SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST

A large audience gathered in the
tent to hear DR.. II. NJ. Jump
speak on "The Christian Sabbath
or Lords Day" " In part he said
"We Adventists keep the Chris
tan sabbath or Lords Day for
several reasons. First, in Hebrews
/ :12 and Colossians 1:l4-16 we read
that Christ the Lord created the
earth. 1T therefore must have been
Christ who rested on the seventh
day and sanctified ii as His sab
bath day. This act makes the
seventh day the christian sabbath.
He says that He is lord Of the
Sabbath" Why? Because he made
it and it is His day.
"There is not text in the Bible
that tells us that the first day is
the Lords day, but there are many,
such as Isaiah 5S:13, that declare
that the seventh day, or the sab
bath, is His day. Read Exodus
20:l0 where the Lord in thunder
tones from Sinai proclaimed that
"the seventh day is the sabbath of
the Lord. " | cannot understand
how anyone can dare to dispute
him by saying that the first day is
the sabbath of the Lord. , / can
not understand how anyone can dare
to dispute Him by saying that the
first day is the sabbath of the
Lord or Lords day. " After show
ing that the meeting of the dis
ciples on the first day, after the
resurrection could not have been
held in honor of that event as Luke
says in chapter PAIL and Al that
they did not believe that He wa:
risen and John in chapter 20:1t
tells us that they were gathered
together for fear Of the Jews, the
doctor gave considerable attention
to Paul
"There is no proof that Paul't
meeting at Troas was q sabbath
meeting. 1t does not say that i
was, Paul declared in Acts 28:1'
that he had "never committed any
thing against the people or custom
of the Jews. f" Had he have eve
kept or taught a sabbath other thai
the seventh day he would not hav
dared to utter these words for
would have been not only an offens
against the Jewish people bu
against the most rigid custom tn
fathers ever had. !"
"Paul taught that the law i
holy and the commandment holy

Paul practiced it, and so ough

BIG AIR-SHIP
COMING SURE
Contract With Aeronaut Is
Signed.
THREE FLIGHTS PLANNED
One to be Made Over Busin :

With Favorable Weather the COM
ing County Fair Promises to be a
Grand Success.

III there isn't an epidemic OF still
neck" in Marion county by the close
of next week 1t won't be the fault
of II. l.. Fuhr, Of Coshocton, the
man who will manipulate the airship
scheduled to make three ascensions
during the fair. MIR. Fuhr VIII PROB
ably arrive here about Thursday ana
get his outfit in readiness for action.
The contract for having Mr.. Fuhr
making the ascensions was closed at
"a meeting of the executive committee
of the Marion County Agricultural
society held Saturday afternoon With
weather conditions favorable, Mr..
Fuhr will soar through the ozone
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday OF
fair week, going up late in the after
noon of each day, this time OF the
day being generally the most propi-
tious I'm the upper regions.
Mr.. Fuhr has a diriglble air-ship
which he claims is larger and better
than that of Roy Knabenshue, the
famous Toledo aeronaut.. He saws
that he is able to go higher and farth-
err and to stay in the air longer than
Mr.. Knabenshue. Unless accidents
happen, Mr.. Fuhr will navigate his
machine so as to bring it down at
the exact place from where he start
ed. 1t is likely that the start will be
made from the open place in the
center of the race track.
II is probable that the first two
days Mr.. Fuhr will not travel far
from the vicinity of the fairgrounds.
On the third and last day, however,
lit is expected that he will make a
trip over the business section of the
city and then return to the grounds.
This young aeronaut has been meet
ing with great success this year and
has made some notable ascensions.
He has gone up as high as 1000
feet and at GAINESVILLE last week trav-
eled four miles from the city. The
machine which he uses, while the
property of the Coshocton Aerial
Navigation company, is of his own
invention
While not being used, the airship
will be enclosed in a canvass and
shown for nominal admission fee.
Mr.. Fuhr will be present to make all
Explanations desired,
Besides closing the contract with
the airship men, the executive COM
mittee attended to other details con-
cerning plans for the fair Pros
poets for a big week are very bright.
j A. Knapp, secretary OF the fair
board, stated Monday morning that
with weather conditions favorable,
Marion county will get fair equal to
any ever held in the state.
All of the buildings have been
cleaned and repaired and the entire
grounds will look like new. The
vegetable hall will be particularly
attractive, and there will be held the
corn contest, new feature. Every
exhibit, except in some lines of farm
produce, will be much larger than
ever.
The committee arranged to have
the Waldo, Prospect and Steam Shovel
bands play during the week.
Entry lists for the races will close
at midnight, Saturday, and for the
exhibits will close next Monday
night.
