State deprives the individual OF the
right TO choose or change his religion.
Every person who submits to the
State 10 select Sabbath and TO enforce
Sabbath observance, thereby virtually
gives up his right to select his own
religion, and to change his religious be-
lief and practice whenever he chooses
TO do so.
The establishment of a Sabbath by
law is therefore the entering wedge to
the establishment Of religion by law.
The same authority which can select a
day Of worship, can, with the same
ease, choose a religion, and set up a
mode Of worship. If the State by a
solemn act Of legislation can, in one
point, define the law of God, or point
out to men one religious duty, IL may
with equal proprioty, proceed to define
every part of Gods word, and enforce
every religious obligation, even 10 the
forms and ceremonies Of worship, the
endowment Of churches, and the sup
port Of the clergy. If it is the duty OF
the State to select the Sabbath which
all the people should observe, il ought
also TO select the church TO which they
should all belong, the creed which they
should all profess. the mode Of baptism
by which all should be baptized, in

LOGIC AND SUNDAY BASEBALL

To the Editor Of The Evening Journal
Sir-In the recent controversy over
Sunday baseball. the logic Of the thing
is entirely igonored.
So far as the State is concerned, a
man has a right to observe any day, or
no day, as a rest day, or Sabbath, Just
as in the matter OF baptism he has a
right TO be immersed, sprinkled, or not
baptized at all, so far as the State is
concerned. Sabbath-keeping, like bap-
tism, is a religious, and therefore a
personal matter. Whether man keeps
the Sabbath or whether he is baptized.
may effect his standing before God, but
It cannot rightfully effect his standing
in the eyes Of civil government. He
should not be considered a criminal If
he refrains from being baptized, neither
should he be regarded as a criminal If
he does not observe the Sabbath and
plays ball upon that day
Keeping the Sabbath is a religious
duty, not a civil duty. 10 is a duty
which men owe TO God, not one which
they owe TO the State. Therefore, when
men by law require their fellow men TO
observe any day as the Sabbath, they
put themselves in the place of God, and
require men to render to them what is
due only TO God.
Again take the words Of Christ in
Matt. %: 81; Render therefore unto
Caesar the things that are Caesars, and
unto God the things that are Gods"
That tribute money was Caesars: It
bore his image and superscription; it
Evening journal., 1918-09-17

was to be rendered to him. Now, II is
a question Of rendering Sabbath OBJ
servance, and 1t is perfectly legitimate
and indeed a necessary question to ask
right here: It is lawful to render Lords
DAY observance TO Caesar? The reply
may be in his own word: Show me
the Lords day; whose image and
superscription does IL bear? II IL is
the Lords day, it bears his image and
superscription. As IL does not bear the
image and superscription Of Caesar; IL
does not belong TO him; and, therefore,
cannot be rendered TO him. Bearing the
Lords image and superscription; II be-
longs wholly to him; Caesar can OF
right have nothing 10 do with 10; its
observance cannot be rendered TO
Caesar but only to God. And Caesar
never can demand it without demanding
That which belongs TO God, or without
putting himself in the place OF God,
and usurping the prerogative Of God
The word Caesar in the text Matt.
q: 2i). refers to civil government,
therefore, the duties which we owe 10
Caesar are civil duties, while the duties
which we owe TO God are moral or re-
ligiOus duties.

AFTER "DEESTRICT

Chicago.-The final decision in
the case Of Captain" George Well
ington Streeter. who for 81 years
has fought pitched battles, skirm-
ishes and court fights for posses
sion OF 1853 acres of Lake Shore
Drive land, valued at millions of
dollars, probably will be handed
down in the circuit court here on
March Is.
Streeter. who with small num-
Der of hackers, had heretofore sue
q ssfully resisted all attempts, both
physical and legal, to GUST him from
the property, which he claimed by
sGuaTter right and named the Dis
trict of Lake Michigan" recently
lost a court action for possession OF
the land, and was ordered TO Yacate
at once. The court, however, later
changed the ruling so that Streeter
was allowed until March IS to re-
quest an appeal to the supreme
court If by that time he has made
no appeal or his appeal is denied,
the court order directs the sheriff
to evict him.
Streeter declares that in 1886 he
was shipwrecked on the shore of
Lake Michigan, near Lincoln park.
The wreck was allowed to remain
there and he lived upon it and sand
and dirt from the lake piled around
it. forming land. This land, Street
err declared, was property of the
United States and not the state of
Illinois, so he claimed it. He also
alleges that he was granted a pat
ent right by the late President
Grover Cleveland This patent,
however, was declared by the court
to have been altered and the sig
nature of Grover Cleveland was
declared to be a clumsy forgery.
