When Remembrance painted the most
famous of all his works, the picture
commonly known as THE Night Watch"
which hangs in the Royal Museum at
Amsterdam, it caused him a vast amount
of trouble. There are upward of score
of portraits in the big canvas. and each
man contributed the same amount to
pay for il. Naturally each wanted to be
quite as prominent as his fellows, and
those who are shown in the background
made a tremendous row because the
artist dared to group his figures with the
thought of art composition, rather than
of their Importance.
Really it is not a night scene at all
Sir Joshua Reynolds is responsible for
this misstatement being deceived by
Rembrandts originality in handling light
and shade. 1t shows the gathering of the
civic guard of Amsterdam at the sound
of the drum calling them to practice.
Rembrandt was one of the few masters
of painting who had an opportunity to
be extravagant. He spent lavishly. and
gave away money with equal indiffer-
ence. He paid outrageous prices for pic
tnres. when he should have paid his
debts Like most great geniuses of art,
he died poor and neglected
His real name was Rembrandt Har-
manzOOn van Rim. and he was born at
Leyden in 1861, the son of well-to-do
miller
He was his own teacher. In his early
days in Leyden, Rembrandt painted and
etched the people about him. seeking
character and the picturesque. whether
ne found il in distinguished folk or in
beggars and crippIes. He constantly
used his mother as a model. He painted

self: not from vanity. but to master
every form of expression. to learn how
to represent the human face from within.
His methods We're original during his
whole career. Sometimes he would take
the handle of the brush and drag IL over
the fresh pain to give the touch he
wanted to the hair or the beard. Some
times ne would scoop up thick layers of
paint with the palette knife and stick
them on the canvas.
Rembrandt developed slowly: but at

Yesterday afternoon Evangelist X. c.
Russell. OF Chicago, delivered an inter-
esting and forceful address on the SUBJ
ject: THE Sabbath-Is 1t Saturday or
Sunday?"
After saying that notwithstanding the
fact that Seventh-day Adventists were
accused of making a hobby of the Sab
bath question, yet, not one sermon had
been preached on this subject at this
long encampment, he said:
who made the Sabbath? Let the be-
loved Disciple John reply: In the be-
ginning was the Word. and the Word
was with God. and the Word was God.
All things were made by Him. and with
out Him was not anything made that
hath been made The Word is Christ
He made all things. This is proven. also.
by Colossians, i:l3-17, and Hebrews, lila
Therefore. Christ made the Sabbath. and
that being so, the Sabbath that He made
at creation. the seventh day Sabbath,
must be the Christian Sabbath today.
When was II made? In Gen. ii:l-3
We are informed that il was made after
the six days of creation, therefore, it was
not first produced. as some now contend,
in the wilderness Of Sinai.
Scripture Is Quoted.
How was IT made? The same scrip
ture informs us that 1t was made by God
blessing it, and resting on il. and sancti-
flying it. From the labor OF creation He
rested on the seventh day. then blessed
IL. and then sanctified il. This made il
the Sabbath.
"Out of what was IL made? II was
made out Of the seventh day. Therefore.
no other day by any possibility can ever
be the Sabbath. The seventh day is the
Sabbath, and must ever remain the Sab
bath, because the Creator. Jesus Christ.
made the Sabbath out or the seventh
day. And as He Rever made another
Sabbath. the seventh day still continues

MAYOR MOTT GIVES
VIEWS ON SUBJECT
Says Growth of City Does
Not Mean Increase in
Drinking Places

OAKLAND. Aug. 11.-Mayor Mott,
Commissioner Turner and Chief of Po-
lice Petersen held a conference this
afternoon in regard to the proposed
amendments to the liquor ordinance.
progressive reduction In the num-
Der of saloons. the eradication of all
inner partitions in such places the
abolition of card playing for money.
drinks or anything else of value; the
elimination of side or family en-
frances. the prevention of the sale of
liquor to women except with bona
fide meal and the creation of liquor
zones were among the important
changes considered
Commissioner Turner has proposed
that the city be divided into zones,
different areas and none in the resi-
Dental zones. In the business sections
a certain number of licenses may be
specified.
MAYOR ISSUES STATEMENT
With respect to amending the ordi-
nance, the mayor has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
The welfare commission. appointed
some time ago by the citx government.
was given police powers and ample
authority to seek information by ac-
cess to all places within the circle of
its desire to investigate.
Upon receipt and consideration of
its very full report, the council, aided
by the chief of police, began the con-
struction of an ordinance in line with
its recommendations. This work was
at hand when public attention was
focused upon the subject by the Sar-
gent and Masters affairs, and the agi-
tation which they have caused is not
at all responsible for the city govern
ment's interest in the matter, since
1t was already considering measures in
the new ordinance which would render
IL unlikely or impossible that such vio-
lations of morality could happen.
CAREFUL CONSIDERATION URGED
When the full council has dealt with
the subject in considering the new
ordinance, IL will be made clear to the
peopl that the future growth of Oak
land will not be accompanied by a
corresponding growth in the number of
saloons. nor that q larger population
means a larger freedom of operation
in the saloons that will remain. 1t is
"a subject that required months of In
vestigatton by the welfare commission
for careful consideration by the coun-
Gil, the city attorney and the chief of
police"
Resolutions that no saloon licenses
be hereafter granted in Piedmont ave
nue. were adopted by the city commits
sioners at the request of the residents
of that district, who filed a petition
carrying SIT names of property owners.
