Saturday, Not Sunday
Is the Sabbath, Says
Evangelist Perkins J

1.-THE seventh day, not the first
Saturday-not Sunday. Is the Sab
bath day according to the Bible" de-
clares Evangelist c. .. Perkins,
AS proof for the above assertion,
Mr.. Perkins advances seven points
as follows:
l. The direct command of God in
the ten commandments.-(E Exodus 20:
SID.
?. Absence of Bible proof that
God, or Christ ever repealed, or au-
thoriZed anyone to repeal, the above
commandment.
3. The fact that the orthodox
Jews continue to observe the Sab
bath commandment On the appointed
by God.
4. According to Christ, the Sab
bath was made for man mark 2: 2O
and not simply for the Jews: and
| that the Sabbath was instituted in
Eden, some $500 years before there
ever was jew.
5. The evidence of our every day
calendars. which desiGnates Sunday
as the first day. making Saturday.
Therefore, the seventh day.
6. The absence Of Bible proof
where God, Christ, or the Apostles.
observed as a substitute for or in
addition to. the Sabbath OF the fourth
commandment.
Z. The fact that when We all ap-
pear before the judgment seat OF
Chist. we will be judged by Gods
law as contained in the ten COM
n,andments; (James 2: 1912; Ec-
clesiastes IL: 10. Ia which, therefore,
would not admit of change without
that change were recorded some
where in His word, which He gives
us as a lamp unto our feet, and
light unto our path. Psalms 119:
1867.
notwithstanding all these facts, we
now see nearly the whole Christian
world including Catholics and the
Protestant denominations, each con-
taing share of sincere. God fearing
members, yet, observing as the Sab
bath, the first day Of the week.
Just how this has come about,
when, where. and why 1t began, and
who assumes the responsibility for
the change. will be the interesting
topic for consideration Sunday even

NORTH CAROLINA
 MILLS CURTAILING
Bad Textile Business Is Frankly
 Given As Reason

GREENSBORO. \. C.. April. )- Curtailment in production at the Proximity and White Oak miles and at the Proximity print works have been anuonced by the Proximity Manu- featuring company, effective April 21.
 After that date three plants will be operated four days a week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but will remain idle Friday and Sat urtlay.
 Bad business in the textile world is given frankly as the reason. Der nard NJ. Cone, president of the Prox- imity Manufacturing company, which operates the plants, said yesterday that the curtailment had become necessary on account of inability to sell the goods. He had no idea. he said. how long the curtailment would remain in force as that would necessarily depend on busi- ness conditions.
 The Revolution mill has announced no -curtai1ment yet. Sigmund Stern berger, treasurer said yesterday.
 The Proximity and White Oak cur tailment- plans follow the policy that has been adopted by cotton mills all over North and South Carolina. Men in close touch with the textile situation estimated yesterday that a majority of the mills have already taken steps to curtail production. Some of the mills have been closed down entirely, but the number is relatively small A great many more,- probably a majority, run ming threeaor four days a week. Some have adopted the plan of operating four-fifths of their machinery five days week, which nets the same production as running full time four days a week.
 Stocks of goods on hand at virtual ly all mills are understood, to be un- usually large. Sales Lave been small and with the mills continuing to turn out goods the storehouses have been piled high.
 The curtailment of the Proximity, White Oak and print works plants will affect more than 1000 opera tives.
