Atlantic City. June 1G-After four
days layoff, Jack Dempsey resumed
training today with the prospects of
continuing his grind without further
interruption until the windup two
weeks from tomorrow morning.
Dempsey's sparring partners have
taken advantage OF the layoff to pre-
pare themselves for the strenuous
time ahead. With the exception Of
Battling Ghee, the heavyweight from
Memphis, Tenn, all Of the sparring
mates in camp were in a battered-up
condition when Dempsey stopped train
ing and they welcomed the chance
to recuperate. Ghee has not faced
the champion, and considerable in
terest has been aroused as regards
the showing he will make.

weight from New Orleans, no longer

len ear Burke will undergo an oper-
alton in New York, but will return
TO camp as Dempsey's guest for the
balance OF the training. Dempsey
also invited him to be his guest at
the fight
Ghee will take Burke's place on
the staff. which will be augmented
by Irish Patsy Cline and Soldier
Bartfield. Mike Gibbons, the St Paul
middleweieht; Harry Greb, the light
heavyweight, from Pittsburgh; Jamai-
ca Kid, and Kid Norfolk. probably
will be brought into camp during the
final two weeks. Larry Williams

the holdovers.

Dempsey started the final training

URGES CONSCIENCE
AS DRY LAW GUIDE
Rev. DR.. Halliday Defends Vio-
lation of Act if Man Feels
He's Morally Right.
A sermon was delivered last Sunday

A sermon was delivered last Sunday
by the Rev. DR.. Ernest NJ. Halliday,
pastor of the Ocean Avenue Corgrega-
tional Church. Ocean avenue and Ave-
nue. 1, Brooklyn. in which ne declared
in effect that the proper course to pur-
sue in regard to prohibition was to let
your conscience be your guide.
So far as could be learned last night
none OF DIR. Halliday's parishioners "
contemplating action in regard TO the
sermon. but 1t was generally conceded
that his words were open to "misinter-
probation"
DR.. Halliday last night admitted that
the following was a true quotation OF q
portion of his sermon:
IF q man feels that for him to abide
by the provisions of the prohibition law
is morally wrong then he ought not to
obey the law.
IF he actually believes that he will
bring damnation upon his soul by not
buying liquor, or making homo brew
then by all means let him disobey the
law. Above every man made law IS the
law Of God, the moral law. and no man
can properly excuse himself for failing
to do his moral duty, no matter what the
law may be. His only course Is to dc
the right as ne sees the right. let the
consequences be what they may
but If the question Of obeyin3 the
prohibition law is merely a question OF
personal comfort or habit, then the truly
patriotic man has one and only one
course open to him. He will conform to
the law until he can by lawful means
bring about q change in It,"
The subject Of DR.. HalliGay's sermon
was Christian Patriotism"
