IDEALS OF SABBATH oBsERv.
ANcE.

In a recent address before the New
York branch Of the Women's Nation
al Sabbath Alliance. the Rev. John
Timothy Stone. pastor OF the Fourth
Presbyterian Church in Chicago. said
that he could see many indications
that the pendulum has swung Its
length In the reaction from the old
time rigors OF keeping the Sabbath
and that now there Is In this country
an awakening consciousness OF the ir-
reparable losses entailed by ignoring
the unique provision Of Sunday. the
opportunity to worship God. He spoke
Of the splendid gift OF occasional soli-
tude. the need OF every soul that would
do constructive work In the world.
and Of the delight OF identifying ones
self with the will OF God for the up
lift Of man: and he urged his hear.
ers. in their advocacy OF Sabbath OBJ
servance. to present these positive
aspects Of its great values and incen'
tives in a spirit not OF denunciation
or OF antagonism but OF optimism and
sympathy. the spirit natural to those

WOMEN'S FASHIONS
LEAD MEN TO CRIME
Evangelist Nicholson Denounces
Dancing Also as Menace
to Christianity

Women's modern fashions cause young
men to commit many crimes which they
would never otherwise commit, in the
opinion of the Rev. William p, Nicholson
the Irish evangelist. In the Darby taber-
nacle today he asailed Popular Amuse'
ments." Tomorrow Darby and neighbOr-
ing Delaware County towns will hear the
evangelist preach. and his partner, j, r.
Hemminger, sing, for the last time In this
revival.
The preacher struck at bad friends, and
declared that no Christian should marry
a non.Christian. He said he would never
perform a marriage ceremony for such a
couple. Ministers who ofticiate at such
weddings he classed as accessories TO
crime"
''Men must shut their eyes very often
these days IL they would keep their souls
clean" he shouted Every vice has its
root in vision Young men commit many,
many crimes which they would not other
wise commit, because Of what they see,
The fashions of today tend toward the
suggestion OF sensuality,"
what friendships shall we make as
Christians?' he then asked. BE not
unequally yoked together with unbeliev-
ers Young woman, IL you are engaged
TO a young man and marry him in un-
belief, the curse Of God will be upon you,
An. there are IN this audience men and
women who have shed scalding tears over
the yoke that binds them to unbelief! A
Christian man has no right TO enter a
with an unchristian man, and
IL ne does he will find himself involved
i'm tricks that will blight his Christian
experience"
Dancing, card playing and the theatre
were all assailed as instruments OF the
devil" You cannot run a clean theatre
and make it pay" he declared. Speaking
on dancing, Mr.. Nicholson said:
THE hardest persons to bring 10 Christ
are the dancing boy and girl There Is
no delight in the dance except IN the
OF the sexes. / do not say that
every girl who dances has evil thoughts,
but. In the name Of God, 1 beg you to
think Of the other person The fact that
you ask, Is il wrong? indicates doubt with
you, and whatsoever Is not of faith Is
SIN"
