Pace Tw? f ' ? I THE OLD GRAY ^ ' T By Rev. E. Philip Ellis ? <"X',X"X-i-i-Wi"iMlK><X-W',X-X,*W'' v ? - 1 Sunday movies I i It appears to me that at such a time as this our state should urge the necessity of a more cor- t -dial relation with ail flll wise j Providence, instead of passing a law legalizing Sunday nj.ovi.es. s - Petitions \yeiit before the propel l authorities protesting against , such an enactment. On the pthei hand there were many who were \ in favor of the passage of such , ... a law. The Ministers Union of j which I am a member drafted strong resolutions against the measure. Even among us some " were in favor of it. Both sides i were ably represented. But after all the law. prevailed to the sad '< rgret of quit*. a few of us and I am in that number. Others may sec ditTerent but as Tor me that < law seems to be strictly against inc tout ui wiiimaiiuiiiciiv wiiiwii \%*as given by God Himself. Now T have no civicism for those who see- dirtcren*But what I~ cannot i understand is what day is to be kept for holy rest and spiritual improvement. Jesus Christ observed a day of rest, and communion with His God, We learn in Holy "Writ" that God worked six days and rested on. the sev enth. But in keeping with the law made possible for the three counties in this state including that of Charleston that day i s blotted out and we are privileged to work all the days and gfive-God_ _ none. Well I cannot see it that way and while others can do as they will pi may. I?am going to_ preach Sabbath conservation and zrrr-"- that one- day out -of -seven -belongs to God. Six days shalt thou Labor jand do all thy _work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord Thy God, etc. A i.rand occasion Stf.

Ministers Interdenominational Union coning with the pastor's request. The program in part follows: Presentation of the Union's president, Dr. R. E. Brogdon by Dr.. D. N. Wilson. Dr. Wilson was at his ~best and reflected _ credit upon himself. "Djv Brogdons address was a masterpiece to sdy the least. Speakers for the occasion} were: Dr. C. S. Ledbetter, who electrified his audiertce a s only he can. Dr. J. W. Curry made the hit of his lifd in hismatchless address and Dr. J. C. Dunbar cap lured the entire audience?in?his ? address. Dr. S.
