The two choruses by the school under
the direction Of DR.. Robinson showed
the presence of much talent among the
students when given the benefit of
thorough drill.
The vocal solo by Miss Rasche and
the violin solo by Milton Turney were
particularly well rendered.

WHNT STRICT
OBSERVANCE
OF SHBBATH

Atlantic City, N. j., May 20
The report Of the committee on
Sabbath Observance to the Pres
byterian General Assembly in
session here, has caused a most
interesting debate among the
members of that body. The
committee proposes the return to
the Puritanical Blue Laws as re-
CARDS the Sabbath. Several mem
bers Of the body spoke against
the including of such a report in
the minutes claiming that it
would show retrogression. Others
favored the report as brought in
by the committee. One item of
the report was to the effect that
the colleges should arrange for
no classes on Monday morning
in order that the students need
not study on the Sabbath. Sun
day baseball and Sunday news
papers came in for their portion
Of condemnation at the hands Of
the debaters.
