OLD CANAL STABLES

John Bedwell who purchased the mule
stables in Chesapeake City from the
late George N. Bennett, IS tearing them
down. The stables were a landmark.
In days gone by 60 mules were
stabbed here and were used for towing
boats through the canal. SIX mules
and a driver were assigned 20 each
boat, and the mules in action under a
competent driver were considered a

Go to church Sunday.
There are lot Of folks in the

mothers and fearing fathers who
10 not believe in churches.
OF course, down deep in their
hearts they carry convictions that
without the church the world would
go to the dogs, absolutely.
Believing this, however, they think
it refers to the other fellow, to the
rest of the world; that, so far as they
are concerned, they can speed gaily
along life's highway, have a riproar-
ing time, muddy the waters all they
please, and everything will be o. X.
That is the sort of fellow who
doesn't care what happens so it
doesn't happen to him."
There are men and women who
can get along without the church and
do no great harm to civilization. They
are people of extraordinary poise-
and supreme selfishness--who know
precisely how to take care of them
selves and who are disturbed very
little by the problems which relate
broadly to humanity the world over.
But of this we may sil be euro;
all the unrest in the world, all the
lawlessness in the world, all the wars
all the crimes, all the hatred, all the
bitterness of life, would disappear
overnight if everybody in the world
would resolve to conform to the
teachings of the humble Man in whose
name the churches of Christendom
will assemble tomorrow for the wor-
ship of God.
We are not law abiding, We spit
upon the Sabbath set aside by the
Almighty ages ago for the blessing
OF mankind, we are scornful, we are
sacriligious, we are, selfish, and we
don't care-because we are not liv-
ing in harmony with the divine laws.
If we were as deeply impressed
with the necessity of conforming to
those laws as we are imbued with
the idea that the one sure road to
salvation is the pursuit of wealth and
worldly pleasure, the churches of
America would be as crowded on sun
day morning as the movie houses are
