cal age, where demonstration and
not faith is the law.
In our small, towns where neither
parks, lakes or outing places can be
reached other diversion must be sup
piled. The church does not supply
that want, hence we must look else
where for that entertainment that
will keep our young people from the
blind pig and pool table. In our
Judgment the picture show people
are doing more good in entertaining
the working people by their Sun
day entertainment than the church
can offer. When the church is oblig
ed to resort to force to compel peo-
pie to attend its meetings it dis.
plays weakness not only Of its at
fractions but its doctrine. To de-
priye the people Of the innocent in
structive enjoyment of the picture
shows is to drive them to the blind
pig. Does it need philosopher to
choose the lesser of the two; can
you drive these people into church
that has no attraction for them?
AS a churchman / protest against
anything that will deprive the wage
Garner and man who works six days
in Gods service from enjoying with
his family this one day that is his
and the only one in the seven. The
old law taught that six days belong
ed to man and the seventh was de-
voted to the service of God, is not
true and never was. Man labors for
God and his fellow man six days in
the week and the seventh should be
his to devote to the service of his
family.
If the church would provide some
musical or intellectual treat for the
people they would get an audience,
but the age of ancient history and
faith has gone by. The thinking
public demand fact and reason. If
the church cannot supply the attrac-
ton to the weary toiler, then let him
seek his recreation in the best the
city affords. So far, aside from the
family circle, is the Sunday theatre,
where clean and healthy amusement
can be found. To outrival this the
church must offer something more
! attractive.

streets were crowded with people
along the line Of march.
Many buildings displayed the stars
and stripes at half mast in honor Of
the day.
Without exception the business
houses of the city closed for three
or four hours in the afternoon so
that all could enjoy the exercises of
the day, and the old soldiers are
highly gratified over this mark Of
respect.
According to army regulations
flags on Memorial day are only half
masted until noon, after which hour
they are at full mast. This should
be remembered another year. The
significance of this is respect to the
dead and honor to the living, or
words to that effect.
