March 70 a Holiday

Since Maryland Day, March 25, falls
on Sunday, Governor Harrington
has issued proclamation declaring
Monday, March 26, holiday.
The Governor said that. though the
Legislature, after making Maryland
Day holiday, failed to provide that
the following Monday should be a
holiday in the event the day fell on
Sunday, he nevertheless believes such
was its Intention and that the failure TO
do so was merely an oversight. At
torney-General Richie agrees with him
in this view.

The Gunder MeetInos.

Evangelist Gunder, a. the Baptist
church last evening. spoke to a crowd
ed house from the text in Numbers IA
He said in part:
Moses sent twelve spies into ca
naan. They all saw a land flowing
with milk and honey. Ten OF them
saw in addition wonderful giants from
whom they fled in terror. Caleb and
Joshua said to go on. They believed
in the power of Cod. But the Israel
ties We're like the church today when 1t
comes up against a hard proposition.
They were scared to death. They
thought the giants were coming. They
fled in a riot. They even had their
collins prepared.
Great men have been made great
by the things they met up with and
had TO do. We admire Jesus Christ
because of the wonderfully sacriticial
life he led We admire the wonderful
character Of Paul. He was one of the
most courageous men that ever lived.
Whether in or out of the bible. we bow
to sacrificial characters. But how
much Of it is in US?
There are giants on every hand in
this campaign. To meet them we
must have men. So case hardened is
the world today that we must tear the
bark off to make religion take 9th
erwise we can't vaccinate them.
The church today is in an extrem-
ity. 1t is too much man made
church 1t Is being run by the world.
