THE SABBATH OR SUNDAY.

Editor Courier
Dear Sir.-I see in Peoples Pulpit of
your issue of the 22nd inst. an article
by one 'Senix," and l am probably as
foolish as he in attempting a reply, but
with your consent will do so.
The question of which day of the
week should be observed as a Sabbath
was settled by the Christian church
under the direction of the Apostles
and has since been so regarded as set
tied, except by small number of per-
sons who continually insist that it is
still an open question This agitation,
which occasionally breaks out in To-
calities. does no good, but on the other
hand is an injury to morals and relig-
ion and often is the cause of division
Pin neighborhoods and in families. The
attitude of Christians in general has
been to take but little part in opposing
the views of such agitators, believing
that the truth would win in the end,
and so it has won until the result is,
today, that practically all of the
Christian world is observing Sunday,
while the Saturdarian agitators have
succeeded in gaining only few ad-
herents, scattered throughout the
Christian world, who make their pres
ence known not by the good they are
doing, but rather by the confusion
they create in the neighborhoods in
which they are located
While in the main the policy of ig-
noring the agitation on the Sabbath
question has worked very WELL it has
had an injurious effect on the agitators
themselves, for they have construed
the silence of the other side to mean
that their arguments were unanswer-
able and have assumed an egotistical
and domineering spirit which breaks
out on the slightest occasion.
The facts underlying the Sabbath
question are as follows: The calendar
by which the dates and the Sabbath
day is fixed in the Bible is not the
calendar now in use. The calendar now
in use was gotten. up by julius Caesar
about B. c.. 46, while the Sabbath law
was given some time like fifteen hun
bred years before that time. According
to the calendar now in use Sunday is
the first day of the week, but accord
ing to the Bible calendar, the one in
use at the time and the one by which
the Sabbath was fixed Sunday is the
seventh day of the week. Thus it is
that every scriptural command in re-
gard to g seventh day Sabbath is Il
command for the observance of Sun
day. This being the fact, the result
has been that those persons who have
had the most to say in favor Of a
seventh day Sabbath have through
their ignorance done the most to break
it down. We have never had any trou-
BILE to demonstrate the above state
ments to any ordinary audience and do
not anticipate trouble in so doing in
tho future.
Yours respectfully,
w. H. Jones, Douds-Leando, Iowa.

Useless Abstinence.


Editor Courier:
1t Is with the greatest interest / am
reading about the self imposed
abstinence from meat, of ten thousand
families five members to family
am also wondering if after seven
weeks said families will be like Mike,
Glad to see you're back from the
front"
This abstinence is seemingly useless
for the government reports show that
the beef cattle alone are short over
100000 from this time one year ago.
Why this decrease, may be from the
fact that the western ranges are now
open to the public and made into
farms occupied by beginners who have
not the capital to stock up with beef
cattle, but must wait till their ship
comes in. IT'S true the combines have
something to do with high prices, but
the beef shortage is the prime cause.
Another thing-many people object
to working from rise to set O. sun and
seek employment in cities to become
a consumer instead of producer, and
then wonder why the farmers wife
does not make some of that good old
fashioned butter and bring to town.
AS it is the farmers wife receives
as much for the raw butter fat as she
does for the golden product. Why then
churn and pound butter when help is
not to be found. But enough of moral
izing Farmers Wife.

Sift Your Ashes.

To the Editor of the Courier:
In view of the exorbitant price,
which the Iowa Coal Operators are
just now extorting from the consumer
take the liberty Of suggesting to the
victims a method cheap and simple,
which will not only afford relief in the
present dilemma, but will, if perman,
emily adopted by them, save them fully
one third of their fuel cost, for all time
to come. The method is to SIF,r
YOUR ASHES. Take a sieve with a
inch meshes after Kidding remove the
metallic flux, which will leave you
more than one half of the original vol
ltme of ashes to reburn. This being
largely coke, will if put about one inch
in depth over feed of ordinary coal,
retard the consumption of fuel, so it
will last you again as long as ordi-
narily, and owing to it's cokey nature
will give off fully one third more heat.
Let the fire get fair start, before COW
ering with coke cinders. With coal at
1Sc bushel, it will pay to try this
method, and if, say only one half of the
consumers could be brought to save
this hitherto wasted increment, Mr..
Coal Operator would speedily come TO
his senses.
