SABBATH LAWS CONDEMNED BY CHURCH SYNOD CHICAGO, June 21. (AP) Over-strict Sabbath observances and blue lawa were condemned todsy at the 34tb triennial con vention of the Evangelical Luth eran Synod as not faithfully In terpreting Christianity and aa causing barm. "The Christian religion la not. a creed of morbid restrictions and dampening prohibitions." It was declared In a statement of the church's code of belle. "The Luther: n eburch believes that those teachers In tbe outward Christian church who Insist up on tbe Old Testament spirit and legislation for a day and ags when 'old things are passed away' are not only misinterpret ing the evident Intention of our Lord, but are guilty of the more serious sin of keeping men away from Christ." In denouncing efforts to re store puritanical Sabbath obser vances, tbe Lutheran confessions asserted that the Sabbath era has passed away. Further, legislation can only restrain." the statemen' adds. It cannot reform. Laws can remove temptation to o wrong. but they cannot make a man will to do right. They can close up baseball parks am, movie houses, but they cannot make a man temperate.. Only the spirit of God. working throng', tbe gos pel, can produce real morality and rlghteouaness.
