State Sunday School Work.

president of the Arkansas State Sun
day School Association. has issued an
address TO the officers and members of
the Sunday schools of Arkansas, in
which he says:
The Arkansas State Sunday School
Association is one of the sixty-seven
organizations that constitute the
great International Sunday School
Association of North America.
And while 1t is not known exactly
how many members are enrolled in
the Sunday schools of Arkansas, yet a
conservative estimate places that
number ut 100000, in about $500
Sunday schools.
The organization. as such, is CO.
operative, and ter-denominational;
truly an organization of the denomi-
nations, by the denominations and
for the denominations of the church,
and has for its object the promotion
of all that is helpful and good in
Sunday school work
The state of Arkansas, with ter
ritory of over $4,000 square miles, in
climate that is almost unsurpassed;
with mineral and agricultural re-
sources practically unlimited; with a
population of something like a mil
lion and half of people, is and will
continue to be a great state from a
commercial point of view, and much
honor and credit is due to all those
whose efforts are being put forth 1or
the advancement of the material well
fare of the state. Yet there remains
for the churches a work that is of
greater importance than any material
| interest can be.
The Sunday school, considered as
| the Bible studying and Bible teach
| ing service of the church. or the
church at work, as it is sometimes
| called. assumes in large degree the
responsibility of the development and
training of our moral and spiritual
interests How best can this be done
is the question that should receive
the most earnest consideration of all
church and Sunday school workers in
the state.
''Of the seventy-five counties in the
state, possibly not more than twenty
five have real, live county Sunday
school associations, and without or
ganizaticR it is impossible to have
unity of purpose and concert of ac-
tion.
Nehe motto of the International Asso-
citation, should be accepted as tie
motto OF the Arkansas association A
county association in every county in
the state; township association III
every voting precinct, and a Sunday
ideal which we should earnestly
strive to attain.
The progress made in recent years
is certainly encouraging The con-
vention held at Fort Smith in 1901
seems to have opened a new era of
prosperity in Sunday school work IN
the state Since then there has been
a field secretary at work much of ,he
time, and number of counties have
been organized and others aroused
and revived.
With Mr.. w. Fred Long as field
secretary giving his whole time to
the work and the establishment of the
Arkansas Sunday School Herald, pub
lished in the interest of the Sunday
eral revival of interest all over the
state. We confidently hope that the
work will be advanced as it has never
been before

Supreme Court on Sabbath Breaking.

and supreme court decisions on the
subject of Sabbath breaking has
been prepared, and Is being circu
lated by the Woman's Christian
temperance Union as follows:
The statutes of the state and the
decisions OF the supreme court upon
the question of Sabbath breaking are
very clear. There can be no mistak-
ing the intention of the Legislature,
nor the language of the court upon this
point. They have called spade a
spade in pointing out the duties of
citizens, SO that the most ignorant
can not be in the dark as to what the
law is.
Section 1891. of Sandels & Hills
digest. provides: Every person who
shall. on Sunday, keep open any store
or retail any goods. wares and mer-
chandise, or keep open any dram shop
or grocery, or who shall keep the doors
of the same so as to afford ingress
and egress, or retail any spirits or
wine, shall, on conviction thereof, be
fined in any sum not less than S25 nor
more than 500.
Section 1883 provides: Every ap-
prentice or servant compelled to la
Dor on Sunday shall be deemed a sep
arate offense of the master.
In the case of the State VS.. Golf,

In Shower VS.. The State, 10 Ark
259, the court said Keeping a gro
Gerry door open on the Sabbath is q
temptation to vice, and therefore
criminal. ANY person who has
control OF a grocery may be indicted
for keeping it open on Sunday, wheth
er he be owner or not
1t was held in Petty vs.. State, 5S
Ark, /, that: Keeping butcher
shop open and selling meats and veg
etables from it on Sunday is a viola
tion of section 1891 of Sandels &
Hills digest. imposing fine on every
person who shall on Sunday keep open
any store or retail any goods, wares
and merchandise. To commit the of
fense of Sabbath breaking by keeping
store door open on Sunday, it is not
necessary to keep it SO opened as to
induce customers to open and trade.
1t is sufficient if the door is partially
open, or Intentionally left unlocked So
that any person may enter as readily
as if left open. Or if it is opened to
the knocking of stranger and he be
admitted or invited in this is keeping
open. within the prohibition of the
state The foregoing is from the
opinion of the supreme court in the
case of Seelig VS. The State. in 43
Ark. 90 And it is to be remembered
that each day such store is so kept
open constitutes separate offense,
for which the offender can be indicted
and made to pay a separate fine; and
this, whether it is kept open by him
self, his clerk, or anyone else for him
The law upon this question is
very broad. embracing in its terms ev-
cry department of business or labor,
and every line of their daily conduct,
and il will be quite impossible to es-
cape conviction for a violation of any
one of its many provisions"

An Anecdote of Gar Reed.

A Characteristic incident in the life
of Thomas b. Reed was recalled this
week by Washington hostess, who
entertained the former speaker at
dinner party. Some time after the
soup and before the coffee Mr.. Reed
disappeared. and it was believed that
he had been called out for some con-
ference on a political matter. Hours
after the dinner was over and the
last guest had departed, one of the
family went to the coat room and
discovered, to her surprise, the burly
figure of the speaker, curled up in a
chair, reading a book. AS she stood
watching him he finished the last
page, regretfully laid down the vol
ume and studied the cover for a mo
ment. AS his eyes finally left the
book and wandered up, he beheld
his hostess. What is the book?" she
queried, with feminine tactfulness.
The Jungle Book; | never read it
before, and 1 had to finish it."
