most interesting Mothers Meeting;
when medical friend sketched the
care and treatment necessary for q
child from the sixth to the four

was laid upon the responsibility Of
parents and the necessity of making
the home influence strong enough
to overcome the street influence. It
was an ideal talk. and much appre-
ciated, by the many mothers pres

Oldest book inthe world, and of all

dred languages and dialects and
scattered over the world like leaves
Of the Tree Of Life. The interest
which it excites is attested by the
fact that within forty-eight hours
after the Oxford Version was issued
no less than two million five hum
dred thousand copies were disposed
of.

The lords Day or a Continental Sun.
day Which?

Rev. J. j. Ehrstein's sermon on
Sabbath observance last month was
so convincing and comprehensive
that we have obtained an outline for
this column.
Basing his discourses on the text.
'The Sabbath was made for man,
and not man for the Sabbath" Mr..
Ehrstein laid down the proposition
that the spirit of the text called for
a day of rest, day of worship and
spiritual renewal and day for the
culture of all that is best in family
life.
Convincing proofs were given by
what is termed the laboratory meth
cd to show that real Sabbath rest is
necessary to the physical health of
man as well as>his spiritual and NOR
al being. 1t meant a healthier brain
cell, richer blood and more oxygen
in the system.
Sabbath observance is profitable.
because man with recuperated en-
ergies after Sunday rest is fitted for
accomplishing more as well as bet
ter work in six days than the Sab
bath desecrator can in seven.
The Sabbath should be a delight
and joy, the reward of the right
use of the powers of the mind and
body. The open church and the
open bible of today was mans oppor-
tunity for the fullest enjoyment of
the Lords day.
Contrasted with the ideal sug-
gested by the Sayior's words was an
average continental Sunday, day
Of debauchery rather than worship
a holiday, not a holy day. The
speaker here described conditions as
he had seen them in the mining town
of Spring Valley. Illinois, where he
had ministered for time among the
masses of foreigners of seventeen
different nationalities. Here every
thing was wide open, the saloon the
most wide open of all. The open
baseball park, the open thertre and
the open dance hall all contributed
to the decentralization of the COM
munity and murders and other
crimes were common as they are
sure to be under such conditions.
Another rural community of for
eigners of the irreligious type was
described, where Sunday was made
picnic and often big drunk, the
farmers and laboring men who at
tended being untitled for their work
Monday morning instead of renewed
and refreshed. The effect of such
Sunday observance on family life
can be imagined without going into
particulars.
The speaker concluded with a
graphic summing up of what the ac-
tual fruits Of Sunday dissertation and
its proper observance had been on
the life of the nations of the world.
He asked the defenders Of the open
saloon to produce a liquor seller who
would point with pride to the finish
ed product Of his business. He chal-
Hanged the defenders Of the contin-
entail Sabbath to draw line of sep
aration between the nations that
make Sunday day for picknicking
and debauch ery, and the Sabbath
keeping countries, and let them be
judged by their output for the up
lift Of humanity. Then draw line
in any community between the fami-
lies which keep the Sabbath and
those who do not, and compare their
actual value to the life Of the com
munity; finally to compare Sabbath
keepers and Sabbath breakers as in
dividuals, and draw their own con-
illusions therefrom.

Killed by Soldier Guard

George Collins, only son of Mrs. Jessie Collins, at one time teach CT in Kingman public schools, was shot and instantly killed by soldier guards at the Folsom street wharf, in San Francisco, few days ago.
 Young Collins deserted from the army some time ago, but was cap- tured and sentenced to serve two years on Alcatraz. He was brought to San Francisco under guard to work on the wharf and while thus employed was struck by one of the guards and started to run away when he was fired upon by the guards. Three bullets struck him, one piercing the heart.
 Mrs. Collins, who has been resid- ing in Flagstaff, has gone to San Francisco to take charge of the re- mains of the poor boy. All who know the mother will grieve with her in this sad aff1iction.-Kingman Miner.
