WHICH SABBATH?
Pertinent Queries PrOpounded
the Ministerial Association.

the Ministerial Association.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-There being now a great SUR
in society in relation to the proper OBJ
seryance OF Sunday, it is perhaps
permissible to add few thoughts. In
this connection, it reminds your cor
respondent of the old saying: Whom
the gods would destroy, they first
make mad Does the ministerial
body not know, that there is not one
letter of authority in the Bible to up
hold the Sunday, as day of worship,
but instead, it is Sabbath, or Zabaath,
or in our language the Lords Day
which is the seventh of the week or
Saturday.
They should likewise know that the
change from the 18th to the first day
was made by Emperor Constantine and
is nowhere authorized in the Bible.
The change was then made by the
Emperor after his conversion, to please
a large class of pagans in his empire,
(Roman), who had worshipped the
sun on that day. therefore writers
refer to sun day as the Pagan sun
day." Now this ministerial assocla-
ton, in fairness to those whom they
so ardently seek to prosecute, should
at least show their authority, not IN
the law made by bought legislatures,
but in the law of God.
Let them point out which is the
Sunday, the pagan Sunday OF Gonstan-
tine. the Jewish Sabbath, or the day
of the 7th day. Adventists, or the Mo-
hamedans Friday, or the day OF other
sects of religions, which cover the
earth, and which are found to embrace
all the days of the week so that we are
forced to admit that there is one eter-
nal Sabbath all around the Spbe.
Then there is the different standards
of time which viii confuse these Sun
day zealots, as also the fact of the
Sunday beginning, for instance, IN the
city of New York six hours later than
in London. But as to their real stand
ing in this great controversy against
the base ball association. the words of
Jesus do not uphold the ministers,
when he said: Man was not made
for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath was
made for mani"
Martin Luther also condemns them,
when he said in his table: IF any man
command you what TO do upon the
Sabbath, then ! command you to dance
upon it, or to work upon it, or to do
anything you choose upon it.

] The Wheeling Railway Company has
secured victory in its fight for pos
session of piece of property on South
Huron street, which is embraced in the
property desired for the construction
OF the proposed now barn.
It will be remembered that the CON-
pany disposed of it's property in North
Benwood to the National Tube Com
pany, which corporation required the
property for the extensive improve
ments contemplated in that section. II
became necessary for the street Rail
way Company to secure new barn,
and as the Bellaire, Bridgeport AMI
Martins Ferry line was acquired after
the construction of the present barn,
the most central and therefore most
desirable location was the Island.
Mr. Henry F. Jones Y as employed to
secure options on the property On
South Huron street west side, below
the old barn of the railway company at
the intersection Of Zane and South
Huron streets. The company secured
all the property desired, except one
piece owned by Mrs. Annie M. Ritz.
IL was impossible to come to terms up
|. on this piece of realty, and on April
30th the company instituted condemna-
ton proceedings before Judge Tnayer
Melvin in the Circuit Court.
The Court was asked to appoint COM
missioners to condemn the property 1oT
the purpose desired. Mrs. Ritz, by hel
attorney, C. P Flick, demurred. Judge
Melvin yesterday handed down an or

rIde, but the officer ran them off and
began TO look out for other suspicious
characters. Mr. Bowser was in good
fcttle as he waited for an overcrowd-

came along, and as he boarded 1t he
was obliged to stand on the running
board. The conductor came for his
fare, but II was refused.
"Pll not pay without seat" was
the firm reply.
"Then you must get Off"
"Never! Pm not to blame that you
don't run cars enough"

"Im out for my rights. No seat, no

There were dozen other people
without seats. and Mr.. Bowser looked
for them TO support him, but instead of

stopped and the motorman came back
to help the conductor and Mr.. Bowser
was asked If he would get Off peace

who didn't look as If he could take

corner was policeman flirting With
a nursegirl who had been sent out for

officer and said:

On account of Mayor Young being

police court was held, but instead a
special session was convened Friday
night to arraign two more persons who
were charged with rioting.
A warrant had been issued from the
Mayors court on the day previous,
for the arrest of Walter u. Wingerter,
on the charge of burglary and riot
ing. 1t Is alleged that Wlngerter is
one of the persons who entered the
Standard Hardware company on the
night of the riot and secured guns to
fire upon the City building. Detec-

the warrant. He learned that Winger-
ter was in Canal Dover. Dunn took
a train for that place and found him
there, bringing back his prisoner Fri

same evening, he pleaded not guilty
to the charge of burglary, and waived
preliminary examination. Mayor
Young placed his bond at $500 and
bound him over to Common Pleas

Cloyd Il. Graham was the other per-
