FIRST DAY OR SEVENTH?


Editor Advertiser: 1t is now up tt
| the Legislature to set itself right OF
| principle in regard to Sunday OBJ
servance, or any other religious ques
| ton, and that is to abide by the Con
stitution of the United States-"make
no law respecting an establishment OF
religion or prohibiting the free exer-
else thereof" The object of legitimate
| law is to secure to men their inaiien-
able rights.
Christ's kingdom upon earth does not
come by stress of law or force of arms
Men are attracted by the power OF
love. but they cannot be driven to-
ward the driver When coercion is in
troduced into any sacred work it then
and there loses it's sacredness and is
no longer the work of the Master.
Truth for authority, and not authority
for truth"
General Grant said. Keep church
and State forever separate and this
is sound theology, for I read from the
Bible: Render therefore unto Caesar
the things which are Caesars: and un-
to God the things that are Gods"
Here is the divine principle of re-
ligious and civil action. For the church
to resort to the civil arm for support
is to acknowledge its weakness But
I am of the opinion because a sunday
Sabbath being a man-made institution
is the reason why resort to civlI
authority is looked upon as consist
ent thing to do in order to have peace
and quiet This makes civil-Saobatn
out of Sunday, and as for Sunday De-
ing a holy day there is not one scrip
tural text for proof
Sunday is the first day of the week,
the day on which God began to work
when He set things in order upon this
earth, and the true Sabbath that was
made for man, and not for the Jew
alone, comes at the end of the week.
the day just before the first day. And
now to say to man that he cannot work
on the first day of the week when the
just command says Six days shalt
thou work is to take away an in
right
The original object of the Edict OF
Constantine A. D., 321 in regard to
Sunday observance was to be day OF
feasting;, a sort of holiday. day for
recreation and not of worship. nor was
il to be an enforced observance.
I am not in harmony with the prin-
ciple that the way to get rid Of
bad law is to enforce it, for that
would be voicing injury, and the multi
alton of sacred rights Sweep from
the statutes the iniquitious thing and
rejoice in laws that guard our heaven
born liberty, and do not interfere with

LeYeIrY and Magic.

Finger rings, earrings, bracelets,
brooches and other articles of personal
adornment originated not from the ps-
thetic sense of our remote ancestors,
but from their belief in magic. Even
civilized men today sometimes enter
tain a superstitious regard for small
stones and pebbles of peculiar shape or
color and carry them about as charms.
The Greeks and Asiatics used stones.
beads and crystals primarily as anu
lets and cut devices on them to en-
nance their magical power. The use of
such stones as seals was secondary
and may at first have been for sacred
purposes only When a primitive PEG
pie first find gold they value it only
for it's supposed magic and wear mug

A DOUBLE RESURRECTION.
Each of the Generals Thought That
the Other Was Dead.

General Barlow of the Union army
fell wounded and, it was thought, dy-
ing during the first day of the battle of
Gettysburg and within the Confederate
lines. General Gordon, cantering by,
saw him and recognized him. Dis
mounting, he approached the PROSTATE
man and inquired what he could do for
him.
81 am dying" said Barlow. "Just
reach into my coat pocket, draw out
the letter you find there and read it to
me- 1t is from my wife"
Gordon read the letter.
"Now, general" said Barlow, please
destroy that letter. | want you to mott
fy her-she is in the town over yonder
what has happened to me-"
81 WILL replied Gordon.
He sent for Mrs. Barlow, giving her
safe conduct through the southern
lines. and then rode away. certain that
Barlow's death was a question of only
a few hours at most
But Barlow did not die. His wife
came promptly and had him removed
to the town of Gettysburg, where she
nursed him so faithfully that he recov-

Many years passed until one night
both generals were guests at dinner
in Washington. Some one brought
them together and formally introduced
them. Time had altered the personal
appearance of both.

ADnlieG Science

When James Russell Lowell was
minister to England, he was guest at
banquet at which one of the speak
ers was Sir Frederick Bramwel. Sir
Frederick was to respond to the toast,
applied Science" 1t was long after
midnight when the toast was pro-
posed, and several speakers were still
to be called. Rising in his place, the
scientist said
Sat this hour of the night, or, rather,
Of the morning, my only interest in APP
piled science is to apply the tip of the
match to the side of the box upon
which alone it ignites and to apply the
fame SO obtained to the wick of bed

A moment later Lowell tossed a pa
per across the table to him bearing
these two lines:
Oh, brief Sir Frederick, would that all
could catch
Your happy talent and supply your match!

What a Lie Did.

The madness of suicide as a relief
from mental anguish was wildly illus
trated years ago by an incident which
occurred in an italian town. Moretti,
q tailor, was sent to prison on q charge
of fraud. His sweetheart called upon
the police officer to ask how long Mo-
retti was likely to be confined and was
told that it would be probably for
many years. The policeman had been
instigated to say this by the girls
mother. who disliked the match. Over
whelmed with grief and thereby driven
to despair, the poor girl put an end to
Der life by poison. A few days later
MOretti was released from custody,
the accusation against him having
been proved false He returned home
to find his aftianced bride a corpse.
Frenzied at the sight, he, too, destroy
ed himself The lie wrought a double
tragedy.

FAMOUS FOR FAT.
Daniel Lambert, Who Died I'm ISO9,
Got Too obese to Wabble.

The fame of Daniel Lambert as a
champion among fat men in England,
if not in the world, still remains I'M
rivaled. Daniel was born at Leicester
in ITO and died in 1909 at Stamford.
The grandson Of a celebrated cock
fighter and addicted to sport through
out his life, his dimensions were not
extraordinary, and his habits were not
different from those Of other lads I'M
til he was fourteen years old. When
twenty-three years of age, however, he
turned the scale at thirty-two stone,
and. although he is recorded to have
been then able to walk from WOOlwich
to London, at the time of his death, in
his fortieth year, he had attained the
pr0digiOus weight of fifty-two stone, or
72S pounds, and was more or less help
less He was modest man, and when
he had achieved physical greatness
fame was thrust upon him. He was
for a long time unwilling to be made
show of, but he gained more than
local reputation, and people Travelled
from far to see him, resorting to varI-
Gus devices in order to be allowed to
do so. At length the prospect of profit
overcame his resolution, and for four
years before his death he exhibited
himself in London and in the prov
inceS.
He was apparently a man of some
wit, for once, before he permitted the
public to gaze upon him, an inquisitive
person had gained access to his pres
ence by pretending to be a fellow
sportsman interested in the pedigree of
q mare, whereupOn Lambert promptly
replied, "She was bred by Impertinence
out Of Curiosity" Before the days of
Daniel Lambert, Edward Bright of
lIalden was we'll known fat man, al
though his name no longer fingers as
q household word. He died in 1850 at
the age Of thirty years, weighing forty
two stone and seven pounds, and is
stated to have been an active man till
a year or two before his death, when
his corpulency so overpOwered his
strength that his life was burden and
his death a deliverance. Both Bright
and Lambert seem to have been genial,
good humOred fellows and very popular
among those who visited them. In
deed popularity seems to be the lot of
the corpulent in fact as we'll as in fic-
ton. The heroes of fiction, however,
have the advantage in the matter Of
lasting glory, and the names of Daniel
Lambert and the fat boy of Peckham
sink into insignifcance beside those of
Falstaff and the fat boy in "Pickwick"
