In the history OF Afne rican football at
oxford that the new crowd, or fresh

old men.
1T was a well-fought game and
there was a great crowd OF English
out to see il. The various American
college rooters were out IN force and
when they began singing out the yells
OF their several colleges, Il surely
did bring America near TO as.
y played right tackle on the win
ming team, and did all the punting for
our side-made out finely. Three
times kicked from back OF our own
goal line. In the last quarter, with
two minutes left TO play, they rolled
ne back OF our own four-yard line.
We held, and took the fan from them
at about the flve-yard line. l kicked
out from under the goal and the ball
went - yards on the fly and bounced
INTO the crowd-so the danger was
over.
Everybody played in what we
would call basketball suits, but, luck

EvanneIlst Opposes RIne laws.


The Rev. E. f. Collier. an evangel-
ist OF the Seventh Day Adventist
Church, conducted a service in the
Majestic Theatre last night, in the
course Of which he said:
"As / have been announced TO
speak on the theme, The Meaning Of
the Blue Laws, a foreword in that
direction may not be amiss.
There seems TO be a growing de-
mand on the part OF some for laws
whereby TO regulate the Observance
OF the sabbath When prestige for
certain views and d0gmas begins to
wane, class OF zealots seek TO bolster
up the same by such legislation as Is
now proposed, even II by so doing
they submarine the ship OF State.
while civil and religious liberty
have stood staumchly side by side. our
nation has been prospered and blessed
| Together we have sought TO preserve
and make safe our political democ-
racy; now shall we begin to create
within 1t a religious autocracy?
ANY proposed laws for governing
or regulating the observance OF a
sabbath would be religious laws. The
uethod now being pursued 10 obtain
Such laws is bound TO lead soonor or
later, 10 an alliance between religion
anu ENAAAAAHI NAAA AlAN AioAAN VI cNlI
combination has always been a relig-
ious civil deppotism. Such a union is
incompatible with the teachings Of the
New Testament. It is a practice b0r-
rowed from paganism.
This tendency to attempt TO make
people righteous, or religious,
through the establishment Of relig-
iOus dOgmas by civil authority, ought
10 be a danger slcnal TO all lovers OF
freedom OF conscience, warning
against both national and ecclesias-
tical apostasy.
Compulsory Sunday observance
will help no one A Sabbath with
civil law foundation is no Sabbath at
all. Il is Just as civil an act TO sell
or buy a commodity on the first day
OF the week as It is on the seventh
day and the object OF civil law
should always be 10 protect civil
liberty, not to curtail. Divine insti-
tutions have in themselves the ele-
ment OF success, which is truth. Re
ligiOus observances ought to be
founded on truth or be discarded.
True Sabbath observance is rendered
unto God from the inner heart OF
man; no dereliction OF another can
effect Il. In duties pertaining to God,
only am alone responsible. so then,
every one OF us shall give account ot
himself to God
