Day outlines several of his reflections that he believes should align with Methodist values and decries the role of the press in contributing to the current national mood.

Last Sunday was the anniversary week of President McKinley’s assassination, and it followed President Roosevelt’s own near-death experience from an accident in Pittsfield, Massachusetts (September 3). These experiences called for greater reverence on the Sabbath than what the papers characterized as Roosevelt having a day of “sport and fun.”
