THURSDAY, OCTOBER M. 1M*. PENNSYLVANIA MAY 1^,, BE MORE LIBERAL ft' ?' ' O*. 1 : -3yT w i , Campaign for Modification of Blue Laws. i u\ Em ^ Philadelphia, Pa.—Determined to liberalize the Pennsylvania blue law* passed In 17W, an amalfamation lias been effected between two of the prin cipal organization* favoring modifica tion of the law insofar as It affects Bunday amusements here. The Anti-Blue Law Association of Pennsylvania, which, according to John Mather, chairman of its board of directors, represents more than ' 1500,000 members, has merged with the Open Sunday league of Pennsylvania for the common cause. The latter or ganization claims to have 375,000 mcmluM-s.. r In furtherance of the campaign or the combined organizations, the news papers of the state, 80 per cent of irhlch are said to favor liberalization of the law, ore being canvassed to de termine the attitude of the people of the state toward a proposed modifica tion or repeal of the 1794 statutes. Considerable Impetus has been given the movement by a decision Of the Danphln County court at Harrisburg. The court, In effect, held that an in dividual con be penalized only to the extent of a $4 fine for violation of the Sunday closing law, and that the char ter of an amusement park, for in stance, cannot be revoked If held by an individual because an Individual has no charter to revoke. Cafls Statute Ludicrous. 1 The' case considered the operations bn Sunday of Woodslde park, an amusement park near here. The pro prietor was fined $4 and has paid It every Monday while the park has been In operation. Officials of the Anti- Bine Law association and Open Sun day league have pointed out that un der the decision of the Dauphin coun ty court the 1794 statutes constitute *das8 legislation” because while on Individual cnu operate by paying, a small fine, corporations, such as the Philadelphia baseball clubs, are not permitted to open, as they run the danger of quo warranto proceeding*. The Athletics, Philadelphia American \leaffoe club, had such an experience some time ugo. Mather hold* that the decision of the ''ourt make* the 1794 statute •more Judicrous than ever.” “If the Inw permits an Individual to play baseball or operate motion pic tures on Sunday," Mather said, "then It la nothing more than elks* legisla tion when the same right\ la denied corporations. “The law a* It exists on tie statute books :.t pfesent could. If forced, Stop the railroad companies fnWoper- atlng trains, bar the operatloV, of street cars, busses, automobiles, t phone, telegraph, and even radio, as All these are ‘wordly buslnes*.’" Pointing out that a ‘‘commercial Sunday" Is not desired or welcomed by his organization. Mather declared that he is cot so much concerned with the open or closed question os he I* irltli the fact that Pennsylvania is made ‘‘a !nughlng stock" In other states which do not have such strin gent laws. "The blue luw of 1794 must be re pealed or modified," Mat her said. ‘‘Too long have the poor people been made to seek their recreation and pastime in other states on Sunday. Pennsyl vania drives its people and visitor* ©ut the latter part of the week. Peo ple who work five or six days n week are most surely entitled to some en tertainment Sunday afternoon and evening." r in i EL: President Hoover’s Fishing Camp Newspaper correspondents along with photographers finally have been admitted to President Hoover's fishing camp in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, and this Is one of the first pictures they made there.

Trained Sent A trained sou) nnd even when makes glorious the Rev. Floyd W. Tom Victory tins the victory Ingly defeatet’ rk of God.— Though oar citizenship is In heaven, we have obligation to the government under which we live. I. Obligation to Pay Tribute (Mark 12:13-17). This teaching concerning the tribute money came in answer to the question put to Jesus by representatives of thq Pharisees and Herod. T)iey would gladly have killed him, but they feared the people. Their only hope was to discredit him among the people. L Their question (v. 14). Is It lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? The Pharisees contended that since God was the real king of UraeL it was not obligatory—yea, even sin ful—to pay taxes to a heathen king. The Herodlana were supporters of Herod. With flattery on their Ups, they put this subtle question. For Christ to have answered "yes" would have discredited Him with the people, and to have said "no" would have made Him liable to arrest as an enemy of the government. , 2. Jesus’ reply (vv. 15-17). # He requested a coin to be brought and inquired as to whose image and superscription it bore, declaring that those who accept the coin of Caesar should pay taxes to Caesar. Thus the Lord escapes their trap and Inculcates a principle which applies to all time and conditions as to the Christian's responsibility to civil government. II. Ths Christian's Obligation to tht Stata (Rom. 13:1-7). The believer Is a citizen as well as a Christian. 1. Obedience to rulers (vv. 1-4). This obligation is upon all Chris tians. Civil government is ordained of God, and rulers are His represent atives. To refuse obedience to civil authority Is to resist God. This does not mean that a Christian at the be hest of the state should do that which I* inherently wrong. The same is true of the child in Its responsibility to Its parents. While obedience to parents Is the will of God for children, this does not imply that the child fs un der obligation to do that which Is morally wrong, at the command of the parents. Submission to authority is the law of the believer's life. 2. The spirit In whfch the Christian renders obedience to rulers (v. 5). He.should regard It as his obligation becanse it fa morally right. 3. Methods of expressing this obedi ence (vv. 0, 7). , (1) In the payment of personal and property taxes. The citizen who en- Joys the benefits of government is morally bound to support It (2) Payment of duty upon merchan dise, and license fees. The business exchange between nations must be regulated. For such regulations, ex- j pense is incurred, for which benefit the citizen should pay. (3) Veneration for magistrates— "Fear to whom fear." Those who have the fear of God In their hearts will venerate their rul ers, God’s representatives. (4) "Honor to whom rfonor." Civil officers should be honored because of the ministry they perform. III. The Spirit of Loyalty to Author Ity (I Pet. 2:13-17). Tha loyalty of the Christian to richt authority should he glad and free. The Christian recognizes the necessity of social order, and will graciously submit to the authority of rulers and faithfully perform his obligation as a citizen, not through cringing fear, but as the Lord’s free man, for the Lord’s sake. By means of this free submis sion as God’s servant, be put* to si lence the Ignorance of foolish men (vv. 15,16). L Honor all men (v. it).. He will see in every man the Image of God and therefore give honor to him. A Christian will attend to the proprieties of life among all classes and in all relations. (2) Love the brotherhood (v. 17). The Christian has a peculiar love for those who are of the same hbusehold. (3) Fear God (v. 17). This Is filial, reverential fear. 1 (4) Honor the king (v. 17). * This id a peculiar significance, for In all fobabttity the wicked Nero was then reigning monarch.
