established Whist is known as the locker

be plesses and as much as he pleases if
acquired legally. Liquors, the court
Gays, are legitimate property. Applies
iion for rehearirg was denied. This
ia an important decision and Gould sp-
ply to the laws regulating the liquor
traffic In this state, IS de6oed 10 the
Bird law. 1t has been contended that
q citizen could not store in club house
any OF the beverage for Sunday use. 1t
is also commended under the state law
that man can not give liquor to bis
friends on Sunday without Siolstion OF
the said Law. This, 1t seems, is inter-
fering with the constitutional rights of 8

as proven by the above decision. This
will be read with interest by those who
Wish 10 be law abiding citizeus and at

At the moment, We cannot recall. in an
evargelistic sermon ct revival meeting,
anything but unqualified deuunciation
of these t~o kinds of "wordly amu.e-
meus." d.. Thscker said: ''If The
dance usurps the place Of the prsger
meeting; II the card party takes the
place of the WomaD's Missionary So
ciety, then it is sin. Many people have
lost step with Jesns at the dance, snd
many have forgot God ct the card table.
Bat the devotees Of WORLDLY amusement
are not the only ones who sin; the man
who places his business above his Gad
and the woman who loves her home
more than her Saviour sin none the
