THE C r SABBATH.

The Christian Endeavor topic for
April 10 is found in Matthew, xii, 1-13.
The text is demand for the Sabbath
day. The day should be kept holy and
free from the ordinary toll of the week.
L. Because God commands it, God
made it for a day of rest and thoughts
of things other than business.
2. Because Christianity demands it.
IL you remove the Sabbath or secular
ize it, then the Bible becomes a sealed
book, the gospel ceases to be proclaim
ed, churches are closed, mission doors
shut, the people cease to worship and
the world returns to heathenism.
3. Because mans constitution de-
mands. one day in seven for rest. Aside
from the gift of Gods beloved Son.
heaven never bestowed a greater bless
ing on a race of toilers than a Sab
bath of rest. People who can rest when
they please may not appreciate it, but
the great mass of humanity are in the
ceaseless grind of toll. Remove this day
of rest and life becomes a desert with
out an oasis. The Sabbath of rest is
the workingman's ~inalienable, heaven
born right, and no human institution
has a right to take it from him. Con-
tinental Europe has no Sabbath, and
look at}+her mental and moral degra-
dation. All Christians should sustain
the s~acredness of the Sabbath by word
and by life.

YANKEE DOODLE.

The origin of this air is enveloped in
almost as great obscurity as that sur
mounts the authorship of God Save the
KING Though the song is about $50
years old, the number of different ac-
counts of it's origin is beWildering. Each
person who has written about it seems
to have found out a first legend concern
ing 1t. One story takes it back to the
days of Cromwell, who had among other
~nick-names that of Macaroni, and a
rhyme had it in this form:
"Yanke Doodle came to town
Riding on a pony;
He stuck a feather in his cap
And called it Macaroni."
This was in derision of course of the
pretenses of Cromwell in his leadership.
Another story has it that the tune Is
based on an old English air of kitty
Fishers Jig" associated with the nur-
sery rhyme:
Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it;
Not a penny was there in it.
Only binding ound it."
In 1892 a song called ''Yankee Doodle"
was published in England in Ards Sc
lection Of Scotch. English and Irish Airs"
It's hrst appearance in America, it IS
said, was during the French and Indian
war in 1855. The trivial words of the
original song. in derision of the ilI-as-
been written by DR.. ~Shuckburg, a surgeon
in the English command of Gen. Amherst.
The ragged militia adopted the song. to
the intense amusement of the regular
troops, but years later, when an English
army heard the strains of Yankee Doo-
die at Lexington. the laugh was on the
other side. Then and there. in the words
of a British officer, the army of George
Ill. was made to dance 10 the music
and they did not relish the performance
Many different versions of words have
been written, but none possess merit.
John Dickinson, of Delaware, wrote one
of the earliest patriotic songs of the coll
onies. The title of 1t was 9TH Liberty
Song" and the date 1853. The opening
StanZa read:
Come join hand in hand, brave Americans
And rouse your bold hearts at Liberty's
call;
No ~tyrannous acts shall suppress your
Or stain with dishonor Americas name.
In freedom we're born. and in freedom
Our purses are ready
Steady, friends. steady.
Not as slaves, but as freemen, our money
We'll give.
When the stamp act was kindling the
fires of revolution, a stanza from a pop
ular song just before Bunker Hill her
aided the coming conflagration in these
words:
Then freedoms the word, both at home
and abroad,
And every scabbard that hides a good
sword!
Our forefathers gave us this freedom in

If the meter was rough. the sentiment
was all right. Not many battles had
been fought when the victorious c~olonists
began to ask in exultant song:
Great heavens! Is his the nation whose
laundering arms were hurled !

H SABBATH DAY.

The Baptist Young Peoples Union
topic for April 10 is found in Matthew,
xii, lib.
The Maker of man is the Maker of
the Sabbath as part of his goodness for
man. Therefore the Sabbath is made to
fit mans needs and preserve mans
powers. To hear some people talk one
would imagine the Sabbath was a tor
turing and satanic invention, opposed
to the necessities of human nature, and
laying a heavy yoke upon mems
shoulders. AS a matter of fact, wher-
ever the Sabbath is truly observed
man gains in every way.
While the Jews observed the Sabbath
obediently and simply. they prospered.
Scotland, the land where the Sabbath
has been most strictly and scripturally
kept in modern times, has given the
world more great men. in proportion to

LUTHER BEFORE CHARLES v.

