conscience. We would oppose a
law to make Saturday the official
rest day of the nation as vigorous
ly as we would the one which rec
ognizes Sunday"
The members of the local church
then adopted statement concern
ing civil and religious liberty and
the question of Sunday blue laws"
as follows:
We, the representatives of that
body of Christian believers known
as Seventh-day Adventists herewith
set forth our views on the subject
of civil government and religion.
We recognize the American consti-
tuition as the greatest and finest
document ever framed by the hand
of man, and we intellectually
pledge our loyalty in the preserva-
ton of the principles set forth in
that matchless document
We believe that every man has
the right of worshiping or not wor-
Shipping God in harmony with the
dictates of his own conscience. We
stand for the religious liberty of
every man to practice his faith as
his own conscience dictates, with
out civil interference, as long as in
so doing he is not guilty Of acts
which are criminal, per Sc.
We contend not for our opinions
but for the right to hold or change
our opinions, and to practice the
same without mourning civil penal
ties, so long as this does not lead
to the violation of the equal rights
of others.
We believe that moral principles
are Interchangeable and eternal, ap-
plicable to all men and on every
day of the week. Civil and relig-
ious questions should not be con-
founded, nor should the civil gov
eminent intermingle its functions
with those of the church.
We believe that the proper func-
lions of civil authority pertain to
civil affairs only, and that the
church should confine itself to spir-
itual matters only. We believe that
Jesus Christ drew sharp line of
demarcation between the separate
and distinct functions of the civil
government and religion when He
said, Render therefore unto Gaze
sar the things that are Caesars and
unto God the things that are Gods
We hold with Roger Williams, the
great American apostle of soul lib
erty, that the magistrate should
not punish breach of the Sab
BATH Also, with John Wesley,
| when he said, "Abhor every ap-
proach in any kind or degree, to
the spirit of persecution. If you
! cannot reason nor persuade a man
into the truth, never attempt to
force a man into it. If love will not
| compel him to come, leave him to
God the Judge of ALL
| We trust and pray that Congress
will ever continue to safeguard the
constitutional guarantees of civil
and religious freedom vouchsafed
to every citizen, and will refer all
religious questions back to the
churches for promotion and propa
cation, instead of placing religious
obligations and observances under

the police power of the state for
their enforcement under civil pen
alties, so that all religions aDd cit.
liens, irrespective Of their religious
convictions, may stand on the same
equality before the law.
We affirm our loyalty to the con.
stitution and to the authority Of
civil government in civil matters;
and shall always pray that the peo-
pie in our great republic may en-
joy equal and impartial justice and
liberty, and that unparalleled peace
and prosperity may continue to be
our happy heritage as the result of
the triumph of the fundamental
principles of human rights.

IRMERS TOLOSE
OLD MARKET SITE
..'oduce Dealers Must Evac.
uate by Early February,
Treasury Demands.

The Maryland and Virginia truck
rmers who use the Farmers Pro-
zee Market are now confronted with
e loss of a central gathering place
the distribution of food stuffs az
result of new demands made on the
istrict Commissioners today by the
reasury Department for complete
Z. '.,'acuation of the present market site
! le latter part of January or early
J nbruary.
Originally it was planned to dis
''antle the sheds on only one-half of
I re market site the latter part of this
,onth and allow the farmers to use
he other half until new location is
'rovided for the market. The Treas
r~y Department, however, advised the
commissioners that when work is
arted on the new Internal Revenue
!,uilding, it would be undertaken On
he entire site including square $50,
.',st recently acquired, instead of only
on one portion of the ground in the
interest of economy, and that it want

Face Loss of Market.
The Commissioners have not yet Sc
locted a site for the new Farmers
Market, although this matter is being
Aiven serious consideration, and indi-
cations are that after a location is
recommended to Congress it may take
several months or longer to get an ap-
preparation for purchasing the proper
~. In the meantime the farmers will
he without a market unless the Com
miSSionerS can arrange temporary
quarters for them.
Tho c,ICCoSfion WAS made fo the
Commissioners some time ago that
the truck farmers be located tenn
porarily along the sidewalk on the
south side of B street between Ninth
and Tenth streets opposite the Gen.
ter Market. In view of the Treasury
Departments latest notice, considera-
tion will be given this proposal. The
request of the Treasury Department
for the possession of the entire mar
ket site was contained in letter from
Carl T. Schuneman. Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury.

The letter read in part:
References are made to your letter,

statement that the westerly half of
the site can be placed at the disposi-
ton os the Treasury Department by

is desired to invite your attention to
