taught 10y Christ nor any of his disci.
pies, and the Sabbstic observance is
included among them. To this geo.
eral statement the remote Pauliu' FL
lusion in lst Corinthians ano Con s.
SLAMS, to idoiatry and covetonsn '>.,
may, by somewhat forced coustruc.
tion, be made exceptions.
The illusions to the Sabbath
keeping discussion, to which "Invcs-
tegator" refers in Mathews ~, aud
Luke 6, are perfectly in harmony
with the other teachings to which
| I have alluded. The Jews continu-
ally charged Jesus that he paid no
attention to the Sabbath, and in no
| inst ance does he claim to regard it.
Jesus explained to the Jews OF tha'
day, in those chapters under consider
alton. why there was no Sabbath in
his religion, when he quotes in these
two chapters II will have mercy and
not sacrifice" This means that his
religion consisted in course OF con-
duct that made others happy, and
not in doing penance, as in keeping
a Sabbath.
The disposition in the early church
to blend the mere formal ceremonies
Of the Jewish religion with the NOR
nl code of the Christian religion, ex-
listed in the days Of the apostles, and
was opposed by them, but has never.
theless exeisted until this day, ]
think, in the matter of observing a
Sabbath.
As to pulling The corn" or rubbing
out the wheat grains in their hands
and eating them ar they passed
through the fields, neither Jesus nor
his disciples bad any more right to dc
it than we would at this day, but
it was but little worse
than taking a drink oui
of a mans spring without asking
him. The amount taken was sc
small, that il would probably be
csviling to regard it even tht
lowest degi ee of larceny.

PERSONAL,

Having failed to be summoned as a
witness in the De Roode prosecution,
neither side seeming to want me, ]
take this method of contradicting a
calumny industriously circulated by
H. H. Gratz and some of his friends
for the purpose of injuring me.
His slander, stripped Of his pro-
family, is simply this: He charges
that melted X. De Roode to make a
personal attack on him, and that 1
had taken good position for seeing
DE Roode thrash him.
This charge is absolutely and un-
qualifedly false. l saw De koode
a few moments before the fight, and
said TO him: "Old Gratz gave you the
devil this morning." This remark
disgruntled lNe Roode. and he COM
menced recital of his troubles with
Gratz. This I cut. short by saying:
"You make 1t red hot for him in TO-
morrow's Press" This gave him
some comfort, and he said: II will
do my best" I then left, saying a
1 did SO: "Have your copy in by s
o'clock Or it cannot 60 in the paper"
The fight was great surprise tc
me, as it had never occurred to me
that either DE Roode or Gratz would
fight under any circumstances.
did think that Gratz deserved g
thrsshlng for his violent personal
attack made on De Roode in his pa
per, and nine-tenths of the public
were OF the same opinion, and il De
Roode had been two feet in front Of
Gratz instead Of two fee! behind
him when he made the assault. there
is no question that his act would have
been generally approved. As it was
Gratz got all Of the sympathy and
De Roode all Of the abuse, the publi>
seeming to forget that Gratz is about
the last man in the world who has o

BRO. NooRR:-I read with interest
your comments on Oglevie's bill, in

if Christ did not command us to

keep the commandments.
Now, what do you think of Mat

On the back of the sheet of paper
containing the above, which WAS

1t is signed by jolly, rolickisg,

lind it except by implication, where
be says keep the commandments"
The instruction to "keep the COM
mandments" occurs, think, only
three times in the New Testament.
In each instance it is the language of
Jesus, aud they all refer to the same
event. 1t is omitted from the evan
gelic or gospel writings of John;
that writing not being classsd among
the Synoptics; an explanation of
which fact would be more elaborate
than is necessary for this investiga-
tion.
The expression keep the command
ments sis found in Mat. 10. IS. Mark
10. 10. and Luke Is. 20. In all OF
the instances of statement which are
identical In allusion, after the injunc-
tion to "keep the commandments"
Jesus repeats certain commandments
apparently to show to achat command
ments he alluded, and in all the
instances the command Iequiring the
observance of the Sabbath is omitted.
In other words Jesus only enjoined
six commandments, and omitted four
as they appear in Exodus 20. and in
Deuteronomy 5. Six Of the command
ments must be observed by
every man whodoes justice
to his fellow man, and
and are properly comprehendsd un-
der the injunction to "loye thy neigh.
bor". -Four of them can be violated
by any man without any injustice to
any body. These fonr were never

street Car Accident.

Mrs. Bette b. May and her little

severe or fatal injury by street car
on the North Limestone line yester-

buggy when the street car, going very
rapidly behind the buggy, ran into it
and broke wheel to pieces and
otherwise damaged it. Mrs. May
thinks kindly of the Railway Com
psny, but thinks she ought to have

MIR. WILLIAM ARMSTRONG,
OF LsNns to-, Offers Reward ifor a
lot Historic Sword.

MIR. William Armstrong, re-
siding on East Short street, in
this city, has lost from among
the heir-looms of his family, a
sword that had belonged tc
his uncle, William Armstrong,
who is reported to have used
it valiantly in the defence ol
American libertysin the war ol
1912.
Besides it's interest as a fam
lily relic, large pecuniary i'm
portance attaches to it, as serv-
ing to identify Mr.. Armstrong
as one Of the heirs of a large
estate of lands lying in the
suburbs of the city ofSt. Louis,
and which have descended
from the officer, Armstrong, of
@he war of 1912. This land
consists of about 50 acres, and
from a division of a part of it,
Mr.. Armstrong, of this city,
has received his share without
any difficulty.
In 1871, Mr.. Armstrong
rented his house here to Mrs.
Middleton and Mrs. Lewis,
and moved to Nicholasville.
These ladies kept students as
boarders. The sword was
packed away in some trunks
or boxes that were left in an
upper room or attic, and since
that time have never been
seen by any of the family.
The scabbard of the sword
was OF steel, silver, or some
bright metal, and is thought to
have had the name of William
Armstrong, of 1872, engraved
upon it. The handle was of
ridged ivory.
Mr.. Armstrong will suitably
reward any one who will pro-
duce the sword or furnish in
formation that will lead to it's
recovery. If.

WE present in this issue of the
TRANscRIpT the Charter Amendments
to the city Of Lexington which have
passed the Legislature. A careful
reading of the amendments fails to
disclose anything Objectionable to the
people of this city. 1t brings the
city government nearer the people,
and especially protects the city
against hssty and ill-advised ex-
penditure of money. The provision
that members of the Common Couns
Gil and Police Commission shall serve
without pay is probably objection
able, as the time required to perform
these duties is considerable.
The city is able to pay
the men who attend to her business
and there is really no reason why she
should not. On the other hand, this
provision should bring into the service
of the city men who are devoted to
her material progress, and who to
help her along will gladly perform
the duties of the offices named to
further the common good. Under
this provision we hope to see some OF
our best citizens offer for election to
the Board of Aldermen aud Council
We might mention such gentlemen
as THos. MITCHELL, of the First Ma
tional Bank, g. W. RANcK, Judge
HUNT, Doctor BULLOCK, J. HULL
DAVIDSON, DIR. j. B. MORTON, ant
others. We are in favor of electins
men who will see to the development
of the city, and that everything ii
kept up to the line of her rapid ad
vancement. The provision for ,
police and fire commission meet,
universal appreciation; a test of tn,
system will soon be made. Taker
altogether the amendments are quite
sure to be benefit to the city. W,
commend the document to a careful
r eading.
