AN OLD FASHIONED SABBATH
Editors of Index-Journal and A. X
Presbyterian Urges a Return 10
Strict Observance of
The Sabbath.

Due Vests fame rests as much on
is observance of the Sabbath Day
as upon its colleges, whose influence
for good touches every section OF
tie country. People who have never
been to the quiet little town but
who have heard of it always connect
it,as soon as it's name is mentioned,
with the one place in all the land
where the injunction Eye shall keep
my Sabbaths" has been obeyed.
But it seems that the old fashioned
observance of the Sabbath is getting
to be a stranger even to Due West
and to the A. R. P.'s in other Sec
tions. The A. R. Presbyterian, the
church paper published at Due
West, in an editorial last week de-
cries the laxity of Associate Re-
formed Presbyterians on the sub
ject. AS a matter Of information to
many as to how the day used to be
observed and as an appeal to others
the editorial is published in full:
twenty-five years ago our people
were noted for their observance Of
the Sabbath, but there has been in
recent years a noticeable lowering
of the standard in the keeping of
the day. We older people were chill
dren then, and among the many
things that are indelibly stamped on
memory is the enforcement of Sab
bath observance in the homes in
which we were reared. Barring a
few extremes to which some parents
went which made the day dread to
the children, we do not know of any
better picture of an ideal than that
of a quarter of century ago.
Preparation for it began on Sat-
urday at noon. The father and sons
devoted the afternoon to cutting the
wood, preparing food for the stock,
looking after the harness, oiling the
vehicles, shaving, bathing, and
every thing else in the way of pre-
paration that could be made before
Sabbath morning. The mother and
daughters likewise were busy with
the baking and household duties, so
as to reduce their work on the Sab
bath to minimum. The Sabbath
school lesson was studied and fami-
ly worship held, after which all re-
tired early for good nights rest.
On Sabbath morning all were up
at the usual hour and family wor-

vance on the high ground of moral
litigation. Parents should exercise
their God given right and enforce
the observance of the day in their
homes. They should adopt some
egular program and make the OBJ
ervance of the day as distinctly re-
igious as possible. God grant US as
individuals ard families to guard
we'll the sacred day and by the sys-
tematic and skillful enforcement of
IS observance may we teach our
children to observe it and not re-
gard it a hardship!
We conclude with quotation
from Gods word, "If thou turn
away thy foot from the Sabbath
from doing. thy pleasure on My
Holy day; and call the Sabbath de-
light, the holy of the LordII honor
able; and shalt honor Hin, not do
ing thine own ways, not speaking
thine own words; then shalt thou de-
/ .ght thyself in the Lord; and will
cause thee to ride upon the high
places of the earth, and will feed
hee with the, heritage Of Jacob thy
ather; for the mouth of the Lord
hath spoken il"

These figures show that the rail-
ways of the country are not only
performing a larger measure of
public service than they performed
during similar periods of 1919 but
that they are closely approaching
the records made in 1918 when
every nerve was being strained o
win the war and the railways f The
South have even passed the high
record made in 1918.
In dicussng the heavy business

said:

ports regarding industries that are

spite of the strikes and otncr trou-
bles the railways alnloat ;ntinously

"Why, then, are The industrial
operations of the country being

nancial stability Threatened by in.
sufficient transportation There cad
| be only one rational answer to that
question. The present conditions
are partly due to strikes, but they
are mainly due to the fact that for
years the productive capacity of the
country has been rapidly increasing
while the facilities and capacity of
the railways have been increasing
hardly at all.
"Present conditions are practi-
cally chargeable to those who
throughout the years from 1906 to
1917, by fighting to keep the rates
and net earnings of the railways on
the lowest possible level, did all
they could in their respective ways
to make it impossible for the car
riers to handle the country's COM
merce."
