of Nations is the third step in the
progress of the worlds civilization
toward the realization of the ideals
contained in the prophesy of Isaiah
when he declared that the nations
shall learn war no more, shall beat
the swords into plowshares, their
spears into pruning hooks, and ma
ton shall rise against nation no
more.
The second step in this progress,
he said, was when Messiah came and
the angels sang to the shepards on

world wide effort of organized So
ciety to regulate international AZ
fairs so that there may be peace on
earth and good will to men.
He gave at length a detailed ex
PLANTATION Of various paragraphs OF
the league, showing that its sole
purpose is to secure international
peace and justice by the acceptance
of obligations not to resort to war
These obligations are clearly set ou'
in the league covenant and other
ample means for the keeping of the
worlds peace are provided, he point
ed out
Rev. Mr.. Whitwell stressed tha'
the council of the League of Ma
tions has no power or authority to
order or direct governments or ar
mics to go to war; that there is abb
solutely nat a line or word, OF au-

go beyond advice; that each nation,
in accordance with its own laws and
constituted authority, may accept or
reject such advice.
Decisions Unanimous.
He stated that in case the United
States enters the League, that the
council could not even advise this
ration to go to war without the vote
of our representative in the council

THURSDAY, DEC. 80. 1920.

The newspapers of the country and
fuses to take seriously the work of
the Lords Dny Alliance in it's efforts
to promote Sabbath observance in
line with the teachings of Holy Writ
are apt to wake up some fine MORN
ing to learn that they have deceived
. themselves by believing that the
country did not indorse the work of
this organization. which is endcavor-
ing to have written into the laws Of
the land the principle to which every
great church in America is commit
ted, namely. that one day in seven
belongs to Almighty God. and that
this day should be celebrated in the
spirit of genuine rest and not as the
pagan Sabbath of continental Europe.
THE Sabbath must be kept sacred
or lost forever" says the Rev. II. l..
Bowlby, general secretary of the al
lance. IF commercialism is allow
ed to encroach upon it here and
commercial and 1t will not even be
n holiday. Keeping 10000 traction
employees busy in order to give the
masses an outing Is not Gods way
OF observing the Sabbath. 1t Is
Mammon's way of securing its ami
hilation. We are accused sometimes
of trying to take the sun out of sun
day" continued Mr.. Bowlby. THAI
Is exactly what the Sabbath desc
orators are doing. and we are trying
to bring it back. We don't want to
compel anybody to worship in our
way or to worship in any way If he
does not want to. But We insist that
every American is entitled to n Sab
bath: not merely to - hours off. but
to one day out OF seven which is OBJ
viously different from other days, to
n day which is dedicated to the Lord,
to n day in which he will not have
to fight his way against current
OF commercialism in order to wor-
ship at all, but n day in which he
may normally expect. to be lifted out
OF himself into real communion with
his Creator. That would be day of
real recreation. America did have
such n Sabbath once. Our alliance
is simply fighting for it's rcstora-
