Despite the cold weather there was
a good attendance at the churches
Sunday, and the pastors of the
various organizations delivered able
addresses.
1.-The Christian Sabbath
was the subject of Rev. f. NJ. Wash
burns evening discourse at the Con-
gregatiOnal church, in which he said
In Mark 2:27, He who is himself Lord
of the Sabbath said, "The Sabbath
was made for man, not man for the
Sabbath"
The Jealous prosecutors of Jesus
made much use Of the Sabbath as one
of the chief grounds of complaints
against his manner of life, and the
evident popularity that was gathering
about his person and deeds. Their
false notion of the nature and pur-
pose of the institution Of the Sab.
bath had led them into many vague
and absurd speculations as to its OBJ
Servance, and hence to the heaping
up of human traditions that burdened
the people with such matters as were
thoroughly Incompatible with the
real spirit of day of rest and wor-
ship.
Zeal is an important factor in the
success of any cause, but when not ac-
cording to knowledge, it degenerates
into sheer fanaticism and inures to
bigotry, intolerance and tyranny. 1t
is very remarkable, however, that GER
tain religious enthusiasts, jealous fol
the reinstating Of the Jewish Sab,
bath instead of the Christian, can
discover, through the spectacles OF
their particular hobby, 'union OF
church and state" in a republic that
tolerateS the wide-Open beer garden
and American saloon seven days in
the week, year in and year out; great
Sunday excursions by land and water
the hawking of Sunday newspapers at
the very threshold of the churches:
exciting Sunday ball games, umpired
by a metropolitan mayor; Sunday
night theatres almost the whole land
over; and where, even in church Cir
cles, Sabbath evenings may be de-
voted to hilarity and feasting, to po-
litical voting and winning con-
tests, to acrobatic performances and
side-splitting farcical plays, in con-
formity to the time-honored maxim
that "the end justifies the means.'
The Sabbath was made for man, and
it's proper observance is indispensable
to the welfare of the race. 1t is an
institution of God, blessed boon
from heaven, and originated in mans
necessities. 1t is no arbitrary arrange.
ment, foisted upon the world by the
superstitious whims of bigoted priests
and laden with intolerable burdens
but wise provision, ordained of God
for the highest good of man, physical
mental, moral and religious.
1t is not more law we want on this
question, but more conscience, a bet
ter public sentiment to give force and
dignity to law; a sentiment that will
recognize the real purpose of the Sab
bath and, makezavailable the benefits
and blessings it affords. The voice OF
God, the better sentiment of the
people, and the cry of overtaxed mil
lions appeal to the church for the
defence and maintenance of the
Christian Sabbath; and so, in the
spirit of our fathers, for the sake OF
succeeding generations, let us stand
by 1.-THE book, the day and the church.

asked by one of those curiosity-hunting
people who are always endeavoring to
investigate things, whether he had used
tobacco during his life. Garrick's reply
was that he had always used it, but
with moderation, having made it rule
of his life always to quit smoking when
he went to bed.

The Center Board.

New York Tribune.
The center board is said to have been
the invention Of one Jococks Swain, a
boatbuilder Of Seaville, twenty miles
nore,: of Cape May. He secured letters
patsnt on it April 10, 1911. signed by
James Madison, president, and James
Monroe, secretary of state. Originally
it was known as "center board" This
new movabis keel was afterward called
''lee board" through the efforts of
certain builders to evade the terms of
SWANS patent by cutting on one side
of the stationary keel for the board.
Though of so early an origin, the center
board did not become widely popular
till after 1850, or about the time the
America took the famous cup at Cowes.

TIE revolt of the Louisiana supa

The revolt of the Louisiana sugar
planters from the Democratic party will
not be productive of very serious re-
suits. The idea prevails that Louisiana
is entirely sugar state. The sugar
region is restricted to that portion of
the state lying between the Atchatalaya
and the Mississippi rivers below the Red,
and to that part of the state lying along
the Mississippi below Baton Rouge.

portion OF the state, which is

the tall buildings of Chicago the Mar
quette club has invited the Hon. Joseph
Benson Foraker. technically known as
Fire Alarm, to come to that town next
month and throw his heavy voice.
The result will be waited with feverish
interest. In 1883. while hurting his

aker killed two goats at distance of
800 yards, broke down half mile of
railway embankment and wiped out a
rolling mill. Chicago insurance men
have done all in their power to prevent
his coming.

land, said that the iron and steel manu-.

and seriously considering the question
of removing all tariff and throwing
their business open to the competition
OF absolute free trade. We hope that
the colonel speaks with authority. We
nave reason 10 believe that this is true
from the fact that in other lines the
manufacturers are beginning to see that
they must have wider markets if they
wish to avoid the congestion of the
home market. and, in order to do so.
they must have free trade. not only in
their raw materials. but in the things
that they themselves make. the latter
being the price of obtaining the former.
