DIR. ODELL AND THE QUAkERS.

Editor Every Evening: DR. Joseph IL.
Odell in his lecture on William Penn at
the Westminster Presbyterian Church,
Sunday afternoon, gives us some new
r6mnses of the Friends, or Quakers, that
/ an, sure will surprise many OF the foi-
lowers of George Fox, even at TINS Rite
dav. He seems to lose sight OF the tact
that the Friends were deeply rehgous ana
deyo,it. or that their religion was a pro
,es, against the gross immorallties OF these
t;mc~ and against the doctrine OF the
;neT,sIity of man, and that they recog-
n;,ed no superior other than God, the
Infinite. the Omnipresent. heir falth
reo,,;red people built of stern stun that
would not WELD in face Of physical punish
ment if the test came.
To Quote from DIR. Odell' s printed adj
dress: "The Quakers. or Friends, were a
peculiar people even IN those days OF
innumerable sects, each sect based upon
some extravagant Interpretation OF the
Scriptures.
And again: George Fox (the founder of
the sect of Friends was a shrewd man OF
fanatical and excitable disposition, un-
educated, but not of a naturally Keen
mind. His first converts were Drawn
principally from one or other OF the eX-
treme sects and were almost all from the
common people.
After reciting their prosecutions and
their brave stand for personal ana re-
Egious liberty, perhaps the most dafrig
defiance of a religious sect for the right
20 worship God in its own way SINCE the
esrIies, dawn of Christianity, DR.. Odell
continues "Of course, as we today look
over their beliefs. we smile at theiroddltles
and whims and make joke or two about
their dress and speech, but We see that
they were really ahead of their age, and
though poor and despised, they had some
truths that were destined to change the
face of the world

Editor Every Evening There seems to
be much confusion in the public mind in
reference TO the Sabbath law rs it is oh

a very complicated question and one that
requires patience and care TO ravel
There are great differences Of opinion on
the subject of what ought to be permitted

Jewish faith do not naturally take to the
idea of the Christian Sabbath, observed
on the first day Of the week in honor of
the resurrection of Christ from the dead.

II the law is to be disobeycd with impunity
