SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25. (Spe
cial.) With the primary campaign vir
tually closed. California is on the eve
of an election which will probably be
recorded as the most apathetic in the
history of the state. Although some of
the candidates were in the field con
ducting an active fight as long ago as
last February, little Interest has been
shown by the people until within the
last 10 days, when the fight for the
Republican nomination for the gover
norship narrowed down in a field of
six candidates to a scrap between the
incumbent, William D. Stephens, ap
pointee of Hiram Johnson and heir to
the Jobnson machine and policies, and
James Rolph, Mayor of San Francia.-.o,
and champion of labor.
There is little doubt that Stcpnons
will win the nomination handily. ;.nd
that his election in November will fol
low. The registration In the state Is
more than two to one Republican over
the Democratic voters.
Henry Haa Hard Fight Ahead.
On the Democratic end of the pri
mary, it now seems probable that
Francis J. Heney, who ha3 made a
strenuous campaign on the strength of
his alleged "exposure" of the packers,
will win the Bourbon nomination. How
ever, he will be crowded closely, if not
nosed out, by Thomas Lee Woolwine,
the fighting young District Attorney of
Los Angeles County, who has been in
the contest since early in the year,
Gilman, Federal Director of the North
west district of the Railroad Adminis
tration, was the first of the graduates
to be called for duty at Camp Lewis
Hospital. Miss Gilman is already in
service there.
The commander at Camp Lewis has
asked the Surgeon-General's permis
sion to have most of the Reed College
reconstruction workers finish train
ing with post-graduate work in the
hospital there. This practical experi
ence in a military hospital between the
conclusion of the course at the college
and the call for active duty, it Is be
lieved, will be most valuable.
Of the 180 members of the recon
struction class now finishing its course
at Reed, 95 per cent have filed appli
cations for Government service at home
or abroad.
Medical officers from Vancouver
Barracks will give memberi of the
outgoing class the necessary physical
examinations this week. Next week

apostles ever changed the sacredness of the
day from the seventh to the first. He
showed front' the New Testament that
Jesus was a seventh-day Sabbath-keeper,
that he taught his disciples to observe the
day. and that his apostles in turn left many
evidences where they both observed it and
taught others to do so.
Mr. Dickson not only gave a clear expo
sition concerning the sacredness of the
seventh day and the Immutability of the
fourth commandment, but also examined
every text in the New Testament In which
the first day was mentioned, and declared
that in not one Instance was" the day set
aside for religious purposes. After showing
that those who observe Sunday as the Sab
bath have no Bible authority for doing so,
Christ's relation to the Sabbath has been
seriously misunderstood, and it is not un
common to hear it said of him. and with
some show of triumph by those who should
know better, that Christ brcke the Sabbath.

OAKS PARK IS CROWDED
FLTIXG COXCEJSIOS DO GREAT
B LSI. ESS. DUE TO HEAT.
Manager Cordray Estimates Attendance
as Greatest Sunday Gathering of
. a
the Season.
Rising temperature sent throngs to
Oaks Amusement Park yesterday.
Thousands lounged on the benches or
cn the grassy lawn awaiting the call
to a picnic dinner in the ivy-clad ar
bors. The concessions, especially those
that offered flying trips through the
open spaces, were patronized to full
capacity. Tha river also called to
many. Manager John F. Cordray esti
mated the crowd that pasaed through
the turnstiles up to 4 o'clock as the
greatest Sunday gathering of the sea
son.
Ten thousand early comers saw two
performances of "Rip Van Winkle, Jr.."
tha new musical comedy by the Arm
strong Folly Company.
Miss Flora Sims carried the lead at
Mrs. Rip with graciousness and effec
tiveness. Her solo, "Indiana," sung
with much sincerity, won instant favor.
Miss Elsa Brosche, an addition to the
company, has a striking appearance
that will make ner popular witn oaks
patrons. She sang "If He can Iovt
Like He Can Fight, with much sweet
ness. EJ Armstrong, in the role of Rip, de

