S. F. DUNN, Agent t-Ttr -,-t,mmm THE LORD'S DAY WEEK. April 3rd-10!h, 1910, Should be Observ ed as Requested. For thirty-two years societies seek ing to exalt the Lord's Day in Eu rope and America, have asked God's people to observe one week in April as Lord's Day week. Because we are in the greatest crises in the history of the Sabbath in America, both in the United States and Canada, the International Federation of Sunday Rest Associa tions of America ask with increased emphasis that April 3rd to 10th, 1910, be observed as Lord's Day Week. The liquor and other powers of evil, knowing that if "the Sabbath be destroyed, Christianity will per ish," are attacking this divine gift as never before. In twelve or more states efforts have been made to legalize Sunday sports, mainly Sunday ball games. The wild craze for amusement which always comes on the crest of great national wealth, continues its de basing influence, notwithstanding al! laws of God or man. It is planned to make this attack still more vigor ous the coming year. Hence we ap peal to all lovers of God and human ity to rally at once to the "help of the Lord against the mighty." But first we must praise God for His gift of one day in seven to shut out ordinary work and worldly plea sure and let God have full possession of the inner life; for the defeat of most of the efforts to legalize Sun day sports; for the co-operation of Roman Catholic Bishops, especially in New York and Canada and all Protestant authorities in fighting Sunday sports; for the assurance of the Secretary of the Navy that he will check the Sunday ball games of the Navy; for the passage in South Dakota by a popular vote of a very strong law forbidding Sunday sports; for the hearty co-operation in Cana da of the authorities of the provinces for the enforcement of the law; for the reorganization of the American Sabbath Union lis the Lord's Day Alliance of the United States with plans to secure auxiliaries in every State; and for victories over Sunday lawlessness in the United States and Canada wherever there has been or ganized persistent effort to that end. Will each one prayerfully ask him self the following questions: 1. Do I appreciate the value of che Lord's Day to body, mind and soul and so spend it as that its cleansing and quickening power beautifies my home, social and busi ness life, my relations to my em ployees or my employer and gives me power to put down evil in my com munity and win the perishing Christ? 2. Do I realize the cruelty of driving many to Sunday toil in order to give others amusement on that day, in view of the soul ruin of Sun day sports and Sunday toil as proven by the reports of criminoligists and others who have made a close study of this question, and all testify that Sunday sports so weaken the moral fiber of those who give even a part of the day thereto as to make them a more ready prey to temptation to other crimes ? 3. Am I doing all in my power to better the Sabbath conditions in my own community? Such careful self-examination will prepare for the effective prayer and labor. Praver without self-sacrificing la bor according to opportunity is mockery and labor without wrestling Plenty of fresh air, sleeping out-doors and a plain, nourishing diet are all good and helpful, but the most important of all i s Scott's Emulsion It is the standard treat ment prescribed by phy sicians all over the 'World for this dread disease. It is the ideal food-medicine to heal the lungs and build up the wasting body. FOR SALE BY ALL DRUGGISTS Send JOc., name of paper and this ad. for on beautiful Savinps Bank and Child's Bketoh-Book.

Will all religious editors urge the observance of this week ? Will eve ry pastor put this appeal in the hands of members of his church, preach on the subject and devote one prayer meeting to it this week, or as soon thereafter as may be convenient? Will every young people's society, ministers' meeting, men's clubs or brotherhood, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., W. C. T. U., and local Lord's Day association give one service to study and prayer on this subject? Pray and labor especially: 1. That all Christians may make the whole Sabbath a holy day of joy to young and old, and their homes free from Sunday newspapers and social functions. 2. That all employees may be se cured a full rest day each week. 3. That the nations may be awak ened so as to study history and crim inology as to realize the serious peril of allowing Sunday sports. 4. That the Christian forces of each community may federate for king, persistent work (1) to educate all, especially non-church-goers, by public meetings, use of the press, frequent distribution of leaflets in every horhe, as to the purpose.and value of Sunday laws; (2) to induce every citizen to obey Sunday laws and the proper civic officers to see that they are obeyed.

