A fellow that would not 20 to

something seriously the matter with
his dome. II was one Of the most
delightful days 30 far as weather Is
concerned, that one could hope 70
ever see. II was so delightful. We
cannot see how a human being
could stay away from the house 81

AVALANCHE SERMONETTES
BY the Office Preacher

Supported By the efforts Of many
of the best people of Washington
City, n measure has been introduced
into Congress asking for a law for
the maintaining Of the sanctlty Of
the Sabbath in the District OF CO.
lumhia. This has brought forth the
opposition Of those who wish to
secularize the Sabbath by making
il a day Of labor, day Of recr"a-
ton and amusement, with the work
attendant UPON such courses. This
opposition is formulated by and
centered in an organization known
as the Religious Liberty Association,
with c. S. Longacre as general IN
ternational secretary, Tokoma lark,
Washington. The Presbyterian has
this TO say in commenting on the
matter: "A society opposing the
sixth, eighth, or ninth commandment
might as well call itself Religious
Liberty Association as one that op-
noses the fourth commandment II
Is one law and rests back on the
divine authority. Grant the right
10 break one of these Laws, and you
grant the right 20 break any Of
them. According to the Word Of
God and the testimony Of history,
the maintenance Of the Sabbath Is
absolutely necessary FOR the prcser-
vation Of the life and morals 81 this
nation. Every Christian and every
LOYAL American should rise ia OPP