The Luther league topic for April 10
is based upon jeremiah, l., 1919. 1t
was at the Diet of Worms, April 10,
1921, that Luther stood before the en-
peror and other great men of Ger
many to defend the truth
The pop had ordered that Luther's
writings be destroyed. Charles V, the
new emperor of Germany, on his way
to hold the Diet at Worms, was met by
Elector Frederick, who demanded tina
Luther be given a hearing before he
should be condemned. He therefore
ordered him brought before the diet.
While all believed that some of Lu-
theirs writings were good, yet they
were offended at others. 1t was decid-
but the simple questions put to him
whether or not he would recall all his
writings.
The diet was held in the palace of
the emperor. Luther appeared on the
evening of April II. His books were
placed on a bench beside him and he
was asked two questions. First, wheth-
er he acknowledged having written the
books. Second, whether he would re-
tract their contents or persist in them.
He answered that the books were writ
ten by him and asked that he be given
time to think about the other answer
The next day (the 18th) the question
was again put TO MIN. 1t was here
that Luther made his most famous
speech. He explained his various writ
ings in both Latin and German. His
enemies threatened and urged him, but
he would recall nothing he had writ
ten.
Finally Eek said: "It is not a mat
ter for debate; these heresies have
already been condemned by pope and
councils. Give US now an answer, not
an evasion; an answer without hornsI"
And here is the answer he got:
Sine your imperial majesty and
your eXcellencies desire straightfor-
ward answer, an answer will 1 give

prisoner to Gods word. Retract I can
not and 1 will not aught; for to act
against ones conscience is neither safe

Then extending his arms he closed
with these words: Here / stand;

RESPONSIBILITY FOR OTHERS.

The International Sunday school les
son for April 10 is found in Romans,
xiv, lis. The golden text is the 18th
verse of the lesson. The time is the
spring of A. D. So. and the place
COrinth, where Paul is preaching.
Some things may be taken for grant
ed by Christians. We do not need to
discuss the ethics Of lying and stealing.
They are wrong. We do not need to
discuss whether the liquor traffic is
good or bad. 1t is the greatest n
to home life and national life in our
country today. That goe without say
ing. The thing hat does need to be
discussed is the question of what to
do about it.
What Paul says in verses 1-6 has
nothing to do with temperance as we
generally understand the word, for
Paul was discussing little matters
about eating meat and the like, about
which Christian opinions differed, and
which, in themselves, were of no i'm
pOrtance anyway, as Pau himself be-
lieved. But it has a great deal to do
with the part of the temperance ques-
ton which is still a question, namely,
what to do about it; for he lays down
certain principles of Christianity and
common sense for the guidance of
those whose opinions differ. There is
hardly a question on which the opin-
ions of good people differ more wide
~ h on how practically to deal with
the liquor evil. With this introduction
in mind, e over verses 1-6 care
fully.
Paul shows that Christians are not
to say, Il am right and you are wrong"
where differences of opinion arise be-
tween them. God is the judge. Each
II of us shall give account of him.
self to God. Each man must follow
his own conscience, not that of some
one else. The Christian must always
be charitable and loving, and respect
full of the honest opinions of others.
"Liveth to himself" The idea here
is not that each mans life affects 9TH
ers whether he wants it to or not. Paul
comes to that later in the chapter.
Set at nought thy brother" Cen
seriousness and contempt are I'M
Christian, n particularly out of place
between Christian brethren.
Each one must follow his own con-
science as to his w conduct, but he
must remember that the kingdom is
not a matter of things, but of right
eousness and peace and joy in the Holy
Spirit" All that promotes that life is
right and all that hinders it wrong. We
must must edify, build up, one anoth-
er. The lesson teaches this:
l. Drink saps the Will and makes
II morally weak, so that he cannot
stop when he would.
2. Many a young man has been de-
strOyed by the example of others whom
he considered safe guides.
3. Those who are stumbling blocks
to others will AVE to give an account
of their evil unto God.
