LANDSCAPE SCENES, DISPLAYED
BY MRS. A. Y. SMITH IN PARISH
HOUSE, PROVE REAL. MAGNET

Portraying with exceptional accur.
acy and appealing beauty the wond.
erful landscape views of the Arizona
desert and mountains in Cochist
county, as well as the compelling
grandeur OF that wonder of wonders
the Grand canyon of the Colorado
E22 framed canvases were placed or
exhibition in the Parish. house oI
the Episcopal church yesterdy after
noon my Mrs. a. Y. Smith, one Of
Arizona's foremost artists. At the first
showing, which opened at in the
afternoon, there was an enthusiastic
response by the people of Douglas
scores visiting the display.
1t will be of interest, to those who
want to see the exhibition, to know
that the Parish house will be open
for the public view each afternoon
from 2 until and evenings from
7:30 until $50. so that before tbs
close, which will be next Monday
evening, ample time will be afforded
for all to enjoy this interesting and
worth while collection of art.
Each individual painting is a
separate and individual pleasure to
anyone who enjoys the artistic in
color and beautiful in nature Each
one might well be the theme for a
dissertation on the art involved, buc
in consideration for the daily news,
only resume of the completed ex-
hibit with occasional high lights on
some of the outstanding pieces is
possible. Naturally, to the people of
Douglas, the landscapes of Cochise
county stand forth prominently In
interest. And so those two portraying
what the artist terms "Cochise
Stronghold" become of absorbing con-
Germ in a visit to the display Caught
at the two inSpirational periods Of
the dayAin the early morning when
the things of nature call with a
command for action, and in the eve

retreating sun and the spirit of man
turns to thoughts of home and rest

the selection of the coloring and the

CHRISTIANITY
CONNOTES GOOD
CITIZENSHIP

"A man can hardly be Christian
without being a loyal citizen of his
country" said Evangelist Moran in his
lecture on the United States in Proph-
ecy at the Seventh-Day Adventist
church last night
In support of this statement he read
Romans 13:1-5, ."Let every soul be sub
lect unto the higher powers The
powers that be are ordained of God
Wherefore We must needs be subject,
not only for wrath, but also for con-
science sake" "ThiS instruction was
given,p said Moran "to the people liv-
ing under the Roman empire, a gov
ernment whose leaders were corrupt,
whose state religion was paganiSm, and
many of whose laws were deSpotic.
Yet God expected those early Chris
tions to be law-abiding citizens except
only when the laws of the state con-
tradicted the law of God. Then they
would have to say as did the apostles,
we ought to obey God rather than
men How much more thankful and
loyal we should be who live in ma
ton founded upon the principles of
civil and religious liberty.
Christ laid down the fundamental
principle of entire separation between
church and state when He said, Rem
der therefore unto Caesar the things
which are Caesars and unto God the
things that are Gods The United
States was the first nation ever es-
tabljshed upon this principle. Has God
ever mentioned the United States in
Bible prophecy? Yes, in the latter
part of Revelation 13 is a symbol
which undoubtedly refers to our own
nation. The prophecy not only tells
when, where and how the nation would
arise, but describes it's form of govern
ment and points out the dangers that
will develop whenever the United
States abandons the principles of re-
ligious liberty upon which it was es-
tablisheds
Moran then discussed the prophecy
of Revelation 13:11-17 showing that
it applied to the United States. The
dragon voice shows that this nation
will at some time follow in the foot
steps OF other prosecuting powers by
making religious laws, Such laws have
always led to intolerance and more or
less persecution. The movement now
on foot, sponsored by the National
Reform association, the Lords Day AL
lance, and others, to influence con-
gress to pass a national Sunday blue
law, is the beginning of the fulfill
ment of this prophecy. A bill pro-
posing such a law is before the present
congress.
The subject for tomorrow night was
announced as "Steps To Christ"
"What Must 1 Do. To Be Saved?" is
the question that will be answered
from Gods holy word.
