here to represent the First Baptist
church Baraca class to the World
Wide Baraca-P Philathea convention
held at Jacksonville, Fla, April 20
and 23, reported to their class Sun

ing report back, saying that it was
the sunshine convention in the sun
shine city and everybody they saw
including the Northern delegates
were full of that good old Southern
sunshine.
There were about 500 delegates
from over 26 states present. Seven
came from as far North as Canada,
and a good many frow New York,
New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio
and other states. At big banquet
given on Friday night the delegates
all sat by states and each had their
own banners and their own songs,
yells, etc, and it was fine to see the
spirit manifested and good fellowship
that prevailed. One feature of en-
tertainment was the trip to Pablo
Beach on Saturday afternoon. A
special train was chartered of IL
coaches and they were all crammed
full of delegates. Another special
feature of the convention was the
Georgia bunch, led by J. Edgar
Probyn, of Augusta, who was full of
pep and ginger and sure put Geor-
gia on the map there before all those
Northern and Eastern and Western
delegates. Georgia had the largest
number of delegates, even going
Florida about 27 better.

THE SABBATH OR THE LORDS
DAY-WHICH?

The SABBATH OK THE LORD'S
DAY-WHICH?
Although there is much contro-
versy upon this subject, the scrip
lures are very clear when studied as
whole. Our discussion of the mat.
ter is not to perpetuate controversy,
but to ascertain the truth, Nothing
is settled until it is settled right.
1. The First Mention of the Seventh
Day.
The evening and the morning were
the first day Gen. 1;5) The eve
ming and the morning constituted
each succeeding day. The Jews reck-
oned day from sunset to sunset.
We will now study Gen. 2:1-3. This
is case of prolepsis, or the joining
together of two distinct events make
it appear as if they happened at the
same time. God rested in the sew
enth day of creation, thus ending the
first week. But He did not Sane
TIFY the seventh day until the Civ
ing of the law on Mt. Sinai.
In Gen. 1920 we have another case
of prolepsis Adam named his wife
Eve when she was created; but she
was not the mother of race for
several centuries following that time.
In Matt. 10:2-4 is another case of
prolespis. "And Judgas Iscariot, who
betrayed him." Matthew wrote this
cyo,, +bi,+., ryo,re ,,ftor +bo o., II;ro. - e
the twelve apostles. In this passage
he connects the sending out of Judas
and the betrayal of Judas by Judas
one passage, as if the two events
happened at the same time; when in
reality, they happened some three
years apart.
So, in Gen. 1928, we read that
"he rested on the seventh day from
the work which he had made. And
God blessed the seventh day and
sanctified it." This account was writ
ten by Moses hundreds of years aft
er the creation. In writing it, Moses
connects five years after events as
if they happened at the same time.
God rested On the seventh day of
the worlds existence. He SANCTI-
FLED it, or set it apart as a special
day, BY positive law after the Jews
are led out of Egyptian bondage.
Absolutely there is no record Of any
observance Of the seventh day dur
ing the patriarchal dispensation.

Day as the Sabbath for the Jews.

So Says Famed Briton, Who
Claims knowledge OF The
Hereafter
BY ALEXANDER HERMAN

NEW YORK, May 8.-Plans and
specifications for heaven and hell,
complete from lower to upper levels,
are being revealed to Americans In
a series of lectures by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle, famous author AMI cre-
ator of Sherlock Holmes.
Sir Arthur gets his information
straight from the spirits of those
who have passed on-spme % OF
them. He's not as poetic but much
more specific than Mr.. Milton, Sig
nor Dante and others who have
essayeI descriptions cf the beyond.
There is not a doubt but what Sir
Arthur believes in spiritualism as
firmly as he believes in eating, drink
ing and sleeping. This bulky Brit
Usher, knighted Off his success in
letters, married and the father of
fine family, conservative in his man
ners as any many of 65, has seen
ghosts, talked with them, received
written messages from them-and
that settles every question, as far as
he is concerned.
If you asa Sir Arthur about any
phase of hea8en or hell he answers,
direct, specific, with absolute posi-
tiveness andsconviction. Here are
some of his Startling statements;
"HEAVEN- This is to me as def
mite world as Europe or the United
States. 1t is very like this world,
except that heaven is devoid of the
ugly, the unhappy, the evil things
we find in this life.
"HEAVENLY SPIRITS-In heav-
en- every person is at the zenith of
his or her powers. The spiritual
body is Ike the earth body, except
that the former is comlpete and
beautiful. In heaven we lose all
earthly deformities; the person with
only one leg, one eye or crooked
spine is made whole. The little chill
dren attain perfect manhood or wo-
manhood. 4-s- -asa=s, ..s r-,s.-sse
HEAVENLY HOMES-There are
beautiful homes in heaven, surround
ed by gardens of wonderful flowers.
believe that one finds there one
favorite pets. There are woodlands
and lakes, games and sports,' JOY and
laughter. Yes, and the opportunity
to work.
"hEAVENLY. MUSIC-The heav-
enly music is joyous, inspiring,
soothing. You know that on this
earth there are many sounds pitched
SO high that the human ear cannot
record them. The music of the world
beyond is of this sort.
"HUMAN WEAKNESSES-Heav
en- is replica of earth, except that
the grossly material things and the
weaknesses of the flesh do not enter
there. All ones desires are realized
in heaven, but the heavenly body
does not desire, for example, liquors
or tobacco.
"PURGATORY-This is state
between heaven and hell, in which
souls unfit to enter the higher realms
must spend sometime, progressing
from level to level, preparing them
selves for the higher state. Purga-
tory is Sadder, darker grayer than
this world. 1t usually takes 40 years

Is there any way of proving that

Unquestionably so-though | know
of no way save by psychic phenom-

side of spiritualism.
What we call the "etheric body

is described as the soul.
1t is facsimile of our present bod
les, and it survives them. 1t is the
thing which been the basis of all
phantom stories-the thing seen so
often at the moment of death by dis
tant friends or relatives.
1t is temporarily dissociated from
the body in sleep, and under GER

DUAL AUTHORITY PLAN
TO STOP DRY BRIDES

WASHINGTON, March PA
system OF dual authority i'm practi-
cally all States has been set up by
Federal officials as guarantee
against bribery, iliete permits and
other unlawful practices. it was an
nounced today at prohibition head
quarters.
Commissioner Haynes, devising a
new method OF checking the act- of
directors has established in all
states a set OF new officials desig-
mated Federal Prohibition Agents.
The authority of these general
agents is about equal TO that of the
state directors. They are to super
wise the acts of state directors with
respect to inspection work, and
there also will come under their
notice the conduct of officials and
agents I'm the personal of the state
directors organization.
BY setting up the system of dual
authority within state Directors
organizations, it is said, officials
aim TO overthrow the fixed rules
which have been permitted to gov
ern in liquor matters. Officials here
are said to suspect that many Of
fjcials and many more of the en-
pioyes of the enforcement organiza-
alton still are covered" in the civil
service in such a way that Federal
officials are now allowed to have
free play in their desire to affect re-
forms. BY establishing Federal Pro-
hibition Agents throughout the va
rious States these difficulties may
be overcome in some degree, Of
fcials said.
