HERRING, Noted Liberal Writer. Lecturer. Preacher Boston. It was blasphemy. God. So thought the Pharisees. model churchmen of their time. They always went to church and never broke the minutest rule oi religion. They be- lieved in the Bible from cover to cover, and never allowed any new fangled faddist to upset their faith. They were the churchmen who were always pull- ing down the blinds to keep new light from break- ing in. This Jesus bothered them. He refused to admit the sanctity of the old Sabbath law. He strode roughshod across their most cher- ished convictions. He took long walks on the Sab. bath. He gathered food and helped sick people on the Sabbath. Those good churchmen were as out- raged as are some modern churchmen when their bovs play base ball on Sunday afternoons. This Sabbath question had been hotly debated by the Jew: They had forgotten that the Sab- bath came from ancient Babylon, where it had been a day for buying off the wrath of angry gods. . The Jews did better with it. They made it a day for remembering God, a day of rest, a day of relief for man and beast. They made it a hu- manitarian institution. The Jewish Sabbath was good. It protected servants from overwork, and oxen from brutal driving. The Sabbath became a bad institu- aion when it simply hedged men in, and continually cried out, No, no, no! The Pharisees made it that. They were smug and pious about it. They were superior in their conceit, con- temptuous in their unsoiled virtue. There is no connection between the Christian Lord’s day and the old Sab- bath. Christians gave up the Sabbath and adopted the, new day. Christianity produced a hew genera- tion of Pharisees who fixed the old rules onto the new day. They wrote blue laws into the codes of New Eng- land. 'They sought to impose the spirit of the old Pharisaism upon the law of America. ‘This is not C#ristian, it is not Amer- ican. Jesusarsaid that His new spirit of freedom rises above the old order. The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sab- bath. He said that holy days are for the good of men The Sabbath is good. wark of peace and rest. The Lord's day is also good. It is a day for the creation of health, the deepening of spiritual insight, the stir- ring of the mind. This day belongs to man, is sacred to man, and by that sign is always holy. MUSIC TAKOMA PARK RECITAL. A group of broad-minded and earnest musicians has established a worthy community . effort in the Associated Music Studios of Takoma. Park, one of the most delightful of the many sub- urban sections of Washington. Last night in a little parish hall in Takoma. Park, Camille Allensworth, one of the four in this group, presented a num- ber of children in demonstration and recital, using the Fletcher-Copp method. The audience, which practi- cally filled the hall, had many imper- sonally interested citizens in it as well as the usual parents and relatives of the youthful performers. Mrs. Coralinn B. Tuttle, specialist in children’s choral work, gave an inter- esting demonstration with a musical fantasy in which children with colored paper headgear or neckwear to sug- gest the different flowers were roses, daffodils, a_buttercup, a columbine, pansies and violets, and one of the littlest girls in_bright green rompers was “A Little Green Bug,” according to her song. and quite one of the cutest events of the evening. The vocal idea was good, but it did seem to need one of the standard types of rhythmic dancing such as Alyse Bent- ley used to teach children in schools here or the Dalcroze method to go hand In hand with the choral work. The little steps the children did do were the simplest and of their own in- vention. They would get so much more out of these songs with real rhythmic training. Miss Allensworth demonstrated how the tiny tots learn go surprisingly easy (that is surprisingly easy to one brought up on old piano methods) the transposition into many keys of a simple melody, the harmonic bugbears of triads, dominant sevenths, and major sixths, and, along with it and so important, the ease of playing be- DR.

Such a method is certainly a great advance over the older ways of training chil- dren.

Two laws God has written n all of nature and life —the law of stew ardship and the law of the Sab- bath. One-tenth of our income and one-seventh of our time, God tells us, belong to Him.

Hence, in the Ten Com- mandments it whs written, “Remem- ber the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” The Sabbath was already in existence when the tén commandments were given.

