a victim to the snares of the metropolis. and he
languishes in a prison cell recovering from an

and his custodian in charge. Let us hope that
the second official will keep in the middle OF

THE SEVENTH DAY.

Hello, Daddy jim: Here I come;
open the door and let me in. l want
some information on a subject that
sounds queer to me, as do not know
everything. l see some folks go
crazy on the subject Of Sunday
school. Did God finish His works on
the first day of the week, and rest?
Did He sanctify it and hallow it, and
command the people to rest and OBJ
serve it, or was it the seventh day?
Can you or any Of the cousins ex-
plain it to me? Can you show me
Sunday in the Bible, or Sunday
school? If SO, please give chapter,
book and verse. Perhaps [ am tan
gled on this thing. Would like to
get straight. That billion dollars
spent for the Panama Canal is total
loss to the people. Since the negros
have become nuisance and menace
to this nation, wouldn't it have been
better spent in shipping them back
to Africa, where they belong? 1t
sounds queer to me to think that so
many big men would sell their souls
Tor the dollar, causing invalids and
little children to suffer and die, all
for want of proper manhood. I
guess heathenism has caused it. Bill
Mitchell was sentenced for twelve
months; don't think he worked every
day. Does Morse, the Ice King, work,
Or is he sick all the time? AS this
is getting lengthy, I will describe my
self am over fourteen years, have
white hair, weigh over one hundred
pounds, have gray eyes. Will ask
some questions. Who buried Moses
and where? How long was Adam in
the garden? How many people has
God ever made? If see this in print,
| may come again. Goodbye, Daddy
and cousins, r. LOUIS, Triton, Ca,
