children's wearing apparel has been

People talk fo civic improvements
—will you please tell us what
couragcment there is to plant and
care for flowers, and vines, or other
small plants, including gardens, with
from one to half do/en worthless
curs digging and trailing thru them
the whole day or night?
The righteous wrath of law-abid-
ing citizens ought to count for some-
thing. With la\ police protection
what can we do? People who care
more for law and order than for con-
tinuous neighborhood rows feel lash-
ed into submission. Complaints to
the city officials bring little more
than temporary relief.
People will tie or shut in an en-
closure dogs or chickens for a day
or so and out they go at the same
destructive work. People who keep
these useless dogs are as a rule lax
in their views of th- "(iolden Rule."
They ar - so to such an extent as to
resent or ignore a kind request to
care for their pets, be they chickens
or dogs, and nothing but drastic
measures will swerve them from
their tenacious nten to keep
their dogs and let them run free it
the whole town is driven to distrac-
tion thru their wanton desires. And
what are dogs for in a town but to
disturb our peaceful sleep at night
by barking and night prowling
why nor discard the dogs?
Here is one place patience ceases
to be a virtue, lit us hope some
way may be found to preserve our
flower* and shrubbery from thei
worthless cur. :md neighborhood
chicken.
A citizen who loves and is
deeply interested in civic im-
provements of Norman

LAYMEN'S ALLIANCE
"Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy." "Six days shalt thou
labor and do all thy work."
You will find the above quotation
in the 20th chapter of Kxodus. It
is one of the ten commandments
brought down by Moses from Mt.
Sinar to the people of Israel. Sab
bath observance was practiced strict
ly by the orthodox Jews throughout
their long history. It has been ad-
opted >y all i hristian nations ami
incorporated in their laws with pen-
alties for non-observance.
If we have any Divine authority
for any law it is Sabbath observance
1 hat Divine fcaw has been latified
l y the congress of the I'nited States
and by the legislatures of the sev-
eral states. Some laws are man
made. 'I hey may be good laws and
beneficent laws, but we have no
biblical authority for making them
I hey are the crystalix.ition of public
sentiment. It is the mature judge
merit of the people after long ex per
itnee that \v need such lavs but
4 have indirect Divine authority
r making them.
But Sabbath observance is both
Divine and a human law. All j
good citizens of a democracy will !
bey human laws passed by a ma- 1
jorifty. All Clffistians will obey |
Divine law. Kvcn if we should j
doubt or deny the Divine authority I
for the observance of one day in sev- |
en ,'is a day oi ri^st and devotion we
should welcome it as a blessed privi-
lege.
Amidst the strife and stress and
turmoil of life on this mundane
sphere the Sabbath is a haven of rest |
in which we may lay down our cares ,
and our labor and allow our minds
to dwell on thoughts of love and
joy and peace and good v\ ill to men
It you list iu tin- I'nited States and
enjoy its, protection and multifold
advantages obey the laws made by
the majority. If you believe in tin
tyivine origin of the ten command-
ments you will refrain from labor
on the Sabbath without legal inhibi-
tions. Rest ami attend religion*
service- on the Sabbath day and yen
will grow in grace and beauty of
character and gentility of pirit
Sabbaths are the filling stations on
the journey of life where we may re
charge our physical, intellectual and
spiritual batteries, replenish our ^as
oline, and fill our tires with cush-
ioned air so that we may run
smoothly and safely over the rough
and rocky roads of our earthly e\
Utence.