and well. He has neither asked cor
given quarter, and has shown up Hen
ey's record as an opportunist in poli
tics and a man of no party except tha.
which he seeks to secure a nomination
from at the moment.
Heney also seeks the Progressive
nomination, which is not a factor in
the campaign. It is pointed out that
Woolwine has never been beaten in a
political campaign, whereat' Heney has
never won.
Mayor Rolph Running Third.
Rolph is also making a fight for the
Democratic nomination as well as the
Republican, but it is conceded he will
be a very poor third. He is figured to
run second for the Republican nomina
tion, but not close enough to worry
Stephens. Other Republican candidates
are J. O. Hayes, of San Jose, brother
of Congressman E. A. Hayes, and owner
with him of the San Jose Mercury
Herald. Hayes is an old-line Repub
lican and has made a strong fight. He
will undoubtedly run third.
District Attorney Charles M. Flckert,
of San Francisco, who prosecuted the
Mooney and other bomb conspiracy
cases arising out of the preparedness
day murders of 1916, has made a whirl
wind finish to a .rather weak cam
paign, and will run fourth and pos
Bibly fifth. Flckert has attacked Gov
ernor Stephens fiercely for his action
In postponing decision on the Presi
dent's request for a review of the
Mooney case until after the November
election, and has made his battle cry
"Down with the L W. W."
Of the other Republican candidates
Charles A. A. McGee. a lawyer of San
Diego, who entered the fight late, has
made a good showing, but the best he
can do will be to tussle with Fickert for
fourth or fifth place.
Sixth pla.ee will undoubtedly go to
Judge Walter Bordweli, of Los An
geles, a former Superior judge, who
also came in late and will probably poll
a complimentary vote of his friends.
Stephens' Strength Shown.
The crystallization of public senti
ment around Stephens is ascribed to
three things. First, a fear that Rolph
might become Governor, carrying into
the state the same surrender of every
thing in sight to labor and the same
reckless extravagance in government
that have marked his administration of
San Francisco's affairs for six years.
becond. the fear that if the Republ!
cans nominate anyone but Stephens,
Heney might win the Governorthlp in
November. Third, a realization of the
fact that Stephens has made a good
record as war Governor, that he is
sate and sane and conservative, and
that it is not good business to swap
horses In the middle of the stream.
For lieutenant-Governor, the candi
dates are C. C. Young, of Herkiley,
Speaker of the Assembly; Arthur IL
Breed, of Oakland, president pro tern
pore of Senate, and Joseph H. Rom
inger. of Long Beach, State Senator
and author of the Rominger partial
prohibition amendment to be voted on
in Xovember, on which Rominger is
making his campaign.
One Lone Democrat In Field.
These three are Republicans. The
lone Democratic candidate is J. V. Sny
der, th Grass Valley editor and grand
president of the Native Sons. Frank
C. Jordan, Republican Secretarv of
State; Friend W. Richardson, Treas
urer; John S. Chambers, Controller
U. S. Webb, Attorney-General, and W.
S. Kingsbury, Surveyor-General, are
unopposed for the Republican nomina
tion, and all will be re-elected handily
In November. Julius Kahn, incumbent.
is unopposed for the Republican nomi
nation for Congress in the Fourth Dis
trict, and will be returned. Three can
didates are contending for th Su
preme Court Associate Justiceships:
Curtis D. Wilbur, of Los Angeles, in
cumbent, and Thomas J. Lennon, of
San Francisco, and William C. Lorigan,
of San Jose. This will be a close race.
It is expected that the Republican
National Committee will bring Its big
guns into play in the campaign after
the primary between Stephens and
Heney for the Governorship, if they
are th nominees.

The second mention of the first day Is
Mark, lG:l-2: "And when the Sabbath was

spices, that they might come and anoint

l:l-3,lt is stated, 'all' things were made by
him ; and without him was not anything
made that was made.' John makes himself
very clear that he is speaking1 of the cre
ation, for he says, la the beginning.
Therefore, Christ in the statement which he
makes In our text refers us to his work at
the end of the creation week when by
great, unchangeable acts, he made the
bath. It seems clear, then, that the Chris
tian Sabbath ls the Sabbath of creation.
Three acts entered into the establishment
of the- Sabbatic Institution. First, "he
rested on the seventh day." Second, "God
blessed the seventh day." Third, he "sancti
fied it." Therefore, these three great acts
are irrevocable, for they were performed
by him who change to not, and In whom there
is no variableness, neither shadow of turn
ing That which God haa placed his bless
ing upon we are told Is blessed forever, and
insofar as puny man Is concerned, he cannot
reverse It. (I Chron, 17:JT; Num., 23 20).
God did not sanctify or set apart a seventh
part of time, but rather rested on, blessed
and sanctified "the seventh day" of the
first week of time, and of every week of
time, which should come consecutively in
all the history of the world. For "the Sab
bath was made for man, not for the Jew-man
alone, tut for all mankind, which, therefore,
would include all nationalities, both Jew
and Gentile, and this word "man" in the
original is used tn the generic sense, and
cannot be confined to a particular class of
mankind.
This is clear because of the fact that this
Christian Sabbath, made by our Saviour,
was made two thousand years before a Jew
existed. And that it was not confined to
tho period this side of Sinai, where the law
was given, may be readily understood from
the fact that the Sabbath commandment of
the decalogue says, ".Remember," which im
mediately points the mind back to an insti
tution the Israelites were familiar with
prior to the giving of the law. At least one
month prior to tne proclaiming or tne law
