SUNDAY GALL DAY SINGlNGS,"
DINNERS AND DECORATIONS =.
BY Dan Mcvann-

Verify am deeply grieved TO see
the cause of my Lord destroyed by
those who claim to be friends CT the
lowly Nazarene Again, at the risk
of sacrificing the good will of some
Indifferent ones, file protest against
that abominable, God-dishonoring Gus
tom of "all-day singings", dinners and
decorations on the Holy Sabbath day.
Any one with "jay bird sense" and
with the eyes of mole can see
that these things are destroying the
Sunday schools in our country. The
Putnam County Sunday School As
sociation has passed resolutions
against these dissertations. The
most Jealous leaders in all of the
churches are pronouncedly against
them. Yet there are those who arc
willing to sacrifice the purchase of
Christ's blood for loaves and fishes.
Why do the people go in such throngs
tothese Sunday amusements? Just
simply to have somewhere to go, to
go to meet friends and a very few to
hear the "old time songs. Some Of
this would be allowable even on the
Sabbath day was it not for the fact
that tn Sunday school and church
which they left at home are dying for
the want Of their presence. Suppose
that all the peole should do as these
community trotters do what would be-
come of the Sunday-school and the
church? What sort Of a church, Sum
day-school, community, would yours be
If everyone in it was just like you, and
spent Sunday after Sunday in search
for "a big crowd and a dinner on
the ground? While the people who
allow themselves to be decoyed
away from their duty by these things
are to blame, the greatest sinners Of
all is the leader who allows the devil
to believe that they are engaged in a
very religious exercise, when in re-
ality they are only furnishing a crowd
to hear the harangue Of some broken
down speaker, the spiel OF some Jack
leg preacher or the sanctimonious
voice OF some song leader who can't
get a crowd any other way. II these
would-be leaders would 60 swimming

find some more printable way to serve
the Lord.

thing for this town. It might not in

up the sticks that are lying around
That would be great help alone

these repais are made Maybe the
house has needed a new coat Of paint
for a long time. Perhaps new cur
tains are needed at the front windows.
And the inside Of the house is quite
as important as the outside-is more
important, for 1t is on the inside yeu
live and where visitors get their real
impression Of you and of the town.
Maybe before you get throsgh, If you
will really look about you, there will be
several things that can be made to
look vastly better with the aid Of

Collectively the effect on this town
will be great. There is no economy
in letting things run down and putting
repairs OF. A huase that needs re-

that is going down hill is losing value,

Let's make this better looking town;
and let's begin, like charity, at home.

result of His giving for us. His sac,

full Of inspiration.
''China" and Virginia School" by
Mrs. Dowen was very interesting,s show
ing US how China has advanced in civ,
ilizatiou in the past few years and is
rapidly giving up idol worship and ac-
cepting the Christian religion. These
schools, one Of which is the Virginia
School, are having a wonderful influ-
ence They are ednosting and sending
out eachers--trained men and women,
of their own nationality, who are pro-
claiming the gospel Of Christ.

Hungarian Diplomat Said to De en-

Tinted Press Leased Wire Service]
RASLE, Switzerland, Jan. 70
Hungarian political circles are SAID
to favor Austria concluding sep
arate peace agreement. Franz JOSEF,
however, is obdurate. He refuses 10
listen to the opinion of Hungarian
diplomats, but desires to win the
kaiser over to an agreement Tor a
common peace. Count Tisza, the
Hungarian premier, will soon leave
for Berlin, messages assert, on
..highlv important mission"
From the same sources comes the
information that mobs In the QUA
monarchy have destroyed placards
calling out the last reserves.
Baron Won RaJecz, according to as
matches from Berlin has just re-
turned from a conference with the
kaiser at the battle front. Count
Tisza visited Berlin short time ago.
and It was reported at that time he
made a demand on the German gen.
oral staff that protection of Hungary
from the threatened invasion nv the
Russians should receive more con-
sideration.
The report that Count Tisza is
again to visit Berlin, If true, Is re-
earded as Significant. AS president
of the Hungarian council, Ttsza Is In
!. nosition to lay before the kaiser
not onJy the attitude Of the people OF
the dual monarchy, but also OF nun
gary itself.