Advice Concerning Stomach Troubles 'and Bow to Remedy Them. Do not neglect indigestion which leads to all sorts of ills and complica tions. An eminent doctor once said that ninety-five per cent of all the ills of the human body have their origin in a disordered stomach. A physician who made a specialty of stomach troubles, particularly dyspepsia, after years of study, per fected the formula from which Rex all Dyspepsia Tablets are made. Our experience with Rexall Dys pepsia Tablets leads us to believe them to be the greatest remedy known for the relief of acute indi gestion and chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredients are soothing and healing to the inflamed membranes of the stomach. Ther are rich in pepsin, one of the greatest digestive aids known to medicine. The relief they use with persistency and regularity for a short time brings about a Ces sation of the pains caused by stom ach disorders. Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will in sure healthy appetite, aid digestion and promote nutrition. As evidence of our sincere faith in Rexall Dyspep sia Tablets, we ask you to try them at our risk. If they do not give you entire satissaciion, we will return you the money you paid us for them, without question or formality. They come in three sizes, prices 25 cents, 50 cents and $1.00. Remember you can obtain them only at our store. The Rexall Store. E. T. Whitehead Company. THE CARD TABLE. Great Dancer Surrounds The Social Parlor Game. Dr. W. W. Hamilton, of the First Baptist church, Lynch burg, Va., has the following to say about the card table: After an address in a Chicago church recently, a preacher, who had spoken of visiting Auburn, N. Y., was asked by a lady present if he would take a package to her son. On receiv ing an affirmative answer she brought to him a photograph of herself to be given to the son, who was in the penitentiary there. When Dr. Chapman reached Auburn, .he went to the prison and asked for the young man. He was brought into the office and was given the package. Upon opening it he looked intently at the photograph for a little while and said, "Yes, that's my mother. Her hair is grayer than when I saw her last, and my conduct has no doubt help ed to put the gray hairs there." Then, looking up, he asked Dr. Chapman if he was going back to Chicago. "Yes, in about ninety days,'-' was the reply. "Then take this photograph. It was at my mother's table that I took my first drink. It was in my mother's parlor that I played my first game of cards. Drinking and gambling have put me in here for fifteen years. Take this photograph back. I don't want it." In our children go wrong, if they are ever led from the so cial game on to the gambler's hell, if from the first step in sin they go into ruin and shame, it will be a great joy to us if we can say that they did so over our protest and in spite of our example. Happy will we be then, if we have taken the safe side OF THE DOUBT. We are many times asked by those who are seemingly good people if there is any harm in a social game of cards, and also why this particular thing should receive so many thrusts from the pulpit. "May a Christ ian play caids?" is a thorough ly practical question, and one for which we should nave a definite and satisfactory ans wer. If we are Christians merely to have a so-called good time, then there might be some doubt as to the reply made. But when we hear the Saviour's statement of a Christian's pur pose in life there can be but one thing for us to say and do. Hear him, "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that ye should go and bring forth fruit and that your fruit should remain." (Jno. 15:1G.) If we are to be firuit-bearers, then reasons are abundant why we may never touch a deck of cards. Well did John Philip Quinn, the converted gambler, after a life of wretchedness and shame, when gray hairs crowned his head, and when he was begin ning to realize the terrible life he had led, say, "After . all these years of experience and acquaintance with all the pro fessional gamblers in the coun try, I can truly say, the pau- LOK CARD TABLE IS THE KINDER GARDEN OF THE GAMBLER'S hell." In talking with others we have had abundant con firm nt inn of the truth of his statement. The general opin ion among gamblers seems to be that at least two-thirds of those who enter the gambling hell begin at the parlor card table. Then beware, mothers ! beware, young women ! for you are helping the devil drag men into that way which ends in theft and robbery and murder and jail and gallows and eter nal hell, for, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatso ever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Gal. 0:7.) Whose side have we taken in j this matter ? Surely there can be no doubt as to this question, but if there should be even a doubt where do we stand ? Rev. W. R. Cullom in Pastoral Visitor. 1 THE ONLY DAKINC POWDER MADE FROM ROYAL CRAPE CREAM OF TARTAR THE POWELL CASE. The Motion for a Removal of the Case Refused by Judge Ward. The case of State vs. E. E. Powell, Sr., charged with the murder of officer C. W. Dunn, was called in Halifax Superior Court Wednesday of last week. The prisoner was brought into court and arraigned on a bill of indictment for murder. Ex-Governor Charles B. Aycock appeared for the prisoner and asked for a removal of the case to another county. Judge Ward ovei ruled the motion and ordered the case set for to-day (Thursday, 31st.) A venire of one hundred and fifty men, to be taken from the section of the county west of the Atlantic Coast Line rail road, was ordered summoned, from which to select the jury to try the case. The case will be prosecuted by Solicitor J. H. Kerr, and Mr. W. E. Daniel, of Weldon. The defense wi SI he rpnrpopntpd hv F,x-fiovrnor Charles B Aycock and Ex-Judge R. w Wrinston. of Raleigh, and B. S. Gay and Garland Midyette, of Jack- son. It is under.-tood that the plea of the defense will be insanity. Those that faw Powell in the co'.irt room Wednesday say that he ha changed in appearance very much since his arrest and confinement. His quarters in the jail are said to be comfortable. At Powell's request Rev. R. A. McFarland, pastor of the Scotland Neck Baptist church, visited him in jail one day last week, but he did not have much to ray to Mr. McFarland. He claims that his mind is a blank as to the shooting. Stubborn as Mu!es are liver and hcwels sometimes; pcem to halk without cause. Then thereV trouble Lo.s of Appetiti Indirec tion, Nervousness.
