The woman to whom no one has the
slightest inclination to speak is the one
who Is the most timid about travelling
alone.
The man who could not successfully
conduct the business end of a peanut cart
Is the man who is free to tell you how
the railways are mismanaged.
The woman who finds most fault If she
ever does have to stand is the one who
when opportunity comes, expects to oc-
cupy two or three seats with parcels.
The man who loafs away three quarters
of his time is the one who is the most
unreasonably impatient If the train is a
few minutes late.
The woman who hates children is the
one who thinks it brutal that she isn't
permitted to take her dog into the chair

For four or five years at intervals I knew

great deal of STOPPING and considerable

have more than once thought of giving up

TRYING TO ABOLISH THE SAB
BATH.

BY majority of one the Board of
Aldermen Of the city of Asheville have
decided to abolish Sunday-so far as
permitting the sale of pretty much
everything that a shop" handles.
AS a result of the action of the
board. Rev. DR.. Campbell, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, requested
Alderman Brunette to resign as a
deacon of that church. The alderman
resigned his office as we'll as member
ship i'm the church.
There is nothing of the bigot in DR..
Campbell. who is one of the greatest
and braveSt divines in North Carolina.
but he is the soul of consistency and
devotion to duty. He did not believe
his church could have any influence
in fighting to rescue the Christian
Sabbath if an officer in his church
voted to repeal ordinances that were
in line with Bible standards. He.
therefore, firmly and regretfully told
the alderman that his stand for a
wide-open Sunday was inconsistent
ficer of the church.
The attempt to make this action the
occasion for abuse of DR.. Campbell
by comparing his action to the meth
DDS of the Spanish Inquisition" viii
deceive nobody. The truth is that in
Asheville and all other towns there is
an element that wishes to make the
American Sabbath exactly what the
Sabbath is on the continent. 1t is an
irreconcilable conflict. That element
is stronger, perhaps. in Asheville than
in any other North Carolina city, be-
cause they cater largely to tourists
many of whom seem to think thar
when they leave home and go off for
the Summer they leave God and their
regular observance of the Sabbath be-
hind. 1t may be we'll that the Ashe-
vile aldermen sharply challenged the
Christian people to assert their faith
by taking this long step in defiance of
the expressed will of the people, for
it has called forth an organization in
ASheVille to keep up an agitation for
q restoration of the old-time Sabbath
observance and the old laws with re-
ference to trading on the Sabbath
The men behind the movement will
succeed if they will continue their
fight with zeal and courage. No North
Carolina town or city is yet ready for
the Continental Sabbath.
The French Revolution was in many
respects one Of the noblest movements
in the history of mankind. 1t deter
mined to free the people from civic
and ecclesiastical tyranny, but made
the mistake of forgetting God and
abolishing the Sabbath. That lapse
doomed the movement and prevented
its perfect and permanent success.