Hence He was indeed Lord even of | the Sabbath day. His utterance to | these legalistic Pharisees was intend- ed to correct their error in keeping the letter of the Sabbath law at the same time that they violated its es sential epirit. The Sabbath was designed primarily for two things—rest and worship. The | heart rests between its beats, the | lungs between their respirations, and even a machine will break down un- less it has its time of rest. The whole | experience of the human race, from primitive times through the French revolution, when they tried to substi- tute one day of rest in 10 for the one in seven, down to our own strenuous and overwrought era, has demon strated that one day in seven is vi tally necessary for the physical, men- tal and spiritual health of man Therefore, Sabbath observance is the | highest form of social sanctity. The Jewish Sabbath has hee; changed to the Christian “Lord’s day | | | Christ on “the first day of the week. Therefcre, Christ, as Lord of the Sab- bath, is best honored and obeyed by keeping the Sabbath for holy and spir- itual things. One has beautifully sald that the Sabbath is “an oasis in the desert, here the way-worn traveler drinks of the fountain of the water of life and eats the fruit of the tree of life.” (Copyright. 1926.)

The missing boat, readily identified as the property of a local fisherman, was found beached not far from Col. Grant’s house.

Thirdly, Sir Arthur Frensham had a friend in Stirling who would surely lend him a first rate car. Lastly, 1 was particularly anxious to stop you from being a fool, and I think I was only just in time.” Furneaux stepped into the middle of the road, and extended his arms. | The car which John had heard in the distance drew up. In a few seconds they were speeding through the park. Spot was not forgotten. It was with a wrench that his master resolved to leave him to his own devices until daylight. Frensham was driving, with Shel- don by his side, so John could enly exchange a word of greeting with his stanch friend. But Frensham did _manage to throw over his shoulder a somewhat remarkable comment: “So the old man turned up trumps after alf, Johnnie?" “YOU WILL FIND A ROAST DUCK FAR MORE DIGESTIBLE, SIR.” “Yes, thank goodness,” sald Panton. “I thought thought so, Leslfe!™ John could not fathom the depth of this remark. It puzzled him, but slipped his mind at the moment in the emotion of alighting once more at the steps of his old home, and gazing through the open doorway into the familiar vista of the great entrance hall, with its noble stair- case rising at the back. The butler was ready for him. It was he who flung wide the door and now hurried to the side of the car. “Welcome back to Inverlochtte, Master John,” he said, with a digni- fied bow. *“His lordship told me you were expected, so your room Iis ready.

The countryside unrolled beneath him. Glancing sidewise he saw that Roger's | plane, a mile away o the south, after | having chosen a higher aititude, was slightly behind him.

It was not a neck-and-neck race. dent could keep either of them from reaching the destination on time, though there was no time to spare, and to miss a connection at Chicago or Cheyenne, where pianes and pilots were waiting, would be near! He had to refuel at Cleveland. Cleveland, he reasoned, after a. glance at his wrist watch, was about four or five hours off. He had time. as he expected to get there before dusk. Consequently, he _throttled down slightly from the high speed he had taken on leaving the field. Rogers forged ahead. 1t you machine tearing off to the westward. He watched it disappear in a low bank of clouds, appear farther and then it was lost. New Brunswick unfolded beneath him. The next town of any size he would pick up would be Easton, Pa.

Penn sylvania began to ribbon out belo a queer succession of towns and ham- lets and tiny rivers. Mountains loomed far in the distance; beyond them, he recalled, Cleveland was not far and the first leg of his flight would be completed. . As he tore on his eyes roving speculatively over the countryside, he wondered where Rogers could be. Un- doubtedly, his rival had made every ounce of speed he could. anticipating trouble in advance. It was 3 o'clock. Jimmy's features took on an earnest expression and again he advanced his throttles. Possibly Rogers was right ~—there might be obstacles ahead somewhere; it was well to make time while he could. Time! The race, after all, against time as well as Rogers. He leaned forward and roared on. The countryside, bright green with Spring and splashed with virgin blossomings, unrolled like a staged panorama under the outspread wings of the Homing Pigeon. Suddenly his motor gave a cough, a sputter. He bent forward to listen, but the sound did rot come again at once. About to sit back, he was startled to hear. the rhythm of the motor broken again. . ‘Might be anything.” he muttered to himself; but there was a frown be- tween his eyes. He kept on, searching the horizon for a sign of Roger's ship. But the horizon was empty. All the world within sight was empty, for that mat- ter, except for occasional farmhouses scattered over a wide area. .For 10 minutes more he kept o the sporadic breaks in his motor’ free rhythm persisted.

