OBSERVANCE
OF SABBATH
TIE FOURTH COMMANDMENT Is THE
THEME At THE FIRST n.E.
CHURCH SUNDAY NIGHT

The Methodist church was filled
to overflowing Sunday evening,
the subject of the pastors sermon
ut that time being the fourth of a
series of talks that Rev. Hollett is
making on the Ten Command
ments. The speaker inhis sermon
brought out the thought, that out:
side of the really moral side Of the
matter and the reverence that
should be given the Sabbath, there
entered the purely physical. That
from the man to the machine, it
was absolutely necessary that one
day in seven should be given over
to change of thought and rest; the
pace that killed, was one that took
up every day in the week and al
lowed no time for Sabbath ,observ-
ance.

Tie Ever Seeking sf nal fer Things

"The Signs Of the Times in
the Religious World" will be the
subject at St. Peters next Sun
day evening.
The thoughts Of the sermon
will bring out the spirit Of rest
lessness in the mind Of the day
and the ever seeking by the peo-
pie Of a religion other than that
taught by the church. Philan-
thropy, social reform ETC., take
the place of religious thought
and the minds Of many. On the
other hand comes the human side,
the Christ Exalted-the Divine
side of the Christian religion.

LOCAL BOYS WIN
FROM BERTh0LD
TEAM Epevu0Pinc N eoeD oRD0-
GOES 10 CulBEl1sQN A WEEK
FR0n SATURDAY

Williston High and Berthold
tossed the ball at Gates Opera
House Saturday evening and
when the end came the score
stood twenty eight to twelve IN
favor Of the local team. There
was not the slightest doubt OF
the ultimate result after the
first ten minutes Of play and
while Berthold has an excellent
team, they were outplayed by
their opponents at every stage
of the game.
In the first half Williston ac-
cumulated fourteen scores to
Bertholds seven and in the last
half the home boys took down
another fourteen and Berth0ld
five. A number of fowls were
called, several on the locals but
all were purely technical errors.
Every one Of the locals put up
a splendid game but honors of
the evening should 60 to Mckay
who played a most brilliantly de-
fensive game, covering two men
for the greater part Of the even
ing and giving his running mate
Jennison, chance to get into
the play and shoot baskets. 1t
was McKay's playing that enable
Williston to shut out the Berthold
forwards. In getting goals from
field, Hardaway carried off hon.
ors, getting a total Of six.
The team as a whole showed
much better form than in the
Culbertson game and with proper
practive should be able. to hold
their own with the best in the
state. The team goes to Culbert-
son week from Saturday for
a return game with the Montana
boys and it is expected that they
will meet Minot some time to-
wards the latter part Of the
month. -.
The Williston line up; r. F.
Hardaway sub McGahey, l.. F.
Harris, sub Ross, Center Hanley,
Glass sub, R. G. Jennison, l..
G. Mckay sub Craven.
Larger attendance at these
games would be appreciated by
the Athletic Association ;s every
gone so far has resulted in
defect.
