JTTLY HI, 1922 'GOSPEL BY FORCE .NOT TRUE GOSPEL STATES SPEAKER TEACHING STAFF if we get "trimmed" we shall need all the free stuff we can get. "Also, can we get some dairymen near there to bring us enough Milage every day to feed our eatllo stuff? If that can be arranged we shall not have to break them over onto beot pulp. Could you call someone up and get us a price on this?" AT STATE FAIR INST Business Day i-M'-ri Jiacn way IS E A, RELIGIOUS FAITH IS "A union of church and state has been the cause of more trouble, suf fering and bloodshed than the great world war of 1914." This was a statement made by the speaker yesterday at the tent near tho city park. Mr. Thurston claimed the "gospel by force" Idea is not the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Ho stated that "no law, rlvll or divine, can make a sin ner righteous." If sinners can be and are made righteous by law, Christ did not need to die upon Cul vury." . . After giving several scriptural texts i in proof that tho church was given the "word and the Holy Spirit for her weapons," and that with these she wins her battles against evils of this world, ho declared "Christ never gave his church a sword of steel, but ho id tell Peter to put up his sword, when he attempted to defend Ills Lord." In part tho speaker said, "When tho apostles had all passed away, the church gained in numbers. During the first three centuries, three mil lion were put to death by tho Pagan Home. A large part of the church then left the plain teaching of tho word of Clod, and lost the power1 of the. Holly Spirit1.' She forsook the 'sword of the' spirit given by her Lord. Having lost her heavenly power, she sought and , gained tho civil power. This was accomplished in a largo measure by .means of Sun day legislation. : "The church of that plan was not to' give men physical rest. First, the , law forbade. hiborrjNcxt pjay was for M bidden. A mail could' neither .work nor play. It Is plain that tho Whole plan was to compel people to go to church. This was done lateri by civil law. With a union of church and state, tho world was filled with woe for twelve hundred and sixty long, dreary years. "Tho American idea Is that tho dictates of conscience are sacred. The only limit is that a man shall re spect tho equal rights of his neighbor. "We have been prosperous and happy for near a century and a half under our constitution which was made to protect every citizen. Be fore congress three Sunday bills have been placed. Many petitions have been sent out by church people, urg ing; congress to pass these measures; "When America shall have a union of church and state . by, means, of Sunday legislation, there will be nn exttct Image of what' was; produced in tlio-ihird;(i.i)d fourth centuries.'

Gl Codding Shows He's a Good Sport i In Spite Defeat George Codding of Medford made a graceful and sportsmanlike an nouncement when he moved that the vote for George Wilbur , of Hood Kivcr, for commander, bo made unanimous.

"But I do object to ..the actions of thoso who picked my opponent." , Ono might have heard a pin drop Uhe convention floor.

And now the William de Mlllo screen version of it, which comes to the Pago theatre tomorrow matinee for a four-days' engagement, probably will thrill them even more effectively. So well known Is tho story of this popular play that to1 repeat it seems quite superfluous. It need only be said that the picture follows the story of the play with faithful exactitude, diverting only In those v' slight in stances where divprsion meant bet- torment, i For its direction, the picture could not have been in abler hands than those of William de Mille. Heading a popular cast . are the popular, stars Agnes Ayres and Jack Holt, each pos sessing a .creditable host .of laurels In .their support arc such favorites as Walter Hiers, the rotund comedian, Leah Wyant and George Kuwa.
