SHAME TO "CHRISTIAN AMERICA" Journal Editor: We are spoken of and call our na tion "Christian America" but are we truly "Christian" which means liv ing as Christ would live, doing only those things he would approve. Strangers and foreigners might eas liy mistake (?) us for Heathen, or even worse, a nation of Sabbath dese crators, for many just reasons, but the one I want especially to mention now, is this last Sabbath town less than 20 miles in a small from your filled with to see on city. Church goers were indignation, and shame Main street, signs "Rodeo Today" with reading thus: arrows pointing the way to go, leaving the "plain road" to follow a winding side road, as is always the way to sin. In Spain or Mexico one would not be surprised at such things, for they have not Ween taught that "rodeos" "Bull and Cock Fights" are wrong, and a sin against God. when they held it on His holy Sabbath. Any one having lived on a farm or ranch knows that there is unavoid able cruelty in subduing and break ing cattle and horses, but where those things are done simply for amuse ments (?) and entertainmcnt( ?) of even boys and girls, to say nothing of their parents, who are supposed ( ?) to lead them in the way of truth and right living, it is a shame, and dis grace, and should not be permitted. There are laws both moral and civil. against "Sabbath desecration. God s commandment, ('Remember the Sab bath day and keep it holy" a day of rest unto the Lord (for Sabbath means rest) is just as binding now as when written by his hand on tables of stone (symbolical of the human heart) ages ago. "Blessed is that na tion, whose God is the Lord." Many nations have forgotten Him and His commandments and are now on the verge of chaos and ruin, and so will ours he it we torsaice not ionowing their evil example. We have been greatly blessed and prospered in the past, but our punishment for sin brought upon ourselves for disobed ience to God's laws have already be gun the Lord will not always chide, neither will He hold His anger for ever. God's admonitinos in regard to the Sabbath are many, so are the blessings promised nations, and in dividuals who observe them, but just as many and sure, are the punish ments promised for failure to do so. Time and space will not permit quot ing but two. Isaiah 59: 1-2, "Behold the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your in quiters have separated between you and your God, and your sin.s have hid His face from you that He will not hear." (Read the whole chapter). In glorious contrast, are the promises given. Isiah 58: 131-14. If thou turn away thy fool from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day. and call the Sabbath delight, the holy of the Lord and nhall honor Him, not doing thine own ways, nor find ing thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words, then shalt thou de light thyself in the Lord, and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob, they father, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. Blessed is that na tion God is the Lord, but sin is a re proach to any people." Christians, rise in this strength, and do not permit this evil, to be repeated, next Sabbath, or any ether. In closing I ask all who read this to read and ponder, Malachi, 3 and 4 chapters. A SUBSCRIBER. The Dennison line offers you year round entertainment goods.

Great Britain and the United States agreed today upon measures designed to stem the tide of illicit liquor shipments flowing into America. Brigadier General Lin- coin C.

The government officially forecasts bumper rice crops in Japan and Korea, the latter being estimated at 0 per cent increase over 925. Al- though the season is late, the excel- lent weather is expected to bring an exceptional harvest. Japan, which is still predominating an agricultural country, is optimistic over its eco- nomic future because of the crop out- look. The Japanese farmers last year in- creased their income by 750,000,000 yen, or half the amount of the na- tional budget over the preceding 12 months, which served to liquidate the bulk of the rural indebtedness. If similar agricultural prosperity comes this season it will go far toward eradicating the adverse trade balance and start the nation on the ungrade economically for the nret time eiuce the po&t- war slump. ' W & w IT 1 JQJJ lVllIlllcltCS Paris Statute in Protest of U. S. Russian Laborer Says H Smashed Soldiers' Figures to Redress Frances' Grievances Paris, July 2o. Nicholas Jaroven ko, a 39-year-old Russian laborer, Tuesday mutilated the figures of a French poilu and an American soldier at the foot of the Alan Seegar statue in the Places des Etats Unis, as an act of protest against the United States. The monument was erected in honor of the American volunteers who serv ed with the French in the world war and was unveiled in 1923. Jarovenko admitted to the police that his act was premeditated and that while he planned to smash the figure of the American soldier, be in advertently broke the hand of the French poilu. lie used a stone mason's hammer which he bought Sunday. At firet, Jarovenko told the police he wanted to demonstrate against the United States because it has refused credits to France, causing an eco- i nomic crisis serious for the workers. Later he gave a rambling story, enuni , crating allegeed grievances of France ' against the United States, ranging from the sentencing of Sacco and Vanzetti to the exchange crisis, which he holds responsible for his being out of work. He threw in a few caustic remarks about Americans wearing tortoise shell-rimmed glasses. He con- fidered it his duty as a Russian ally of the French, to seek redress for those fnevanccs. he said, Jarovenko may receive a maximum Prison sentence of two years and a f'n0 of 500 francs for his act. But while the Plic,e believe he is sane, tho?e who worked with him say he would uoi pats an i n leniKf nci" icsi. Before the police succeeded in get- ting to Jarovenko, he had broken off a leg and an arm from the Ameri can figure and a hand from the poilu. As a precautionary measure, the police then placed extra guards about the American ESmbassy and chancel lery. PROTEST GRADING RULES Hutchison. Kas., July 27.
