is still Sabbath fer the people OF
God, or this can not be true. He says
Sunday is not the Sabbath, and the
reason he observes the first day for
rest and Worship is first OF all because
Jesus rose on the first day and he
appeared to his disciples on that day,
and because the holy spirit came down
on that day. Now please tell where
the scriptures tell us to do so for
these reasons. Is not the Catholic
church the first one to give these same
reasons? Now, If the book tells us to
observe it for these reasons this
would be sufficient, but II net we know
it is by the commandments Of man.
Then he says last, but not least, the
only day he can find mentioned where
the church gathered for worship on
the hrst day. Let us see if they did
meet to worship on the Sabbath. He
refers US to Acts, 30 will refer him
to Acts. Acts 1927, here they read
every Sabbath day: now verse AZ they
preach to them the next Sabbath, and
verse Al again they teach or" the Sab

verse, again they worship on the.
Sabbath. Again in chapter IS and 4
verse, he reasons with them every
Sabbath day, for a year and six
months, as shown in verse II This
ought to settle this point. that their

bath You ask for a single verse

Smith Answers Pierson.

...- .-E- Snltn Answers SlSTyOn. ~,
Editor Courier viii you kindly
give me a little space to answer my
friend. Mr.. Pierson?
He makes some true admissions.
He says Saturday is the Sabbath, and
1T never was changed from the sew
enth day to the first day. Then the
Lords blessings are still on the
seventh day for he never transferred
it to the first day. He says he be-
lieves that the seventh day is the Sab
bath and that the reason he does not
observe It is because he is not oc-
cupied with a shadow, and refers us
Colossians 26:16.' Now why does he
not 70 to verse IA? This verse tells
us that 1t was the handwriting of or
dinances that was done away and
nailed to the cross. 1t consisted in
meats, drink and new moon and Sab
bath days, notice it does not say the
Sabbath day. Tell me where there
was any such feast day in the law OF
the ten commandments! Not any,
all plain, positive commandYen
Then go to Ephesians 2:14-15 verses.
And here is the same proof. Then go
to Nehemiah 1881, 33, and the same
list again. Then he refers us to
Hebrews the fourth chapter. This
chap pier is speaking Of the Sabbath,
land this chapter settles the question
with me. why did you not mention
the fourth verse? This mentions the
seventh day, and why not the eighth
verse? This plainly says that If Jesus
had given them rest, or d Sabbath he
would have spoken Of another day.
Surely IL he had given us another day
he would have Informed us of It, and
why not mention the ninth verse; 1t
says there remaineth rest, or a Sab

London. March 15.-While Premier
Asquith and the committees repre-

ators hold their conferences without
making any appreciate progress, the
suffering throughout the country in
creases hourly. More than four mil
lion people are already affected by
the strike and every organized relief
fund is hard pressed taking care of
its dependents.
The miners, themselves, in COM
munities where they can make good
terms with the owners, are becoming
restless and if there is not a quick
change in the situation many are like
ly to desert the main body and re-
turn to work.
In the Weekly Pioneer, Kier Har-
die. the Socialist leader, commenting
on the absence of disorder says:
''This shows how complete the dis
cipline among the miners is and how
worthy they were of enlistment in
the first great battle for human
emancipation. 1t is desirable that
this discipline be maintained until the

The recent introduction of a bill in
the legislature making it unlawful to
give or receive a tip, abs brought con-
sternation to the vast army of walters
and f1unkies to whom New York and
it's half million of daily visitors pay
tribute estimated at from So, 00O, 600 to
$40, 000, 900 a year. If it becomes OPP
erative the bill will compel the big
hotels like the Waldorf Astoria, the
Ritz-Carlton, Plaza, Knickerbocker,
Astor, st. Regis and the fashionable
restaurants like Delmonicos and Sher-
rvs TO pay their walters salaries AS
it is now, many of the walters not
only waive the question of salary but
it is said pay to get their positions. as
well as hold them. In the establish
ments just named the tips range from
SIS to $3.50 a week, giving the menials
with the itching palms an income as
large and sometimes larger than that
of the officers of many fairly good siz-
ed corporations. In the small hotels
and restaurants the tips are proper
tionately as large.
The bill is not aimed at the wait
ers alone but at the bell hops, porters,
