In one instance the transac-1 tion is by degrees, but the result in ! the end will be the same. "Disobedience to law tends t<' brepd contempt for all constituted I authority. Obedience to law is < . ential to any well r< gidated goV-< I e.rnment. My personal opinion does ! not. release me from the obligation | to obey the law that i placed ,on ; our statute book. Too many people, ha ve felt that because they did not; approve 'if the law, they should not : obey it. This tendnecy will, if tin-! checked, bring certain destruction ! to our government and civilization, j "There is a tendem y to execute 1 and inflict punishment without due! proc;-s of .the law. in our own county a few nights ago a tragedy ( occurred because htis idea prevail- 1 ed. 1 do not know the crim,, that 1 this negro had committed if any—j but the men who visited his home l under the cover of darkness, with I the apparent purpose of inflicting j punishment, did so with fearful consequences to themselves. In many instances mob rnle has held sway in our country. If a man is guilty of a crime, there is a law, and the court stands ready to try and inflict proper punishment. Mob law must be condemned and those guilty of this crime must be brought to justice, or w e shall suf-1 fer the fearful consequences that: most certainly will follow. , "Another dangerous tendency is I I a disregard for the Sabbath. The I primary purpose of the Sakbath is I to show the ownership of (iod and' ito foster the religious life. No one can doubt the necessity for 'the Sabbath in pur civilization. When God said, ‘Remember the Sabbath j I days to keeep it hold. Six days shalt j 1 tthou and do all thy work; but | j the Seventh day is the Sabbath of j I the Lord thy God,’ h e meant it for ' | all times and ages.

In our town and county it would not be difficult to fimlipJaces of hu.-i --ness open, transacting business on the Sabbath —even though it is, a i violation of the law.: The reason I for this Sabbath violation in busi i ness is two-fold: First?'Many turn* pie have afsal e conception of right. ; nd for the sake of convenienee dti sire others to spend the Sutbbnth' day at work. In the second place many violate the Sabbath for the gain that they receive. The result of ail the Sabbath violation will be • ; een in the attitude .of the children of t’li; day, v’Heii they have grown to adulthood. Tlie ' habit 'of ilisre g arding the S-bbelh day is one that will grow in'tin- yMii-s rto come,, if p ‘ichecked, until it will mean that the Sabbdth will be pnly as any other day. : i’ho fiiilurc to observe the ,Sabbath will be >a calamity to any section. “la regard to the SabbatTr let me make this , suggestion to our, people.
