This never ceasing toll kills thousands

Mr.. P. B. Hall. pastor Of the Christian
church, was the next speaker, saying:
II do not believe in legalizing day
we as Christians ought to respect We
as Christians should keep it because
.of our faith in the divine providence
who established the Sabbath and not
because it is placed upon the statute
books as legal holiday. Our highest
motives for keeping it should be because
we are followers of Jesus Christ. If we
observe the Sabbath as we should we
will be such a moral force that nobody
will oppose it, You can't accomplish
much by putting it on the statute books.
You can't drive, or force, or Cypress $
others, for we would not submit to such
trea tment. You can't make others honor
a day which we ourselves do not keep

The railroad companies plan not only
to do the necessary work on that day,

The speaker was opposed to mailing

thought that the Sunday newspaper was

In closing the meeting Rev A. Parker
said: This move is not to deprive us OF
