 QuibbIe


 far from being an unimportant quibble, they believe the matter of Sabbath observance is fully as im- portant as any other command ment. The Sabbath is called Gods "sign." No other day would do, any more than another flag would do for patriotic citizensl
 They will show you that the substitution of Sunday for the Sabbath crept into the church long after the death of Christ, and was admittedly sanctioned by the church of later centuries and thus passed along to Prot estantism today.
 Seventh-day Adyentists feel that they have a divine mission today in helping to Restore the old participating mankind again to the requirements of Gods law, and the grace of Jesus that saves us from its penalty.
 They feel the urgency of world conditions permits no frivolous conduct, but demands a sober, ra- tional outlook, frightened by the hope of an eternity in a new and perfect world.

 Your Seventh-day Adventist friends are quite orthodox. They believe the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. They adhere to observance of the Ten Com. mandments, having no part in present-day attempts to abolish them as a rule of right and the standard of Gods judgment.
 They also believe that the law condemns man completely, be- cause its sole purpose is to point out sin-and we all have sinned. Our only hope of ever receiving life eternal is in accepting the un- merited favor of Christ. We are then under His grace. But the law is still there and will con- demn us as often as we sin.
 Adventists believe that the seventh day of the week, now called Saturday, was conseerat- cd by God, according to the fourth commandment, at crea- tion (ExOdus 2O:11) and has been observed by many faithful ones ever since, and they Ob- serve it today.

Virginia: CrodIe of Democracy

Ridiculous! The idea that Democrats
are afraid of the Republican guberna-
torial candidate in Virginia. History
tells us that Virginia is the cradle of
democracy It is a well-known fact
that the new 10th district went haywire
last November when many Democrats
voted for Republicans and Independents
locally and in the national election.
Now year after the seed was Sown
the harvest is ripe for Democrats to
receive taunt from the boastful mi
nority group who have SNUG feeling
of success come election day next
month. It will be interesting to note
the resultant effort of the Republican
Party in Virginia on that day. Why
such persistence by new residents in
the State to change our political life
when older inhabitants lived in peace
and harmony for many years under
the Democratic system? The two-party
system is not wanted in the State Of
Virginia

Five decades back juvenile delin-
quency was almost as common sub
ject of discussion in the
juvenile press as it is now. The
Delinquency Star of October 13, 1903
quoted the New York
Tribune as follows: Down in that
part of the lower East Side where gangs
flourish most there has grown up in the
past IL months brand-new kind of
gang 1t is made up of young girls
and the tales told of them would seem
ridiculous were it not for the fact that
in the last two weeks three of (the
glrlS) have been arrested and their
deeds recounted under oath by police
men in court" Different forms of rob-
berry were the principal crimes in which
the girls indulged. Most of the girls
in the gang, which operates along Ham
ilton, Chambers and Roosevelt streets
at night, are either the sisters or the
sweethearts of the young toughs in the
Yakey Yake gang Some are merely
admirers of the deeds of these young
toughs, while others are confirmed
readers of dime novels and are fired
to crime by the heroes of this sort OF
literature. The Children'S Court
first brought to public notice this gang
OF young girls" Bridgetta Colonna,
"a pretty girl of 15," was brought in by
police officers on the complaint of her
mother, who accused her of being
member of gang of girls who robbed
men and otherwise badly conducted
themselves" Investigation of the ca
reer Of the Colonna girl brought to
light the existence of her gang.

Or rather will we just continue to settle
back on "the faith of our fathers" as
our fathers and their fathers did?

Spires Of the Spirit

Nine men in ten are suicides. So
declares Benjamin Franklin in pene-
trating observation from Poor Rich
ard" OF course, he was not claiming
that 80 per cent of those in obituary
lists are found by the coroner to have
ended their mortal lives by Self-inflic-
ton. He is emphasizing the solemn
fact that most people by their own
practices Slay the bigger and better
selves they might have been; they go
out of this life with most of their
powers never having been awakened
and expanded If suicide is self
der, then Franklin is not indulging in
fantastic hyperbole when he says that
most deaths are suicides. That hate
full word usually suggests the act of
those who, without waiting for the one
clear call, by their own acts shuttle off
this mortal coil.
But we are not now facing the tragic
and battling story of those whose final
earth-life record is: Died by his own
hand" We are thinking, rather, of
the vaSter number who kill the poten-
tialitieS which lie in the cradle of their
being, who smother to death the opu-
lent miracles of their stomorroWs; who
inter in the Sepulcher of the might
have-beens the radiant promises hidden
in their birth, certificates, and who thus
never come to their own.
It was this appalling rate of suicide
which deeply concerned that Matchless
One. who declared: "I am the life. I
am come that We might have life more
abundantly." When He dealt with
death, that Supreme Teacher seldom
was thinking of what we usually speak
of as the deceased. To Him. death was
something darker and more terrible
than that. For Christ, the dead were
never to be found in the cemeteries.
He saw dead men and women all about
Him, walking along the city streets,
bowling, with embroidered robes, in the
synagogue; bartering in the market
places, entering the thresholds of
homes. For the One whose coming
broke the ages in two the Prodigal Son,
whose story He told in deathless ca
denceS, was a suicide. When that res
tive boy gave up the wholesome heri-
tage of the fathers house for the swine
and the harlots of the far country, he
was not really having his fling with
life; he was embracing death, he was
literally taking his own life. How sig
niflcant are the words on the lips of
the rejoicing father as the wiser and
sadder boy heads homeward: This my
son was dead, and is alive!"
Now that sort of a prodigal orgy, in
which one spends life'S treasure like the
proverblal drunken sailor, is not the
only way to commit spiritual suicide.

CopItol York penitentiary yes
Punishment terday for the murder
of their uncle nearly
two years ago has caused revival OF
the agitation for the abolition of the
death penalty in that State. Had only
one murderer been executed no at
tention whatever would have been paid
to the matter. But the case of the
Van Wormer brothers has aroused con-
siderable interest throughout the Com
monwealth, and to some extent outside,
owing to the peculiar circumstances OF
the crime and the determined efforts
made by their friends to secure their
release or reprieve. The prisoners
ranged in age from % to %. They slew
their uncle because they hated him,
their hatred primarily arising because
he foreclosed a mortgage on the prop
erty of their stepmother. The murder,
planned in cold blood, was brutally
accomplished, and only chain of for
tunate circumstances permitted the de-
lection of the criminals, while the con-
fession of an accomplice, who is now
serving an 18-year sentence, fastened
the guilt upon them beyond question.
There is no reason for reopening of
the old issue of capital punishment on
the score of the execution Of these
brothers. Their case does not appeal
strongly to public sympathies. II capi-
tai punishment is right, 1t should pre-
vail. whatever the character or age or
