To the Jews It was the seventh day,

Of the best evidences Of the resurrec-
ton Of Jesus Christ. IL the fact that
I Peter. James. John and Paul changed
from keeping its seventh day to keep,
ing the ,nrst day of the week. Without
rebellion, from that day to this, we
have kept the first day, because Jesus
Christ arose. and we have kept the
lfrst day commemorating the Chris
tian era. They kept the seventh day
comnemorating the old Jewish era.
But that Is past. We are keeping the
first day Of the week and God is hon.
oring every Christian who has kept
1t from that day to this.
Oh, how much Sabbath breaking
there Is done In this countryi The
Sabbath Is made for man, and man
ought to have the Sabbath day. Your
suit Of clothes was made for you, or
your shoes, your house. The Sabbath
was made for man. Man ought to
have 1t. and II society doesn't allow
him to have it-and the man who Is
obliged TO work all the time as a
| slave, and for any class to be COM
PEELED to work seven days In a week
Is an outrage!
We have always been In danger Of
losing the Sabbath. We have q lot OF
goddess, good-for-nothing tyrants in
this country that have no use for
God. nor Gods law, and they would
rub the statutes from our books. Oh,
IL the hands of noble men and women
were not banded together to fight to
maintain the Sabbath, sir. nothing in
] the universe would save it from being
eliminated from our statute books and
torn to shreds-

your lamp and come up out Of the

keep it holy.
We have got a class coming to this
country that are injurious. They bring
their damnable heresies; they bring
their damnable continental customs
with them. sir. they don't come to
America to become Americans. They
haven't got an American hair in their
heads nor an American thought in
their old brains. Every drop of blood
in their rotten veins, sir, beats to the
music OF Sabbath desecration. Many
of them come to our shores with tags
on them. telling OF their destination.
They don't come to build American
homes. they don't come to learn our
language. They come and settle in
our cities and they become carbuncles
on the neck of our body polite. They
come here to undermine honest labor,
they come to fiaunt their damnabie,
hellish. red flag of anarchy. / say.

shunks back wher they came from.

| And out of this class, came the
black-hearted, white-livered. white
eyed scoundrels who murdered the po-
lice in the Haymarket riots of Chicago.
Out Of this God-forsaken mob of cut
throats. came the people who cheered
to the echo, the speaker who stood
on the street corner and said. II am
in favor OF dynamiting every bank.
and scattering 'em on the street"
From that mob came the anarchist
who went to Italy and murdered King
Humbert OF Italy. From that gang
came the black-hearted anarchist that
shot William Mckinley at Buffalo.
And out of that dirty gang came the
Personal Liberty League which is
nothing under heaven but a form OF
anarchy. They say. This republic is
our hunting ground, and the American
Sabbath is the day we are after"
Whoever would destroy our Sabbath
undermines this republic.
! If they don't like our laws, there
are ships sailing to Europe. Let them
climb on. and we will climb up on the
Statue Of Liberty and we will wave
the flag while they sail out Of the
land. We will sing, Praise God, from
whom all blessings flow
The late United States Senator
Hoard, of Massachusetts, said: 'I am
in favor of all nations of the world
buying an island and letting all people
in these nations. who don't believe in
the laws governing those nations, go
live on that island and have a gov

sir. you put a red flag on a track and
the engineer will fIatten every wheel
before he will run by 1t, although there
may be nothing but a ten-penny nail
on the rail! 1t means danger to him.
Flash a red light in front of him, and
he will stop that train, all right,
And God Almighty stands, he waves
the danger signals and we shut our
eyes. We have stopped our ears and
we are rushing like stampeding cattle
on down towards hell. There has been
fearful letting down in this country
in the past twenty-five years. God
Almighty never repealed the law.
When you give up the Sabbath, then
the church, thent he home or nation.
That land or nation or individual is
undermining Gods favor when they
sneer or blaspheme at the Sabbath
day.
Religion Teaches Respect.
If winter should continue two years,
we'd starve to death. And so, God

man that will break every other
day. The man who has the most re-
