.WESTCOTT TALKS OF
SABBATH QUESTION
Sets Forth the Seventh Day
Adventists Position on
the Matter.

Evangelist H. B. Westcott preached
an unusually interesting sermon Sun
day night on the Sabbath question.
His subject was Who Changed the
Sabbath? A careful study was given
to the eight passages in the New Tes-
lament that speak Of the first day Of
the week and after having studied all
Of them the congregation was asked
IL they could find a commandment or
even a hint in those passages Of scrip
ture that the first day of the week
should be observed as a holy day. Mr..
Westcott offered $1,000 for any such
proof, but none was produced last
night.
Mr.. Westcott said, I'VE now see TIT
Christ or the Apostles did not know
Of any change in the day OF weekly
rest, and we have also found that the
Bible teaches that the seventh day
should still be observed, the question
that naturally arises is, How has the
change Gomez"
God, in the books Of Daniel tells
Of great religious power that would
arise in the Roman empire, after its
division into the ten kingdoms, that
would think to change timrE and Gods
law. The only part of the law that
deals with time Is the fourth COM
mandment. Now let u re what re-
Hgious power ever arose in the Ro-
man empire after It's division. There
is only one worthy Of mention and
that is the Papacy."
Much historical data was produced
in proof Of the fact that the Papacy
did change the day, and that the
change was never established until the
Council Of Laodacia in 1854 A. D.
II wish you to notice that the Cath
Ole church makes no effort to cover
the fact that she has changed the day.
On the other hand she speaks in boast

 France, Dec. 1, 1918. Dear Mother and Dad:
 J Well, it's a long time since I wrote you last but I really didn't have time. Things have been going pretty fast here the last couple of months and we had all we could do to keep up with the Huns. We'll, it's all over now and I, for one, thank the Lord I came out of it safe and sound. We have been doing some moving around shce being over here. First we Struck up north with the British and in July we were transferred south and there we made our first big drive toward Metz.
 From there we went to Nerdun. a That is where we finished the Ger Rrans. Why they ran so fast that we ~f1ad to chase them in automobile trucks and wagons and in fact any thing that we could ride in, but we licked them good and they won't start any more fights for long time to come. We are now near Dixon for a Test and l hope that they will be
  trying to get a, pass to Italy as it Is only seven days ride from France and two days to Romo but I guess that they won't let me off that long So I'll have to let it go. I would rather come home anyway I have had a, good time over here as it is and I don't care about going travel ling around any more just now Things were pretty hot for us for 2 while around Grandpree and down around Metz.

I'll tell you it wasn't any fun, but it's over now and Germany is finished for good. We started from the States the 27th of May and landed m Liverpool June s, and from there Ws must have gone away up into scotland, as the sun didn't go down esuntil about II o'clock and it was shaning again about ? o'clock in the morning. Well, from there we went 70 Dover and then to Calais.

It was reported this morning at police headquarters in Meriden that a number of small bays had smashed a window in the Ripping bungalow near the Peat works and climbed into the house, taking small pieces of fur niture and causing damage amounting to about $50. The boys it was re- ported, took the old state road toward Meriden and the police were put on their trail but no arrests have been made. 1t is the opinion that these youngsters were the cause of all the petty burg1aries which have recent ity.

200 MaCbiDiStS Meet in New Brit
 ain Vote Against Working
PLANT RE-OPENS TOMORROW
Empioycs Insist Concern Violated Agreement of Labor BOarCi-BoyS' -Infucnza During December.

! More than 200 members of the New ! Britain Machinists' union at a meeting ! Tn MachiniStS' hall on Church street, 1 New Britain, last night voted unani- mouSly to remain away from the 1 kockWell-Drake factory ill Plainville until the company recognizes the de- mands of the union and lives Up to the award of the War departm ment dated November 1 1918. At the meeting it was stated that every clause of that
 agreement, which was accepted by both the union and the factory off,
 clals, has been broken by the factory. The grievance of the union is that the
 company does not live up to an award
 which was made by the War depart
 ment, despite the fact that the com-
 pany accepted it's terms when it was
 at first presented to the officials.
 The town of Plainville is much con-
 cerned over the trouble, as it is gCn-
 crally heard that the company will not
 accede to any demands from the en-
 ployes, but will close it's factory if ne-
 cessary. The people of the town have
 been aware of the trouble between the
 two factions for some time, but never
 thought it would reach the present
 serious stage.
 Last Thursday the company re-
 ceived official notice that it's govern ment contract for light Browning ma chine gun work had been cancelled and work was to be stopped immedi-
 ately. This contract was a large one
 and was running over one-half of the
 plant. When the company received
 this notice, the men in charge of the
 plant conferred and decided that
 there was but one solution to the
 problem, it is claimed, and that samo
 night they discharged 99 employees
 That started trouble and the next day ? m emfoers of the union left their
 places in sym pathetic strike with their fellow employees who had been dis
 charged. The company stated that it
 could not retain the men in it's em-
 ploy when the contracts were can- celled.
 The factory closed then for annual inventory to reopen tom orrow morn ing. The union men decided that the factory was trying to break their
 ranks and held the meeting with the results already mentioned. J. r. Quinn, when asked if the trouble might possibly affect the brother-ma-
 chinists ill New Britain, replied that he did not know. The union is de- termined, however, to remain away from the Rockwell-Drake plant. 7s Cases of Influenza. Health Officer J. N. Bull reports that there were 7S cases of Spanish influenza in Plainville during the 1 month of December. Very few deaths were caused by the malady. Aside from influenza and pneumonia. there were no cases of contagious diseases
 reported during the month, and fin fact, there were few cases of con- tagious diseases during 1918. War Savings Stamps A new series of war savings stamps was placed on sale at the postoffice today.

we were ordered to St. Paul; that is on the Arras front. Later we were again transferred to the Metz front, so you sec that I have seen a large proportion of France; in fact. moro than the rest of the Berlin boys. After reaching the Metz sector I always rode around on a motorcycle until 1t was smashed. Yes, Jerry dropped a shell near it one afternoon, and goodbye motorcycle. After doing so much moving around I won't be satisfied until I get home again. I received a nice letter from MT. Lewis and. two from Colonel Jarvis. ..
 T am now in charge of repair shop containing about 10 trucks and 20 motorcycles. A few of these were slightly damaged during the last raid that Jerry made. We hadn't received any pay for three months until the day before Thanksgiving and then they paid us up to date and mine amounted to about 800 francs, but that didn't do us any good, as we were in a position where we couldn't spend any of it. Also, I received a letter from pr. Griswold the other day stat ing that he was ill. We'll, I hope that he is better now. I haven't heard or seen anything of Matt since I've been over here. I guess he's around Paris somewhere in charge of some hos pital.
 Well, I haven't any more paper, so I am going to close this letter, hoping that it finds you all well and wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Also, here's hoping that I get home before this letter does.
