It should not be necessary for us to ask a reas on for obedience when God issues a command for His Commandments are never given without the best ol reas ons and’ while they are not always clear to the minds of men it is t»st for US to obey the wisdom and love expressed by Him in the giving of them. He has an eternal plan for us and if we value our place in this plan we must get into tune and stop with His Sabbaths for it is indeed the Di- S'ine link between Him and us. The preservation of the Day ia of .first imi)ortance to us for a dishon- |oured Sabbath is a sure way to na- jtional deterioration. W’here there is jdisobedience there must bo discipline which is not always pleasant when it : comes. There should be no sovmds of la bor, no shouting of week day games or pleasures, no strivings for gain to cal dtlties chtuch and nI.\XY AT COOPERSTOWN Cooperstown, New York, attractive village on Otsego Lake, is claiming a number of Sandhills residents for the summer.

Great Britain has done pretty fair, but John Bull looks across the water to see a big rlevelop- ment that the English relin quished to the colonists, a devel opment built on the greatest as semblage of natural resources men have so far brought into ac tion. Everybody in the family of nations, who had finything worth putting on the counter, has dis posed of .something to Uncle Sam. but none of the boys has grabbed much of anything from under the flag away from him, Primary elections are past, the state convention has conven ed, the unterrified have had their annual pilgrimage to Ral eigh. Friend Cam ^as spoke his piece, and you can spell it peace and most folks agree that the church is entitled to &ome con sideration for the work it does. It asks the observance of that ancient law of remembrance of the seventh day, and probably it is asking but slight return in that the seventh day may be with capital letters, for it was [held principally for the finer side a waving of olive branches and I ot if the other six may be are very glad indeed that the decis ion of the town was to retain the sanctity of the Sabbath for w'e are living in an amazing world which continually presents deep and disturb ing problems to the thoughtful mind and the question of Sabbath observ ance is not the least of them.

But rather it is the thought that comes uppermost as the subject of Sunday baseball is discussed. Baseball is no worse than lots of other things we do on Sunday, and perhaps the idea of playing ball on Sunday is not any worse here sends our Poet verse.

Suitable injuries were inflicted. About the same hour a big Willys-Knight left the road to jump into a bridge abutment and provide three hospital jobs, and claim that the seventh day is the Sabbath, and perhaps the Sab bath is more of a valued func tion in human life than some of us may have realized. The Sabbath is a basic factor in the religious establishment within half an hour a young man of this country and it is the day was knocked out on the high way by a car which left him to be picked up by t'he next comer to be taken to the hospital to be repaired. All these stories are on the same page, and all indicate from the tenor of the narratiee that inexcusable carelessness was responsible. However, there is no moral to be drawn from the tale, and from all that can be interpreted there is a probability that the experience will pass by without any great sensation except in the families of those immediaitely affected. We are making records right along, and the singular feature is that nobody seems to be in the slightest degree con cerned. Nobody appears to'both er to go to the foundation of the on which the church functions more definitely in its material forms than on any other. The forms and ceremonies of the church are like the ceremonials of anything that appeal to peo ple, and if the interest the preacher finds in Sunday’s practices helps to hold the at tention of his people on his work it would probably be unfortunate to in any way weaken the stand ing the church attempts to maintain in its moral control. It is beyond the dispute that many influences are interesting peo ple in other things than the mo ralities and religious habits of the church. In some things the church is bound to find its hold loosening. But it must be conceded that A representative of the American College of Surgeons, on his annual visit to the Moore County Hospital last week, remarked; “I wonder if the people of Moore county appreciate the fine institution they have available to them, and the fine work it is doing.” Senator “Bob” Reynolds scored one second place in the voting of Wash ington correspondents on various qualities and characteristics of mem bers of the U.
