The evangelistic campaign under
the leadership Of Rev. Gypsy Smith,
,Jr., closed after four weeks dura-
ton. The campaign was the result
Of the laynen's movement, support
ed by the Protestant Churches in the
City, making one, of the most for
midable combinations that has ever
been behind a religious movement
in this city. It was an alliance, of
the land and naval forces, red cross
contingents and marine corps of the
militant host, and from every con-
ceivable standpoint was a grand
success. A large tent pitched on up
per King Street was crowded night
after night to hear the Rev. Gypsy
Smith. and we might ask ourselves
the question, what does it prove,
this eacerness and interest mani
tested on the part of the people to.
hear this evangelist? Does it prove
2 vital interest in popular contem-
poraneous religion? Is it because
mems ears have become dulled by
'Shop talk" of the pulpit? Have
they become weary Of the worn plat
itude and professions of piety and
assumed mannerisnls Or is it be-
cause Gypsy Smith. like Jesus, spoke
in the colloquial tongue of the COM
mon people in proclaiming the Cos
pei, and the common people heard
him gladly?
We certainly covet this mans abil-
ity to make people listen. The
word of the Lord that comes to him
is not Comfort We, comfort We" bit
"arousc We, arouse We" and repent.
His aim and work is to attract The
attention of the needless to the
claims of the gospel; to call sim
ners to repentance, and he does ,not
hesitate to call sin by its proper
name, and eXcoriates hypocrisy. He
meets life on the level, and proves
that the gospel message is for no
particular class; the millionaire and
hobo" alike. must repent and &C
cept Jesus Christ as their personal
Savious. It has been said that the
circus is the most democratic of
gatherings, but Gypsy Smiths evan
gelistic meetings are more democra
tic than a circus ssas he appeals ito
the great mass of people. she leads,
men, and women to Christ by the.
gospel message into new lives OF
holiness, happiness and ihelpfulness.
He leads them by the "old blood
stained way to the cross" believe

THE SUNDAY LAW

Like the appearance Of the seven
teen-year-locusts, agitations Tor the
enforcement of the Sunday laws OF
states and cities are in evidence peri
odically. Last June the authorizes
Of Virginia vera called upon to handle
this yexatious matter. Nearly one
hundred persons were summoned to
annear in the police court OF the city
of Alexandria TO answer the charge
If conducting business on Sunday. :;
The cases were disposed of by steam
roller procedures, since which time
nothing had been heard of the custer
law nor violations OF the Sunday
laws. until last Monday when man
from the land Of Homer, was ar
raigned at the instance of nelghboh
who charged him with violating the
law by conducting business on the
) previous Sunday.
During the past third Of a century
attempts have been made to enforce
the sdrasti Getty law against work OF
any class on Sunday. When appeals
havesbeen taken to the Corporation
Court the action of the Police Court
has generally been set aside, and
within a short tire normal condl-
f;oos Were resumed.
It seems we are to have this issue
twice during the year 1916, as enc
.$of the Police Commissioners at the

Tie l.azg Gas.ing the past thirty
odd years has published enough ar
ticles on this subject to form a good
sized book, and We have no inten-.
ton Of recapitulaiing what it has
said SO often, hence, there is but one
suggestion to make at this time, al
though We stated the same, substan-
tally, four months ago. Orthodox
Jews, members of the Seventh Day
Adventist Church and others who
have been fined in different states in
the union for working on Sunday,
and who have appealed their cases
to the higher courts, have invariably
won, the judgment Of the lower tri-
bunals having been set aside.
Many of the grocery stores OF AL
eXandria at present are conducted
by Israelites.' Should they be ar
rested and plead that they observe
the seventh instead of the first day
of the week, as one did laSt June,
what can be done about it? Should
the accused be fined and he carry his
case to higher court. the Judgment
of the Police Court, would undoubt-
edly be set aside. as has been the
case in nearly every state of the
union. The Polf:e Court will have
to rule on the question-What is &
work of necessity? And until final
ruling has been made by the higher
courts the question will undoubtedly
continue to come up from time to
time.

given by the Scimantian Society
the Junior girls gave a most pleas
ing and unusual program last Fri
day afternoon. The windows were
darkened and the only light was
the soft glow Of many candles over
the stage, which was decorated
with bridal roses in pink and
white. the class colors.
Their poster had a pear and two
slices OF watermelon or it. Since
the program was given we have
decided that it meant "a pair Of
sweethearts. 1t was the presen-
tation OF a dream OF a man who is
to be married on the next day.
After he has gone over all his old
sweethearts Mary" his bride
appears to him and coniesses that
she has had a great many sweet
hearts also. As each character
was mentioned a Junior girl dress
ed for the part appeared in a frame
at tie back Of the stage. After
this the curtain fell. The next
was the wedding tableau which
was truly sublime The maid OF
honor was beautiful and so was
the best man, the brides maids were
lovely, and so were theushers, and
the flower girls were adorable. The
bride was too beautiful to describe
and the groom was more handsome
than is at all becoming in man.
The old minister looked very real
as he held his hands out over the
bride and groom. In the red glow
Of light it was truly spectacular. |
No one was expecting the ingenious
Juniors to do anything ordinary,
and consequently were not disap-
pointed, and for the same reason
were only moderately surprised at
the excellence Of the program.
