stage curtain which served rs a back
ground for those on the stage, was raised,
bringing into view some ten or more
beautiful Abbeville girls dressed as Japa-
nese, and posing in tableau under and
near wide spread Japanese umbrella.
The effect was that or a pretty Japanese
garden, and the pretty girls were to serve
tea in oriental style. The tableau feature
soon faded when the stage was occupied
by hundreds of ladies and gentlemen who
wished to meet the visiting ladies'.
Able cille is in gala attire for the recep-
tion of her guests. Around the central
grass plot in which her monument and
he,: fountains are located has been drawn
line of electric lights dropping graceful
iy between posts set some twenty feet
apart. Lights attached to the top Of the
monument droop gracefully to the four
corners. In one Of the urns Towering
cactus, the property of Mrs. Richard
Sondley, has been placed. 1t is the most
magnificent flower we have ever seen,
with its hundreds of wax-iike blooms, and
measuring perhaps six feet in circumfer-
ence.

In view of the fact that the entire pro-

make special mention of the address of the

suggestion for the future course Of the

Up 10 this point, we havenot spoken Of
day of rest as a social, political institu-
tion. God bears two relations to tho
world. AS manifested in Christ He is our
Redeemer and the founder of asupernatur-
al organization, The Church. Aslthe moral
governor Of the universe, and Of this
world in particular He founded the natural
organization, the State. The State, under
the Almighty as it's moral governor, has
ests Of it's people. What are the best, it
determines from revelation and provi-
dence. Experience plays a large part.
Now it Is scientific fact as we'll as re-
vealed fact that man needs one day of rest
in seven. So for it's physical well being,
for itsIintellectual we'll being, and especial
ly to counteract the terribly strenuous life
Of today, the State can and does enact
laws requiring cessation from labor. But
with this the Church as such has nothing
to do, and the glory Of the Southern Pres
byterian Church is that it does notibelieve
in debating to the State.
The question for the Christian is not,
"Shall I by doing this or that break the
law? But shall by doing this miss bles-
sing? The Psalmist speaking prophetical-
ly Of the time when Christ should rise,
psalm 118) said This Is the day the Lord
hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in
It," AS one has we'll said, Everything
will fall tinto its right place and every
questi n will receive it true answer, if we
once seize the true idea Of the Day 1t Is
Day to rejoice in; not a Day Of bondage
but OF freedom; not OF gloom, but oft glad
ness; Day in which ,we declare that we
are not merely merchants, mechanics,
shopkeepers and lawyers but men-chil-
dren of God and heirs OF immortality; a
Day in which we assert our position as the
rulers and lords Of the material universe
and refuse to be in thraldom to it, and
In which we claim to be citizens of an in
visible and Divine commonwealth. Itper-