The pilot's mind immediately reacted to the impending danger. He was confronted with the alterna- tive of swerving to one side and thus risking the loss of a wing, or of at. tempting to jump the obstruction and trust to luck on the farther side. He accepted the latter. Pushing forward his throttle, he pulled slightly on the stick, scared easily into the air, and a few seconds later had again placed the tail and wheels of his ship on the ground. But the added impetus that the jump had given had carried him too far. Ahead was another stone fence. Jimmy realized instantly that he could not stop his ship before he reached it; so digging his tail-skid into the ground, he sought to make a | ground loop. But the turning radius | was too slight. With a groan of anguish and a momentary sensation of sickening dread. he saw his right wing collide with the fence and heard in the same second the rip of tearing | fabric an§ the crash of splintering framewo For an_instant he sat still in his cockpit. He was safe, he realized, un- harmed; and with the realization he| gave a bitter laugh. Safe—but so far as he was concerned he had lost his race around the world almost before | it had fairly started. He crawled stiffly out of the cockpit and examined the damaged wing. It took only an instant for him to con- vince himself that it was wrecked be vond hope of immediate repair. And he was miles away from help of any kind; Even to tramp to the nearest telephone and order another ship was futile: it could not arrive in time to enable him to make connections at Seattle. The bitterness of his thoughts wi lonely silence. .o sit thera “Might as well It was far ot to do,” he It was-of no use, anywa ind hemoan his fate. he decided. He threw back the protective cowl- ing over the engines and began his in spection. 1In a few seconds, muttering to himself, he had exhausted the pos- sibility of the trouble having been in sither the oil line, which was perfect ean, or the ignition. Next he was prying at the carbu retor, and when its vitals were re- jvealed, he stared at it bewilderediy. |then poked a tentative finger into the liquid it contained. There was r feel to it—none of the of high-gravity gas. He his_finger and poked it in his mouth: then bent his head and drew a deep byeath. Suddenly he started, his eyes wide with anger and disbelief. “Well I'm damned!” he exclaimed. Naphtha—moth balls!” The thing seemed impossible: vet there was no real doubt of it. Some. one had dropped moth balls into his gasoline tank. He sat down to con sider who it might have been. At last he shook his head with a long sigh What did it matter, anyway? He had lost. Rogers—or simply someone who had a bet on the race. It couldn’t have been Rogers, anvway. It was done that was enough. He had tost. His own thirty thbusand—Billy's twenty; how long would it take him to repay? And Frances. . . How beautaful she had been when he had sald good- by before repairing to the club—how beautiful and unreproachable! Lost forever. Everything lost. And Rogers soaring over the country west- ward. Jimmy gritted his teeth and found that his last realization hurt more than all the rest. He was startled. What did it mean? But he was awakened from his reverie with a start; against the drums of his ears there vibrated a familiar sound—the roar of an air- plane motor. It was already growing dusk, but his eyes swept the clean sky and he gave a sharp exclamation of surprise. A plane was bearing down from the east—a large plane, he suspected, though he could not see it too clearly through the gathering twilight. Could it be Rogers? But no, Rogers was far ahead. His next thought was that the plane might be that of an airmail pilot. If it was, could it be induced to stop? He doubted it; but hope had already lighted a new fire in his breast, and as the Ship tore on toward him, Jimmy rushed out in the fleld waving his arms madly.
