RESTORE BULL-FIGHTING
Il Was In 1915 That President Car
rama Prohibited Exhibitions.

RAMA fTOntpiICO
Mexico City, October 25.-[By The
Associated Press. IAN energetic eff
fort is being made to restore bull
fighting, which has been in eclipse
since President Carranza in 1915 pro-
|hibited such spectacles in the federal
district and officials elsewhere frown-
ed upon the sport.LoA petition asking
that the presidential decree be re-
voked, signed by s more than one
thousand citizens of the city OF, ORR
zaba, is now in the hands Z, Of the
chamber of deputies and action upon
it by the lower house Is. expected
shortly. A similar petition last year
failed in it's purpose by a single vote.
Many persons believe that, with
stronger pressure brought to bear this
year, favorable decision will be
reached. yars raa,
indicative of a desire to see how
far they may go without official IN
reference, is the staging of several
exhibitions in Mexico City and its
suburbs within the past few weeks,
while President Carranza was away
on vacation. Advertised as mere ex-
hibitions in which well known mata-
doris would play with the bull" they
developed into the real thing and once
again the ''pelados" had cheap meat
on Monday, the poor class of natives
always by custom being given the
carcass of the bull after he is slain.
The newspapers were not inclined
to censure this technical infraction of
law. Instead they devoted columns to
them with similar exhibitions before
descriptions of the fights, comparing
the prohibitive decree.

threatens to make that separation
eternal, and none but God himself
could take it away.
with very many sin is simply the
transgressiOn Of the law Of God that
affects oneself or society; II is only
vice or crime. II is altogether proper
to speak Of SHINING against ones fell
low men and against himself. A Ger
tain man, whose name Is familiar be-
cause notorious within the last four
years, sinmed greatly against society
at large, against the whole human
race. If man thinks he has pre-
served a conscience void Of offense
toward his fellow men he thinks
that he is meeting all Gods require
ments. Man frequently speaks of
transgresslOn Of the law as directly
affecting himself and others. but
often that man Is altogether indiffer-
ent to the practical fact that there
Is consideration far above this Of
what sin does, and that consideration
Is that sin affects God.
There is nothing needed now more
than sense Of God. There are many
who are utterly goddess and they are
not called atheists, bit they are
atheists practically. AS far as In
terest in God is concerned God might
as well not be. There are, however,
some evidences that this sense Of
God is being realized as never before.
A soldier in France wrote, "Al inf
dels are in the rear; everyone here
at the front believes in God and the
future"
Ia the Bible we have two very clear
illustrations of sensitiveness to sin
us offense against Cod When Joseph
was tempted by the wife Of Potiphar
he was saved by the thought, How
can l do this thing and sin against
God?" Here was utter Indifference
to anything but the thought of sin
ming against God. The other case
is that OF David who prayed, Against
thee, thee only. have | sinned and
done this evil in thy sight" Again
utter Indifference to the consequences
Of his sin as touching himself and
others. The same thought is reflect
ed in the prodigals words when he
returned to his father This recogni-
ton and confession Of offense against
God is the door through which
the true penitent comes into a
place of deliverance. 1t is here that
he secures spiritual freedom, and that
spiritual freedom is only realized
when the guilt Of sin is taken away
The taking away of sin is real. The
strong shoulders Of the Son Of God
bear it away, as the scapegoat of old
bore away the sins of Israel into the
Wilderness
II Jesus Christ is able to carry
away The sin of the world it is quite
reasonable TO say that he can take
away the sin or sins of any man.
There are some who fear that they
may have sinned SO grievously that
their sin can never be taken away, but
If Jesus Christ can take away the sin
of the world. which certainly means
all sin. the sin of the troubled sinner
can also be taken away.
! lay my SINS on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb Of God.
He bears them an and frees US
From the accused load.
