Mr.. Atwood was one of the best known
men in Michigan, having been active
for years in Republican politics and in

do / think the Michigan lawmakers
thought much of their acts when they
made Sunday laws and fixed the fine
at $40 maximum for desecration.
Certain it is the judges enforcing the
when they made their fines from to
law didn't seem to think much of them
10 cents. AS Christian pastors we
have better ground to stand on, and l
for one will insist upon it-remember
the Sabbath day. Christ church is
open four times on Sunday-ample OPP
portunity for all to do the gentlemanly
and ladylike thing, pay pious respect
to the Father for all He has done for
US.
There is more. After plans have
been made to pay respectful worship
to God, and some clean pastime is
selected, the contribution should be
greater in the house of God-not 10
cents for Him in the morning and so
cents for a stock company at night.
Reverse that order. The act will be
worth it.
And there is another condition that
needs reforming, the Sunday business.
We think we cannot exist unless GER
tain places are open for our pleasure.
We can. 1t was once thought grocer
les should be open few hours; now
we close them, and at six every day,
and whole afternoon a week in the
summer. Nobody has died as a conse-
quence. There is no excuse or reason
for the habitual opening of these
places which have not yet come into
the reform. l don't except any bust
ness whatever. If it were tried we
should soon like it as we do the clos
ing of grocery and dry goods stores.
The only people l am sorry for are
those that must work in hotels and
eating houses, and reform can be in
stituted for them. / can tell of one
hotel where a few years ago nothing
but bread and milk could be obtained
for Sunday suppers. The proprietor
and help demanded a little time to
themselves on the rest day. No one
starved.
Let us tie ourselves to the two eter-
nal principles involved in our texts
Gods person and honor, first--our tenn
poral and eternal welfare, second.
This is not whim of men. 1t is the
word of God. A pressing need of our
day is the diversions of our time into
proper proportions. In these proper
tions let there be one for God. We
know which it should be.

Owosso Lodge No. SS, Independent
Order of Odd Fellows and Colfax Lodge
No. 436 have voted to consolidate,
taking the number SS, both bodies
being unanimous. in the action which
has been under consideration for q
year or more. The action must be
sanctioned by the Grand Lodge at its
meetin in October and q committee
committee consisting of Victor Kittle,
Luther Sprinkle, G. F. Terry. E. F.
Wilson, E. u. Osborn and Claude
Quigley has been appoiL ted to work
out the details of the consolidation.
The first meeting of the consolidated
lodge will then be held for organization
and celebration program will be
arranged.
The consolidation will give the lodge
nearly 500 members and will result in
q large number of persons joining who
have held off hoping for the union of
the lodges.
Colfax lodge was formed twenty
three years ago by members of Owosso
lodge after disagreement in the lodge
Both lodges have prospered curing all
these years but it has finally been de
cided that one lodge organization could
accomplish more than the two and still
not have an unwieldly body.
Both lodges own property but the
combined lodge will undoubtedly oc-
cupy the Colfax temple and rent or sell
the present No. SO hall, the third floor
over The Owosso Times Office, unless
the Temple can be disposed of at a
good price which might make possible
the erection of smaller building than
the Temple on another site.
A large class of candidates will be
initiated on the night of the reunion of
the lodges and grand lodge officers and
prominent Odd Fellows from several
parts Of Michigan will attend.
