The Parole E,aw.

Attorney General Stockton has furnished
the Board Of Inspectors Of the State Prison
with the following opinion as to the con-
stit~utionality of the Law passed last winter
relating to the releasing Of certain prison.

of prisoners confined in the New Jersey
State Prison., approved May 18th, 1889,
empowers the Board Of State Prison In
spectors to release from State Prison on
parole, or conditionally, any person who
is now confined in said State Prison, and
committed there before the passage of said
act.

power of the Legislature to empower the
Board of State Prison Inspectors to release
from State Prison on parole or condition.
ally, any prisoner who is now confined in
said State Prison. and who was confined
and committed there before the passage Of
said act.
"The sentence pronounced by the Court
is the Judgment Of the Law. That iudg-
ment is that the prisoner shall be commit

term specified, the essential part Of the
sentence is the punishment which is grad

oner for the specified time at hard labor

The outlook for a successful and profit
able year at Pitman Grove was never more
flatteripg than mt present. The camp
meeting will be opened about the first of
August. The first day will be temperance
day, and the services will be conducted by
President Ballard, of the State Temper
ance Alliance, and Miss Frances Il. Willard
president of the w. G. T. U. The second
day, and really the formal opening day,
Rev. III. M. Brown, of WILLIAMSBURG. and
one of the directors of the association, will
preach the initiatory sermon, and win
be followed by Rev. A. i. Richardson, of
the Centenary Church, of Camden, while
in the evening the talented speaker, Rev.
DIR. 6windell, of Philadelphia, will address
the large audience, which will no doubt be
attracted by such an array of ability as the
first day will offer. Pitman Grove has
long since come to be looked upon as a
permanent summer resort for the Metho-
dist people generally of this part of the
State, and is this summer a veritable city
of pleasure for the many who have rented
cottage s'tents,h or those more fortunate
ones who reside in their own.

element was left but the games of base
ball, one of which was advertised to take
place in the morning and one in the after
noon. The morning game, with the Fen
wicks of Salem, was witnessed by q very
slim crowd, the score standing in favor of
the Woodstown nine. The afternoon game
was not played. In the evening the fire.
works advertised were set off on Railroad
avenue, the crowds from the surrounding
towns being swelled by a special train from
Salem, which brought about up seyenty-five
passengers, and returned at 1915 O'Clock.
A ball in Hunts Hall continued until an
early hour this morning. Many drunken
men were noticed, but no disorder is re-
ported, the lookup beng without an oceu-

Faess about that Cannon.

Under the above head the Bridgeton
Meas of Monday publishes a letter written
by Isaac Z. Nichols, and from which we
copy the following. The article gives Mr..
Nichols version of the taking of the can
non. and the amount of self-assurance evil
denced by its language proves c~onclusiyely
the ''ex-Senator's'i high consideration OF
his power and Importance.
About a month ago the writer, in COM
panY with James f. Hicks, member of A..
L. Robson Post, G.. 4. r.. visited the
State House at Trenton. An interview
was had with General Perrine as to whether
a gun could be secured from the State to
remain permanently IN the custody of the
Post. 1t was found that none could be
had as the caunon at the Arsenal were few
in number, and were kept as reserves in
case the State needed them. They could
only be loaned temporarily.
At this stage of the conversation Mr..
Hicks stated that there was a brass gun at
Pole Tavern. Salem county, which Robe
son Post would like to have. Ithen asked
General Perrine if the gun belonged to the
State. His reply was that it did. Mr..
Hicks then said: 'Can we have lt?' To
this General Perrine answered: Certain
ly; / shall be glad to accommodate my
friend Nichols, and serve the POST The
General was then asked togive an order for
the gun. He did Sc, and Mr.. Hicks re-
NAMED in Trenton, and afterward secured
it. In company with Francis p. Riley,
Esq. also a member Of Robson Post, Mr..
Hicks went TO Pole Tavern, and on the
order of the State, secured the gun,
brought it to Bridgeten, and shipped it to
Trenton. 1t now lies in the Arsenal where
it is undergoing repairs. This is the his

The day did not then originate with the
Bible; and there is no proof that the Infnit
God Of this universe ever commanded the
keeping Of any such day as the Rev. Joseph
Cook became so warm over in his last
Monday lecture. For in two of the books
Of the old Testament two iDconsistent and
mutually exclusive reasons are given for
keeping it. One of these reasons is the
childish one that God rested, as though
tired out, after the six days work Of ere
alton. But in the New Testament Jesus
himself fatty contradicts that statement;
though, even If he did not, science does;
for it demonstrates the fact that the crea-
tive work is going on today as much as
ever, and has always been going on. And
then the Jewish Sabbath according TO the
best Jewish scholarship, was no more like
the one that New England has tried to
support on divine authority thar Easter is
like the Fourth of July.
And when we come to the New Tesla
ment we find Jesus himself publicly brand
ed as a Standardization; while the writer
Of the Epistle to the Colossians distinctly
and in terms abrogates the Sabbath law,
declaring it to be no longer binding on
Christians. There is no trace anywhere of
an authoritative transfer of Sabbath keep
ing on Sunday. The Jewish Christians
continued to keep the Sabbath, while. at
the same time, they met on Sunday morn
ing to celebrate the Lords Supper and
keep in memory their faith in the resurree-
ton OF Jesus. But the GENTLE Christians
generally kept Sunday only. And for
hundreds of years it never occurred to the
early church that there was ever any ques-
ton about it being wrong to work on Sun
day after their religious service was over,
or to engage in any occupation they
pleased.
The very first law ever passed was the
edict of Constantine. issued A. d. 1921.
But that only made it what we would now
call a holiday, releasing people from the
obligation Of labor. 1t expressly excepted
agricultural laborers, whose crops might
need attention; and it said not word about
its being wrong to work, It was not
until the year 528 that all work was pro-
hibited.
And all the way down through the his
tory of the early church there is clearly
seen an endeavor IN the part of the Christ
ian leaders to discourage what they re-
garded as the Sabbath superstition of the
Jews. st. Cyril, Jerome, Luther. Calvin,
Tyndale. and others are as one on this
point. They all declare the Sabbath a
matter or church custom and convenience.
and nc part of any religious or moral law.
Sunday, as New England has known it,
was an institution unheard of in either
Jewish of Christian history until the time
of Puritanism in England. So. however
good a thing it may be, let us ct least tell
the truth about it; and, if we wish to keep
it, let us rest it on the foundation on which
it belongs.
