Following two selections by the
Uniformed Policeman's Glee club the
Rev. Josiah Strong spoke of the Civic
Sabbath He made distinction be-
tween the divine Sabbath and the
| human Sabbath which are unlike in
origin, authority and character. He
urged freedom from labor on this day
OF rest not only from physical stand
point but because liberty of rest can
Only be secured where there is a law
| of rest. He also deprecated certain
forms of amusement which are detri-
mental TO public morals. At the same
/ time he said certain forms of amuse-
ment, which a Christian Endeavorer
could not conscientiOuslv indulge in
should not be prohibited by law but
the devOtees of such pleasures, on the
other hand. be educated to a holy
Sabbath observance.

ton can grow great. They are the
family anu the Lords day. Both had
a beginning in the Garden of Eden and
both form the basis of all social and
religious life today" The speaker de-
clared finally that the church and not
the state must save the desecrated
seventh daV.
