Al.l.IANOK HKHAlil). THUtHPAV, JAM AHV 31. Ifl Clipped From Our Exchanges M i Kl I! IS. AHKKHTKD Garden County News: David C. Outson, of the west table, war arrested by Sheriff Clark last week on a charpd of failure 10 regis ter. He is a married man 2? yais old, and admitted his delinquency, but declared that he had been in'one ed and led to believe that there was but one day on which he could have repitered; that he started for his plate of registration on time but on acccount of accidents and floods, he could not reach the place on that day. Thinking that there was no possible extension of time for regis tering, and that he was liable abso lutely to a severe punishment, he kept quiet about the matter until he was apprehended. The Outson family are among the most respected citizens of the west ern part of the county. One of the boys enlisted last summer inithe Sixth regiment, Nebraska National Guard, and is now In the II. S. Army at Deming, N. M. Mrs. Outson was down at Deming visiting the boy and knew nothing about David's trouble. Deputy U. S. Marshall at Lincoln arrived here Monday morning; and took David to Omaha, to appear be fore the Fedoral Court to plead to the of failure to comply with the, draft law. Thlsds a serious offence In the of the law, and the penalty, we un derstand is ei'J ei a heavy fine, or jail sentence, or both. Of cou.se, on a plea of guilty on the part of the prisoner there might be a chance to secure suspension of sentence and immediate induction Into the mili tary service, considering tin good re putation Of the defendant.

The Sabbath a Boon, Not a Burden (vv. 23-28). It has been suggested that this passage, particularly verse 23, Indicates something of the poverty and simplicity of the lives of the disciples, that they lived not only a day at n time but literally from hand to mouth. America Is the most prodigal nation on the globe, but It Is today facing the ne cessity of conservation and retrench ment, not because It Is desired but of necessity Id winning this great world war struggle. Perhaps this will prove to be a boon growing out of the dark ness of the days through which we are passing. Notice that the disciplines were not particularly criticized because they plucked and appropriated the grain that belonged Jo another even though It was for their bodily needs, but be cause they did It on the Sabbath duy. The Jewish law permitted them to take that which did not belong to them because of their necessity, but would not permit them to do It on the first day of the week. The criticism of the Pharisees, based upon Deut. 5:14; Ex. 31 :15, though apparently scriptural, was, however, based upou an Incom plete knowledge and application ol those scriptures. Jesus shows them first that ceremonial prescriptions and laws must give way before the needs of man and he cites the cuse of David us un illustration. Again he shows them that the demands of the temple service were superior to the prescrip tions of the common law (See Mutt. 12:5, 0), that he, himself. Is greater than the temple for he Is the one In whom God tabernacled (John 1:14 It V. Margin). The Sabbath law there fore must give way before the neces sity of Chrlstiun service. Again he shows thut mercy is mor than sacri fice, and so ceremonial demunds must give way before the needs of mercy and compassion, lie also shows them thut the Sabbath was made for man (vv. 27, 28) rather than man for the Sabbuth. He, the "Son of Man," Is the consummation and head of the race, Lord even of the Sabbath, and as Lord of the Sabbath he has set, aside the Beveuth day Sabbath, which was the shadow of things to come (Col. 2:17) and belongs to the old order and dis pensation. It is true thut we have no right to Judge any man regarding the Sabbuth (Col. 2:10, 17), but us Chris tlans who are "risen with Christ" (CoL 3:1) we ure to keep the Lord's Duy, (Bee, 1 :10), the first duy of the week, (Acts 20:7) the resurrection duy, and are under no law whatever to keep the seventh duy. II. A Proper Use of the Lord' Day (Cb. 8:1-5). It la somewhat unfortu nate, our divisions of the Scripture In to chapters and verses. Tola next passage is really a practical applica tion and Illustration of the principle with which Jesus has Just been deal ing. It was the custom of Jesus to frequent the synagogue on the Sab bath Day (Luke 4:10), the day upon which the Jews still gathered In large numbers. We need to note (v. 2) that the question which was asked of him was not e fair question, not so much honest seeking for information, but rather thus "watched bim" for the wanton to find something witn wnicn to trap him. Jesus tnught that It la lawful to do good on the Sabbath Day, that it is lawful to henl on the Sab bath Day (Matt. 12:10) that It la law ful to restore a lost ass or ox on the Sabbath Day (Luke 14:5; Matt. 12:11) that a man la of more value than a sheep (Mntt. 12:13), and that the new method and new times demanded new applications (Mark 2 :21, 22). In these teachings Jesus does not necessarily abolish or abrogate the ancient fourth commandment, but rather the misin terpretation, misuse and misapplica tion of the Sabbath law. For a cor rect Interpretation of the Old Testa ment Sabbath see Isa. 58:13, 14.' The difference between the Jewish Sabbath and Christian Lord s Day Is a matter of counting! we begin to count nt the point of the resurrection of Jesus. The Sabbath Day Is a means to an end; It Is not the end Itself. America's Great Heritage. The mau was really and orgnnl cnlly Blck ; he had a withered hand which all could see no "moral error" about It nt all, and he was really heal ed. The Lord's Day Is America's great heritage. Are we going to throw It away? It Is of economic value as well ns a spiritual heritage. The observ ance of a day of rest has actually In creased the amount of output In the munition factories of England. In this land of hustle and bustle the brain needs the rest, the soul the feeding, and the body the relaxation which Sun day observance alone cuu furnish. CIVIL SKHVICK KXAMS United Stnfcn Civ.
