NEED MORE HELP
FOR PARCELS POST
POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT TO
PUT SYSTEM IN OPERATION
ON JANUARY 4.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 3.-Un-
der plans in course of preparation
by Postmaster General Hitchcock
a comprehensive system OF parcels
post will be placed in operation on
January !.
Hitchcock proposes to have COM
plete arrangements made for carry
ing any and all parcels within the
limit of weight through the mails
that may be posted on and after the
cate mentioned.
This means that extra help will
have to be hired, additional teams
secured, arrangements made with
the railroads for the transportation
of the freight, and precise instruc-
tions issued for the guidance of
postmasters and railway mail clerks.
AS the first step in the develop
ment of the system, Hitchcock will
create a board of postal officials
which will. ascertain how the express
companies do business and apply
the experience of those companies
to the satisfactory solution of the
problem.
The members of this board will
be men serving in the railway mail
department, postal inspection SER
vice, and finance division. 1t will
be their duty to divide the country
into zones, represented on apprOpri-
ate postal maps, and make a sched-
ule of charges therefor in accord
ance with the law. ~
In addition the board will arrange
for the equipment, determine the
number of horses and wagons that
may be. necessary, and recommend
the number of clerks necessary in
various offices to assure the prompt
carriag age of any parcels mailed.
Fortunately the postal service has
had experience in handling parcels.
For years it has been receiving and
delivering merchandise rated as
fourth class.
1t was not intended by congress
in the enactment of the parcels post
law to put the express companies
out of business. What the law
makers sought to do was to break
the "strangle hold" of express COM
panies upon the legitimate business
of the postal department..
1t is expected that the rates fixed
by the law will prove too high, but,
with a congressional commission to
investigate this subject, and the ex-
perience of few months, it is ex-
pected that a schedule of prices can
be fixed which will be satisfactory.
The commission consists of Sem
ators Briggs of New Jersey, Bris-
tow of Kansas and Bryan of Florida.
and Representatives Finley of South
Carolina, Lewis of Maryland, and
Gardner of New Jersey.
Postmaster General Hitchcock is
confident the service will be inaug-
urated without much more difficulty
and that it will be satisfactory to
the whole people who use it.
"After next January l the express
companies will no longer have mo-
nopoly for the shipping of small
packages" the postmaster general
said today. "The new parcels post
will then he in working order, and
ready to transport any package
weighing not more than II pounds.
"Of course, it is too early to pre-
dict just how much the express COM
panies will be affected. There is no
doubt, however, but that they will
have to wake up and pay more at
tention to improving of service than
they had to when a monopoly was
enjoyed"

Following is the complete address

Editor Courier:-In reply to Mr.
Pearson, on the Sabbath question, he
admitted that Saturday is the Sab
BATH" but states that "the Sabbath
was shadow of things to come; but
the body is of Christ. (Col. 2:16-1O.
Now let us read the two verses
which he referred to: Let no man
therefore Judge you in meat, or drink,
or in respect of holiday of the new
moon, or of the Sabbath days. Which
are a shadow Of Things to come; but
the body is of Christ" Yet he claims
and says, Il am not occupied with a
shadow"
Now as a matter Of fact he evident
ly is occupied with shadow Of the
real Sabbath instead Of the real Sab
bath day. The shadow of the Sabbath
Is judged by man for to. take place as
a Sabbath because Jesus rose from
the dead But the real Sabbath is
commanded by God Exodus 31:13-18)
1t is Gods writing Exodus 32:16) the
same God commanded that" thou shalt
have no other gods before me Exodus
20:3). When Christ in body on eartn
he kept the Sabbath, but not the shad-
ow Of things that have come with
some protested Christians. Now, Mr..
Pearson, when you meet man, would
you recognize the shadow, or the man
You evidently will recognize the man,
but not his shadow. Then may l ask
you, why do you recognize the shad-
ows Of things that have come, instead
of Gods written commandment? What
did jeremiah say to the people? In
part is as follows: Hear O earth; be
hold. I will bring evil upon this people
even the fruit of their thoughts, be-
cause they have not hearkened unto
my words, nor to my law, but rejected
it." der. $40. "The grass withereth
the flower fadeth; but the word OF our
God shall stand forever. Isaiah 40:8)
Now, Mr.. Pearson, if the law is not
binding on Christians, then why did
Christ keep the law, or magnify MAT.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1912-02-27

5:21,22), or refer to the law by say
inc. What is written in the law? How
readest thou?" duke 10:25-28. We
should not profess Christianity when
we are not a Christlike person; a
Christian will comply with the law as
Christ did, or as God commanded it.;
when we comply with the law we are
under the grace for complying with
the law, as Jesus did; which Is right
eousness.
Now if Christ is the end of the law
then why did he say go We, therefore,
and teach all nations, to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded
you" (Mat. 2S:19-20D "@
But as a matter Of fact If We believe
not Moses writings ihow shall We be-
lieve Jesus words?" UChn 5:46.47D
Jesus accuseth the people by saying,
"Ye reject the commandment of God,
that we may keep your own mark
7:9). Please give me the chapter and
verse that says that. Gods word says
ye also are become dead to the law CT
Christ" (Now it must be Gods word
not mans word)
Now as to the Acts" They do not
all comply with the word of God in
full. will quote verse from Ezekiel
4G:1: THUS saith the Lord, Gcd:
the gate of the inner court that
looketh toward the east shall be shut
the six working days; but on the Sab
bath it shall be opened, and in the
day of the new moon 1t shall be open
ed" Now, will quote verse OF
Acts 2:4G, which Is as follows, And
the continuing daily with one accord
in the temple and breaking bread from
house to house. did eat their meat
with gladness and singleness OF
heart" Now, let the reader deter
mine if the Acts" are Alright. or not,
when compared with the word Of God?
Notice breaking bread from mouse to
house. We meet every meal time and
break bread in the house by the
table. But they seemed to be a break
ing bread from house to house. Now
If they meant the passover, then 1t
should be eaten in one house. not
abroad out of the house. EXODUS
12:46)
In conclusion l wish to say that, the
law of the Lord is already being per-
feet as revealed through Christ's needs
neither subtractions nor additions nor
permits of either MAT. 5:1719; 2S:2O
deuteronomy 4:2.)
It is very grievous to see that some
are so low in the scale of existence
that they chose rather to obey mans
command instead Of their heavenly
fathers commandment. AS to the
disciples come together to break
bread, does not make it weekly Sab
bath, or nullify it; but the passover
or feast by ordinance to eat unleaven
ed bread is on the first day. Please
see Exodus 12:14-15.
Very truly,
