paper._

At the ample shrine of pleasure

You have worshipped well and long

On this day of so-called leisure,

Yet you feel there's something wrong.

_Blasé_ is your air and jaded;

Sabbath hours have lost their zest;

Utter ennui has invaded

Every corner of your chest.

Sport is shorn of all its glamour;

Motoring proves no more a lure;

So you come to me and clamour

For a speedy psychic cure.

Well, my friend, if fresh sensation

Is the object of your search,

And you want a consultation,

My advice is, Go to church.
