SUNDAY,
DAMNlNG SINS WE HAVE NO
MIND TO.

The habit of "damning sins we have no
most people believe. We see 1t stated
that in Scotland the clausmen regard it
rs an inexcusable dissertation of the Sab
bath to ride on q railroad train on the
seventh day of the week, but they have
no conscientious scruples about playing
golf on Sunday. The popularity of the
game on the Lords day in and about
Edinburgh is eyinced by a recent report
to the town council Of Aud Reekie, in
which it was stated that the town links
were beginning to show signs of wearing
= rest. The average number Of players
on a Sunday is said to be 80.
This calls to mind an incident that
happened in North Carolina showing the
different ideas men have about what is
wrong. A strict temperance man,
Methodist, who believed taking drink
in bar-room demoralizing sin, on the
Saturday previous invited an elder in the
Presbyterian church to dine with him on
Sunday. The elder, man Of the highest
character and standing, replied without
even a touch of carA or superior piety, that
he had always made it rule neither to
accept an invitation or to give one to
dine on the Lords day, and asked to be
excused for that reason. Respecting the
strict scruples of his friend about the
proper observance of the Sabbath, with
some feeling that he ought to emulate
the good oldfashioned consistent exam
pie, the Methodist brother apologized for
his laxity, and withdrew the invitation.
The elder walked on down the street
and openly entered a bar-room, called for
a drink Of good whiskey, drank it, wiped
his mouth, and went on to dinner with
clear conscience of having done nothing
wrong or improper. He had been ac-
customed from his boyhood to take a
drink before dinner He had never taken
more. He had never desired more Now
his Methodist friend had been taught in
his youth that no Christian man coud
touch whiskey, and would have felt him
SET great sinner if be had taken drink
Of liquor. He didn't hesitate to drive
with friends on Sunday, to go out riding
or walking on Sabbath day, whereas
the Presbyterian brother would think
himself a great sinner to thus use the
Lords day. This illustrates the influence
Of early training.
