BURGLARS EFFECTIVE IN A
WHOLESALE RAID AT RIVES
Burglars Made a General Haul Sat-
urday Morning at Rives.

Burglars made general raid on
the business houses at Rives last Sat
urday morning at O'Clock. They
broke into three stores and the post
office. An alarm was given and cit
liens were aroused and rushed to the
place of action in time to see one or
more of the fleeing burglars, firing
a few shots at them. But the bandit
car made its escape.
The Shore & Phebus Companys
safe was opened and notes to the val
ue of $4,000 and $3.50 in cash were
taken. The safe at Harper & Shores
was opened and $40 taken. Nothing
is missing either from Bonner &
Sons or T. A. Cummings safe and
nothing of value seems to have been
taken from the postoffice. Blood
hounds from Dyersburg were ordered
but the trail was lost. This is one
Of the most daring robberies we have
had in some time.

Dr. John Royal Harris.

DR.. John Royal Harris, represent
ing the National Reform Society,
addressed a small audience here
last Sunday afternoon at Jim
mics Playhouse, under the auspices
of the Christian Endeavor. The
constant rainfall last Sunday pre-
vented a general attendance. There
was also some hitch in the ad
vertising campaign, which oper-
ated against the work. DR.. Har-
ris' friends in Union City have never

| deavoring to do. They are bande,

others better. This work is attende,
with many blessings, some of whicl
are better schools and churches, bet

izenship. That being so every par

work of the community and then thu
y tics will disappear and the mora
atmosphere will undergo an entir'
change.
Rev. J. M. Pickens, presiding eldel
of the Union City circuit, was presen
and called on for an address. Tht
minister said that he did not ex
pect to be present, but he would en-
deavor to make few remarks
There are great many elements
needed to make up life. Most i'm.
portant among these are the early
habits. 1t is important to acquire
the habit of study. Many others, es,
pecially those emphasized by the
Hi-Y, are very essential to the max
ing of life. The minister then pro
ceeded to recall an incident of his
own life. He is a native of Hender-
son County and one afternoon in the
cotton field he let his angry pas
sions rise and the result was a les
son that he never forgot. His father
was a shoemaker, and the strap OF
leather that pater used in instilling
this lesson made it impressive and
lasting.
Father is not pleased with us un-
til we do our best. He wants us to
have strong bodies and that is the
reason why athletics are encouraged.
Strength of body will contribute to
strength of mind if we but give the
proper attention to each of these ele-
ments. But great scholar may be
ignorant of the Bible and the most
essential element in the making OF
man is lacking. The future citi-
zenship depends on Christian homes
and the principles instilled by this
body of young men will be large
factor in the work. Henry w. Grady
passing thru the city of Washington
looked up at the majestic capitol and
said this is the home of the greatest
nation in the world. Passing thru
another section of country he came
to a lonely farmhouse and around
the fireside he beheld the small fam
lily group at evening worship. This,
he said after rejecting upon his
words in Washington, is the real
home of the greatest nation OF the
world.
Mr.. Clyde Williams, vice president
of the Troy organization, said the
Troy Hi-Y had it's origin in
of the Hi-Y at Rock Island,
Tenn. A few of the young men were
there. and attended the conference,
and thereupon determined to have
a club of their own at Troy The

of October, resulting from the eff
forts made by Messrs. Ralph Nc
Dade and others. The boys then

was a combination of chicken and

excellent treat.

come to anything like a mutual un.
derstanding.
DR.. Harris spoke on the subject
"Is Sunday an American Mistaken
He opened with the remark that this
would not be blue afternoon, not
withstanding the fact that the sky is
blue and the American flag is streak
ed with blue. But the American Re-
form Society is not advocating blue
laws. There is no inquisition in this
work. Tracing his lines back to the
! Puritans, DR.. Harris said that, not
| withstanding the fact that our ante
cedents were people of primitive
faith and simple habits, they never
promulgated the idea that man
could not kiss his wife on Sunday.
This was attributed to the Puritans,
but was never found to be a fact and
never confirmed No descendant of
the Mayfiower colony is ashamed of
his ancestry. These people kept the
Sabbath three hundred years before
the Liberty Bell rang for the indie
pendence of the colonies.
The American Sunday is an insti-
tuition that has been sanctioned by
the Supreme Court of the United
States. 1t is considered by that body
as day of civic rest. The court did
not treat of the subject in religious
sense. They left that to the choice of
the churches. But, said DR.. Harris,
it is matter of scientific knowledge
that every work day reduces the
sources of energy, so that at the end
of the week man is only ninety per
cent normal physically and mental
ly, and God, the creator of the uni
verse, very wisely ordained a day of
rest to take up and restore the lost
energy. Men ignore this law of ma
ture and pay the penalty of the vio-
lation in loss of health and strength.
God also calls us to give an account
of our stewardship and appoints a
day Of rest for the observance and
recognition of the Holy Spirit.
Proceeding to the modern Sunday,
DR.. Harris said no attempt is being
made by the National Reform Society
to impose restrictions in the shape
of blue laws upon our people. No eff
fort is being made by the organiza-
tioh to interfere with necessary
transportation and traffic. We are
only asked to refrain from those avo-
cations, sports and amusements on
Sunday which are not altogether nee
essary, and the only change pro-
vided by the Bryant-Bratton bill in
the last Legislature was the suspen-
sion of Sunday movies and Sunday.
baseball. Our Mr.. Bratton was one |
of the trainers of the bill.
No nation on earth can live and |
thrive and refuse to observe the
weekly Sabbath day of rest. 1t is
Gods plan, a religious as we'll as a
scientific principle, and it is after all |
an American national institution and |
should be respected by every Ameri-
can citizen.
