Who Changed the Sabbath
Discussed by Eyang. Perkins

Intense interest prevailed last Sum-
day evening at Golden Cross hall, Au-
gusta. as Evangelist c. o. Perkins
gave Biblical and historical considera-
tion to the Sabbath question, which in
VoiFes the change from Saturday the
seventh. to Sunday, the first day of
the week. and the process by which it
came about.
Mr. Perkins states a few Of his
chief points as follows.
l. The obvious fact that Sunday is
being observed by sincere Christians,
without Biblical authority.
2. The fact that the commandment
stating the seventh day as the Sab
bath. is a part of law. the 10 COM
mardments, which is eternal and un-
chaHgcable as Gods own character.
3. The fact that God. nevertheless.
predicted the rise Of a power that
would think to change the times and
the 1aw.-Daniel 7:25. (Rcvised ver-
stony
4. The actual confession OF this
power which has thought to establish
this change, and which fulflls the
above prediction. as follows from the
"Doctrinal Catechism," pages 101, 174,
352-354:
"Question-Have you any other
way of proving that the church has
cepte'
"Answer-Had she not such power
She could not have done that in which
all modern religionists agree with her
she could not have substituted the
observance OF Sunday, the first day of
the week, for the observance of Satur-
day. the seventh day, change for
which there is no Scriptural authority"
Many other authorities were quoted
by Mr.. Perkins, from both Catholic
and Protestant sources. and from pro-
fame history. which showed the change
OF the day to be a gradual one cover
ing some 200 years. but without Scrip
tural incentive for the change. The
speaker closed with an appeal to re-
turn to the keeping of the command
ments of God. as God gave them.
Next Sunday evening Mr.. Perkins
will speak on the topic THE Seal Of
God and the Mark of the Beast" at
the same time and place. All are in
vited.

Harvard, but his wife spoke no Eng

and with a wonderful poise. They
were asked before hand whether
they would like real Chinese dim

the former. Among the delicacies
served were birds-nest soup, eggs
which had been buried in the

as coal. The soup was not unpleas-

The Frank Martin family of

for the month at Jackson's cot
tages on Little ST. German lake
west of Eagle River, are very en-
thusiastic over their trip by car
up to the lake region, coming last
week. The good roads the entire
four hundred miles certainly APP
peals to them as one of the big
drawing cards for this region; a
certain inducement to the summer
outing person who desires an easy
journey, whether by auto or rail
to this big playground. When a
person can now travel either way
in daylight from Indiana or other
points near Chicago, the hardships
of trip ordinarily are forgotten
by the many easy comforts now
given out to the traveller. It used
to be a hardship to come by train
or auto. Not any more.

They have been lead to believe by

bune that fish grow on trees and
bushes in that country just now
being opened to the touring fish
hound. Their determination is to
secure some of the big fins with
out any extra amount of effort on
their part. The North Woods of
Wisconsin has seen these gentle
men for many summers past, es-
pacially during the fishing season.

Can't License Fair Vendors.

The state treasury agent has
not the right to impose peddler
and transient merchant licenses
upon persons operating stands at
fairs according to an opinion by
Judge George Thompson of the
circuit court of Pepin county in a
test case brought by N. A. Nelson
of Chippewa Falls.
The decision will have a far
reaching effect on the 78 agricul-
tural fairs held in the state each
year. The attorney generals de
partment handled the case for the
slant and is expected to appeal to
the state supreme court.
G. B. Ballard, state treasury
agent, has been collecting fees
from fair concessionaires for sew
eral years under his interpreta-
ton of the law which was sus-
tanned by the attorney generals
department.
