Jewish Sabbath in its outward form
on the exact day Of the week is not
binding upon Gentle Christians

is made dead TO the letter OF the
law OF Moses (Deut. 7:4). but the
principle Of the Sabbath is older
than even the law of Moses and is
as binding upon the Christian be-
lever as are the many other prin-
ciples which underlie the Mosaic
law. In its exact form, the sew
enth day. the observance Of the Sab
bath belongs to the old order and
not 10 the Christian order. Christ,
who rose from the dead (Rom- q:

week. and we, as Joined TO Christ,
are not under obligations TO the
Mosaic law, but to Christ. There
fore. the Lords day, the resurrec-
ton day, the first day Of the week
(Rev. 1:1O; John 21:2O; 1895;
Acts 27), is the day Of privilege. not
of obligation and is more sacred to
us than the Sabbath day of these
Jews. The Jews in Nehemiah's time
showed their contempt Of the Lords
day by making it a day of profit,
hence this exhortation which we see
set forth in this section. This
should be a warning and an exhor-
tation TO US in these days OF a sec
ularized Sabbath.

Folly Priesthood. WV 23-31). In
this section we see the priesthood
had even defled themselves with
women, and again this Nehemiah
entered upon a cleansing process

cardinal sins against which Nehe-
miah was battling.
". Summary: AS in Nehemiah's
time, so now, Sabbath dissertation IS
the surest road to national ruin, and
a large proportion Of our present
calamity can be traced to growing
irreverence for the Lords day
Jesus swept away the cobwebs of
Sabbath irreverence, but did not
tear down the house. He kept the
principle, but removed the barn
acles with which the Pharisees and
Jews had encountered it. Jesus
taught that the Sabbath was made

hand atrocity stories at Louvain,
Aerschot and Antwerp.
But in the midst of these gloomy
surroundings Mr.. Gibson retained
his sense OF humor and wrote a
number az admirable tales that fash
upon the pages of this great trag-
edy.
Perhaps one of the quaintest of
these stories is the one he tells of
the English butler who refused to
go to Jail until he had a new key
for his portmanteau. He was left
out Of the prison party accordingly
and when it was explained to the
keeper of the Jail that he had been
unavOidably detained but would be
along later, the jailer with the Teu-
tonic name and brain replied,
please tell him that he must be
here not later than 3 o'clock, or
he can't get in"

The preacher would be the last to claim that
X is by the wisdom and learning and eloquence of
the pulpit that the Church has been brought thus far
on her conquerng way. Far, far from IT,
church may be good church, despite limita-
lions in the pastor.
An unsatisfactory preacher Is no sufficient excuse
for absenting ones self from church
Speaking in behalf of the ministry we ask men
to go to church. to hear preacher? yes; as an in
ellectual exercise yes to hear the music? yes; but
mainly for the worship of God, for The confession
Of sin and for the purpose of aligning themselves
with the Church in all her varied mission and min
iStry 10 the world.
The attitude of the soul is a graver concern than
the altitude Of the sermon
And when all has been said, it still remains that
the pulpitS of South Bend are occupied by men of
godly life who are not sef-seekerS men of intel
lectual and spiritual gifts men whose supreme pas
sion is to help their fellows to know the truth.

A COMMON SENSE VICTORY.

OF course the pacifists have some
thing to gain by saying that it was
their votes which gave suffrage to
women in the state OF New York.
OF course the socialists have some
thing TO gain by saying that their
votes did 1t. Socialists and pacifists
have the same thing to gain; a rep
utation for common sense. But why
should anybody who is neither a
pacifist nor a socialist try 20 give
either or both of these groups the
credit for the suffrage victory in
New York? Be as conservative an
ti-suffrage as you please; Ihat is
your privilege. But don't let your
conservation keep you from seeing
that a man who is a pacifst and a
socialist and a suffragist might have
been a suffragist without being
either of the other lists. The great
mass of women who wanted the
vote were not actuated by any kind
of ism. They wanted the vote be-
cause they wanted the vote. Most
Of the men who voted to let them
have it did so because they thought
the women ought to have 1.-THE

The Millennium, Armageddon, and
Consideration of the Present War

By ALFRED MERRILL EELLS.
Pastor Of Westminster Presbyterian
Church.
The manifesto recently issued by
eminent pastors OF England in which
Il was declared that the present
war portends the reappearing OF
Christ and the reconstruction OF the
world has caused a worldwide in
terest in the events confronting Us.
Locally. this interest has been in
tensided by the various comments
Of South Bend ministers as recorded
In The News-Times of last Sunday.
Today, as never before, laymen, as
well as pastors. are searching the
Scriptures 70 ascertain the founda-
ton In prophecy for our gigantic
conflict Is this the beginning OF the
end2 Is the millennium near? Is
this the battle OF Armageddon 4?
These are questions seriously asked
and the only answer that will satisfy
the questiOners is the answer Of the
Bible.
The Millennium.
Moses. David. Isaiah. jeremiah,
Daniel. Micah. Zechariah. Christ,
John. Paul and others fOretOld a pc
riod OF time when peace and right
eousness would be supreme. John
designates that period as one Of a
thousand years in duration. From
the Latin for that mineral we obtain
the word millennium" There are
two views on this subject. One is
that the millennium will precede the
second coming OF Christ and the
other view is that Christ's second
coming viii precede this period.
The first view, or that OF the post
millennialist. is based upon the be-
lief that the church viii be the
means OF promoting and making
universal throughout the world the
triumph OF peace and righteousness.
When this condition has existed a
thousand years then Christ viii come
20 Judge the earth. But this theory
IS opposed by Scripture. Repeatedly
in His parallels and by direct state
ments Christ said that His reap
pearing would be unexpected. If
He is not coming until after the mil
Iennium has passed why should He
command us to always Watch" and
BE We ready?" Also the church
cannot conquer sin without the Wis
fble presence Of its Leader. It is a
divinely instituted organization COM
posed OF humn beings with human
minds and making human mistakes

by the confusion of tongues at the
tower of Babel and the scattering
of the races. The Mosaic age was
closed by the crucifxion of Christ and
the dispersion Of the Jews. After
the close of each age the earth re-
manned and man survived. We are
now in the church age which may
be closed by this worldwide war.
After each age was closed the course
of events has been entirely different
in the age following. The world can
never be the same after this war.
And this struggle surely seems to
portend a new order of life for man
kind.

4 Word About That Preacher!

Week by week, in the of the Church, which
embraces all denominations, we have been urging
the public TO attend religious service.
More than once the answer has come back: al
went but | did not like the preacher"
The time has come for frank word.
We are not basng our appeals upon the ability
of the preachers. We do not invite you to 90 to
church to hear orationS or essays. Nobody knows
better than the preachers themselves how far short
of their purpose many sermons come. All queS-
tons of mere human ability aside, even as spirit
ual message for hungry souls the sermon is some
times unsatisfactory
Perhaps if the public knew how often the
preacher agonzeS in penent prayer over this, they
would be less cenSorouS.
The cardinal truth of the matter is this We do
not go to church, primarily, to enjoy a good SER
mon. congregation is not a mere audience: a
crowd met to hear man talk.
