IN the new testament, and not single
time is there any reference to any
sacredness to the day. Now simply
because some one saw him on the first
day can't make it sacred, and because
he rose on the first day don't place
sacredness on it, when neither he nor
any apostle nor any one in the book in
forms Ns Of any sacredness in it. Sun
day can not be Gods holy rest day for it
plainly tells us that the seventh is his
holy rest day. Sunday is only man
made institution the Catholic church
transferred the day from Saturday to
Sunday, and Mr.. Hunter can not prove
to the contrary. Then you are not
keeping Gods day, but obeying the
command of the Catholic church, and
YOU can not deny it and prove that you
are not Now If you have any scrip
ture binding the first day on us give it

doors were shut and they We're there
because of fear. We have no right to say
any thing else for the book gives no
other reasons There is nothing in
this placing any sacredness on any
day. The Sabbath is not mentioned.
If you can't find stronger blow
against the Sabbath, you surely can
not blow it enough to shake it. He
still contends that verse rs is the next
first day of the week. Let the readers
Judge for themselves, I don't believe
it. And even il 1t was tell me by
what authority you try to place any
sacredness on it for this reason, there
is not hint in the passage, that gives
a reason for any sacredness on the day
If you can't give US scripture for the
observance of the first day you have no

ter says to keep part OF the law and
ignore part is trifing with Gods ver-
dict, let me ask II you are not trifiine
with the fourth commandment, which
is part Of his will. He refers us ia
Romans 1919; now why did you not
also refer US to verse 81, this says: do
we make void the law through faith ?
God forbid; yea! we establish the law.
This Is not doing away with it as some
want to. Now Romans 2:13 says:
mot the hearers of the law are justi-
fed before God, but the doors of the
law are justified before God" Verse
% says that "they that makest thy
boast Of the law by breaking the law
dishonorest thy God" Then don't
dishonor thy God by breaking his Sab
bath, or by teaching others to do So.
Then he refers to Matthew 5:17.
Jesus says he did not come to destroy
the law, but to fulfill" He says every
jot and little should stand until all be
fulfilled. Every jot and title means
every letter in it or it don't mean any
thing. Now why did you give us the
next verse the 18th. This says that
Heaven and earth should both pass
away before jot or little should pass
from the law" You did not want to
give us this verse because you did not
believe that heaven had passed away
and you know that the earth is still
here. They must both pass away be-
fore letter Of the law fails, or Jesus
did not tell the truth. Don't you
think this includes the fourth COM
mandment, or will you try to knock 1t
out and disbelieve Jesus? The book
says let God be the truth, but every
man liar.
Neither did you give us the next
verse, the 10Th this Is hard on some
that teach others to break any of the
hope all will read it.
Now tell which one of the ten COM
that cannot be kept, and
is there any sin that the ten command
ments does not condemn. And is there
any other law that condemns every
sin, If SO tell us what law, and whose
It is and where it is. You say God will
hold men accountable for their acts.
now what law are we tried by outside
Of the ten commandments. Then he
refers us to John 20:19, and says Mr.
Smith realizes that this is a strong
blow to the Sabbath question, and
says it is plain scripture. Let us no.
tice and see If this is q strong blow to
the Sabbath question. The 10th verse
reads as follows. then the same day
at evening being the first day OF the
week when the doors were shut where
the disciples were assembled for fear
Of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in
the midst and said peace be unto you g

to the officials in Canada to prepare
the troops there for war. In Europe
England counted upon France to help
her in case of a rupture with the Unit
cd States. These two nations were al
ready working together in attacking
Mexico. and It was believed that a

which was Emperor Napoleon Ill,

receptions i'm Boston and New York,
and the American press generally
praised his act. The attitude of the
nation in this matter was shown by
the thanks which the United States
congress rendered TO him. England
prohibited the expectation OF war ma

turn their own guns and powder
against them.

The New Congress Opens.

Meanwhile the first regular session
OF the Thirty-seventh congress, known
as the "war congress-" was convened.
Strangely enough, President Lincoln
made no mention whatever of the case
of Mason and Slidell, which became
known as the "Trent affair" in diplo-
matte annals. The people were anx-
ious TO Know what the attitude of the
government would be in this crisis.
They received some satisfaction from
the fact that the secretary of the navy
commended Captain Wilkes for the
seizure. This pleased the northern peo-
pie and gave hope to the war party in
England.
Lincoln's secretary Of state, william
II. Seward, had over a month in which
TO consider the case OF the United
States before the demand of Lord Rus
sci reached him, which was as late as
Dec. IS. The questions considered by
him were as follows:
First.-Were the persons named and
their supposed dispatches contraband
of war?
second.-Might Captain Wilkes law
fully stop and search the Trent for
these coLtraband persons and dis
patches?
Third.-Did he exercise that right in
lawful and proper manner?
Fourth.-IIaving found the contra
band persons on board and in presum-
ed possession of the contraband dis
patches, had he right to capture the
persons?
Fifth.-Did he exercise that right Of
capture I'm the manner observed and
recognized by the law Of nations?

Mr. Seward was prepared TO argue on
behalf OF his government. But there

EMPIRE BAG HERE TO STAY
In Present Stage II Is Thing Of
Beauty and Joy Of tho
Season. nrl,

There is no end to the variety or
form and color assumed by the ever
increasingly popular empire bag. In
its present stage IL is a thing OF beauty
and a JOY OF the season, though, being
a child of Dame Fashion, Il cannot be
a Joy forever.
You have no idea how much money
can be centered on the development or
these handsome and thoroughly charm
ing envelopes. Costly gilt ornaments
are seen on many of the more elab-
crate ones, some of which are made
entirely OF gold, silver. copper OF steel
colored lace. Semi-precious stones
are used to carry out flower pat
tern or to highten the effect OF cons
yent!onal designs. Inside ere trap
pings of silver gold or ivory, tiny
vanity cases, mirrors. powder puffs,
lip pencils and the like.
Another idea that has caught the
fancy of the woman who counts NOT
cost, is an empire bag OF brocade,
either velvet or satin, to match her
hat or its trimmings. Usually this
hat is one OF the small bonnetllke
models edged with bands of fur, such
as moleslSin, Persian lamb, chinchiIla
or ermine. A band OF the fur outlines
the bag and the flap, which buttons
over envelope fashion. OF course, the
plainest Of autumn suits would as
sumo a smart tone when worn with
such ultra fashionable foibles..
Bags OF broadcloth OF the same ma.
terial as the suit have deep chenille
fringes around the sides and bot
toms, and correspondingly plain
mountings Of gun metal, old gold on
frosted silver
Any odd piece OF silk or velvet
picked up on the remnant counter may
DO transformed into a strikingly hand
some empire bag in an afternoon. And
there Is splendid chance for a dis.
play OF individuality.

were two points OF weakness in the
case of the United States Captain
Wilkes had not received definite in
structions from his superiors TO make
the seizure. Being in the vicinity OF
the movements of Mason and SlIdell
and knowing where to locate them. he
decided TO make the seizure as an act
OF hostility to the Confederate states.
His failure TO seize the ship upon
which the contraband persons and dis
patches were found was another point
of weakness. These considerations led
TO a disayowal Of the act of Wilkes
after the British demand (dlplomatical-
