sabbath of the Lord thy God: in IL thou shalt

daughter my man servant, nor thy maid-serv-
ant, nor thy cattle nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates: For in six days the Lord
made heaven nud earth. the sea, and all that In

to drop in the office next day.
! You seem much better Neil, Mr.
Frederick has done you good, his
aunt remarked, giving expression to
my thought.

TnE ALPHA AND OMEGA OF THE MATTER

Not since tho league OF nations controversy
died down has any subject ;, agitated the press
and public the movement to make of the
Sabbath by legislative enactment that which the
divine word indubiiably Intended the day
should be.
The world has brought upon itself no little
criticism because of its unaltcrabe stand against
the movement; because In stating It's position It
permitted Itself to indulge In criticism Of the
church and many OF those who make prctrnse
of serving 1t.
In all that has been said concerning the mat
ter nothing more conciscly states the whole
case than the contribution to Public Barometer
by DR.. Seth Il, Gordon. u sand Springs pastor.
After quoting extensively from tho Bble to
make his case (Which was not at an necos-ar ry.
for the controversy has not turned ON whether
or not the sabbath should be moro dccorousIy
observed, but as to tho proper means Of bringing
that observance abouD Or. Gordon opitomlzcs.
You can't compel men, to keep the sab
bath by legislation, Get men TO love God
and Jesus christ and all will love TO Keep
Ills holy day.
That states the alpha and omega OF the en-
tire matter. For that matter, il stifcs tht
alpha and omega of all moral reform. II states
too. the fun Of the philosophy which teaches
the wisdom aud necessity Of keeping over sep
arate church and skate.

CHAPTER CIl.
\ Visit to u Fortune Teller,

We had "a delightful dinner. !
may have appreciated IL the more
because Of late they had seemed
either lonely and dun without Neil,
or he had been distrait, uuintcrest-
ed. But both he and Mr.. Frederick
eXerted themselves and we had a
really lively time. Aunt fairly
beamed. The conversation turned on
fortune telling, aud while we all de-
clared our skepticism, each OF us
confessed to having at some time
gone to hear what the seers could
tell US. Mr.. Frederick said:
There is a very good one here
| now. a man named Cary. He has
apartments at one OF the hotels up
town, and does a smashing bua-
ness
II should like to visit him" aunt
said to him, 1T is years since have
had my fortune told Then it was
by "A treveling gypsy She used a
greasy pack OF cards. ] was afraid
of disease"
"Oh, this man is well groomed
fellow. | imagine he makes mon
ey' Frederick replied.
You have visited HIM" | asked
quizzically.
Il have to confess that have
not once' but several times. The last
time in San Francisco"
But did he tell you anything
Anything you cared to know. and
didn't know before YOU went TO
him 90 again questioned him.
Yes -yes--I think he did tell me
some things | wanted to know. Some
that | didn't care about also"
Come Frederick Neil broke in.
"lou'll have Bah running TO all the
fortune tellers In town. ! for one

laughed at him, but aunt was not TO
| be turned from her purpose. So she
| insisted upon learning the name of
the hotel at which the seer was
staying, and after dinner she tclc-
phoned and asked his office hours.

she said to mo az she turned from

The Same interests that interpose power
