People are no longer satisfied with
the old Sabbath OF quietness and
worship. They want new day,
different sort of day. Paul describes
the citizens and strangers of Athens
as spending their time in nothing
else but either to tell or to hear some
new thing" They wanted new gods,
new doctrines. People today are de-
manding a new Sunday in place OF
the peaceful, worshipful day that
came down from their fathers. Ath-
letics, moving pictures, excursions,
entertaining, have made inroads up
On the old-fashioned Sunday. Con-
necticut has needed the modern de-
mand and has repealed her blue laws
OF 500 years standing. Most OF
these were already dead letters. It
has been many day since Connec-
ticut man was afraid to kiss his wife
on a Sunday, or since Connecticut
young people dared not take walk
On Sunday afternoon. But those
of us who were brought up to respect
the sancity of the Sabbath can't help
but feel the tide is running in the
wrong direction.-Leslie's.

4 Message From Russia

distress. His home is in Petrograd,

tinues TO cause much bloodshed ev-
ery day. While DR.. Raud has been
away from the land of his birth for
several years, yet his people still live
at Petroerad, and he is thoroughly
conversant with conditions as they
exist in that city.
Dr.. Raud, himself, was in line for
Prime Minister of Russia. one of the
most coveted Offices in that large ma

Tomorrow afternoon at the Ma

My Neighbor

The Bible has commanded me te
Love thy neighbor as thyself,' and
then comes the question, who is
my neighbour" and the reply is that
every man and every woman is my
neighbor. The heather in darkest
africa and tho inhabitants OF the
small islands Of the sea are as much
My neighber and entitled to my com
PASSION and dove as. the man or wo,
1Aan who occupies the house next te
thine. ''!f
{ But today 2 sam especially interes-
Ted in my lneighboring countries,
England, France, Italy, Canada, and
the other nations bound by bonds
and vows to help America win this
war. / love the part they have play
ed in the battle of nations, the
wounds they have received, and the
forbearance they have shown. Els
pecially do l admire Italy. l want
one Of my characteristics to be that
which Italy has shown-stick-to-
Inverness. The grit and persever-
ance of warriors of old have not sur
passed that of the men of Italian
birth.
;. Italy is my neighbor and she needs
3men, and help and services, and she
needs them now. One thing she
needs badly is Y. M. G. A. Huts. Her
soldiers have had nothing to relieve
the strain of fighting and the respon-
sibilities placed upon them. And yet
they stick and fight and die. My
:neighbors dying without murmuring.
And while I am learning to love
my Italian neighbors, whom l have
never seen, ask the neighbors
whom l have known, all my life, to
contribute, not of blood and home
:tomforts, but of their worldly goods,
10 war relief, and the ones who have
,;ahe most money give, the least to the
:allevfatian of pain and distress. Dur
!sng these many years I have thought
sihey were good people andsthat their
hearts were warm and sympathetic,
but now I can see plainly that they
are Pharisees.
They believe only in personal
adornment and qualification, and
when they give of their means, it is
always in public where they will Gre
ate the impression that they are pos
sessed of a philanthropic spirit. They
entertain their friends because they
feel that they are under obligation
to them. An invitation to dinner
must be repaid by an evening at the
theatre; always giving in order to
receive.
The war has made many changes
in geography, in science, in intel
lect, but mostly in men. One of the
greatest and saddest changes it has
brought to me is my estimation of
my neighbor. Do 1 dare say l think
less of him because he refuses to
give, according to his ability, to war
relief work? Yes, without hesita-

her gains largely on end runs ana
trick plays.

ed with q ten yard run around thel-
right, Leonard interfering finely. II
the third quarter, Dunn clrcIed the
Centreville players right for sec
ond touchdown, but Flowers, who
had kicked a goal after the first ton
chdown, could not overcome the han
dicap of tn ewind, and the angle a
which he had to make the secon'.
try.
Centreville scored in the fourth
quarter largely by line buclling.
