catch any of the woodwork at all.

row escape from burning to death last
Thursday. The boy was playing in one
of the outbuildings where consider
able amount of paper and excelsior had
been thrown. He had some matches
in his pockets and, boy like, decided to
use them. But when the paper had
caught fire and the boy started to get
out he found the door closed and the
latch caught so he could not escape.
His cries and screams were heard by
his mother who rescued him. His face,
neck and arms were very badly burned.
Fortunately his clothing had not caught
fire. The boards of the building were
charred by the flames.

OPPOSE SUNDAY BILL
Seventh Day Adventists Pass Res0-
lutions of Objection

The meeting at the local Seventh Day
Adventist church Saturday resolved 1T
self into what might be termed a mass
meeting, when resolutions were passed
demonstrating against the proposed
Sunday legislation now before the
United States Senate. The resolutions
were brought before the congregation
by Thomas E. Pavey, elder of the
church, and were passed unanimously.
They read as follows:
Whereas, the Johnston Sunday bill,
now pending in the Senate of the United
States, Is religious in its character, in
that it Is designed to foster the relig-
ious observance of Sunday; and
Whereas, the exemption clause at
tached to one of the sections Of this
bill indicates most clearly its religious
character. by exempting from the ap-
plication of this section those who be-
long to a religious society which OBJ
serves some other day Of the week than
Sunday as Sabbath; and
Whereas, relfeious legislation is con-
trary both to the spirit and letter of
the constitution of the United States,
and if carried to its logical conclusion
means union. of church and state, and
the persecution of dissenters; therefore,
Resolved, That We respectfully, but
earnestly, demonstrate against the pas
sage of this bill, or any other bill re-
curing the observance of Sunday as a
rest day which may come before the
Senate"
Elder Pavey said the reason Seventh
Day Adventists are so vigorously op-
posed to the Johnston Sunday bill in
Congress is because the passage of it
would be the first step towards the
union of church and state.

a smile slowly gathered DER his coun-

lest he arouse the suspicious of the
