WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Mention

tale that undoubtedly gives him the
record for favorable location on the

BREED THEATER.

The Battle of Bunker Hill. one of the great series of historical motion pie tures noE delighting the American pdolic- is perhaps the strongest story yet released, and consequently will be ss great an attraction as any of its predecessors
 The historical facts are closely ad- hered to. yet enough romance is in tcrr1ingled to make continuous sue cesSion Of events which open with Colonel Prescott, one of the heroes of Bunker Hill. busily engaged drilling his company of Minute Men. The tre- mendous attack on the morning of the i7th of June. when the Brtishers were twice repulsed. and finally were vic- torious over the Minute Men, is one of the big scenes of the picture, and. as Washington Irving said. this was the first regular battle between the British and Americans. and to the latter their cefeat if defeat it might be called, had the effect of a triumph The romantic portion deals with young Minute Man under Prescott, who is injured capturing a British flag, but who is nursed to perfect health by the vil- lsge belle As the scenes were enact ed upon the identical historical spots much added interest is aroused.

support the observance of their Sab bath. What command has the church for the observance of Sunday? If there is such a command in the Bible let it be produced; if there is not, then let it be acknowledged and ad mitteG that the Sunday institution rests solely on the dictum of church authority.
 In regard to Sunday legislation, MT. Macintyre cites the edict of Constan- tine. I tis instructive to note that this edict does not refer to Sunday as the Lords day. as the Christian Sab bath but as the venerable day of the Sun.'' Sunday, as is well-known, was pagan holiday connected with idolatrous sun-worship. For what req son should the state enforce on the people of today this relic of ancient heathenism?
 In regard to Sabbath observance the Apostle Paul says: Let every man be persuaded in his own mind v This leaves it a matter of individual choice But thase who insist on Sun day laws would deprive Christians and nop- Christians alike of this liberty of action.
 The person who favors compulsory Sunday observance would, no doubt, favor compulsory church attendance Both involve the same principle; both are equally indefensible:. and both are destitute of any New Testament sane tion. NON-SABBAIARdA

Cray Hair Makes
 You Look Old
A Simple Remedy Brings Back the Natura! Color--Dendruff Quick
 ly Removed.

How often one hears the expression She is gray and beginning to look old.' It is true that gray hair usually denotes age and is always associated with age. You never hear one referred to as having gray hair and looking young.
 The hair is generally the index of age. If your hair is gray, you can't blame your friends for referring to you as looking old. You can't retain youthful appearance if you allow your hair to grow gray. Many persons ot middle age jeopardize their future sim ply by allowing the gray hair to be- come manifest. If your hair has be- come faded or gray try Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prepara- ton which a chemist by the name of Wyeth devised few years ago. It is simple, inexpensive and practical, and will banish the gray hairs in few days. It is also guaranteed to remove candruff and promote the growth of the hair.
 IL IS a pleasant dressing for the hair, and after, using it a few days itching and dryness of the scalp entirely dis appear
 Don't neglect your hair. Start using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur today and you will be surprised at the quick re- suits.
 This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is recommended and sold by all druggists

prehensive law than this. and scarcely one as strongly emphasized. Jesus and all of the twelve apostles were Israel ties. obedient to the law of Moses, and, for many years after the Ascen- sion, large portion of the Jewish Christians believed this was necessary to Christianity and to salvation, even to Gentle believers. Acts xxi and XIV, ,, xxi: 20, Paul, "an Hebrew of the He brews, touching the righteous ness which is in the law, blameless," late in his Christian career, speaks of himself as believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets in his defence before Felix, Acts Xxiv:14. and all through his mis- sion joined in the Sabbath synagogue worship, when practicable. Acts xiii: ,, fl; xliv:1. IA: xiv:1; xvi:3, 13; xvii1O, r.; xvii:4, 19. xix:S; xxi:24 at the last of these references, James and the elders testify thou myself wakest orderly and keepest the law, just before his imprisonment which brought him to Rome.
 It is an entirely gratuitous assump- tion that Jesus and the early Chris tians made no distinction of days, or dis-esteemed any. The word, alike, is not in the original, but is added 10 make the idea consistent with that of a succeeding verse, in Romans xiv, One man esteemeth one day above
 
 day It is also sratuitous that Paul was here referring to the Sabbath. The point of the chapter Is, not the esteem of days, which is merely an ll- lustra ton, but against uneharitabie and contemptuous criticism. What Jesus disregarded was not the Mosaic law but the load of rabbinical tra- dition foisted upon it, which buried the glad spirit of the Sabbath observ- ance under a multitude of technical ities, and smothered it with ceremon- iaI by hair-s splitting casuistry and tlnwarrantab ble stretching of points; for example, the rabbins are said to have made out 39 acts which they claimed broke the Sabbath; rubbing head of wheat in ones hand they reck- oned reaping, Luke viii. 2. The hu- man body has it's physiological peri odicity, especially observable in dis ease, like levers. It is admitted that the same God is the author of natural and moral law; the Jews are long lived: if a Sabbatic rest is good for them physically as well as morally and intellectually. why not for us? The Jewish Sabbath here is many hours later than in Palestine, but that does not alter the spirit of it, nor the effect But millions in this country conscientiously apply the spirit of Sabbath keeping still later, or on Sun day We are to have regard for the1r consciences as well as our own.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The division of time into seven-day periods origina ted in western Asia. not among the Ro- mans or the Greeks; earliest appar- ently. in Babylon and Chaldea, whence Abraham, T Chaldean, emigrated to Palestine We challenge the proof that the Romans had one day in every seven set apart for the worship of the sun: if they had, no new decree would have been necessary to order fr. observance.
