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.
Charged with the theft of an
automobile owned by Harold
Downs on the evening ot May 24
Stanley Howard, long-haired dis
hevelled appearing young man.
went on trial before a Jury ot 12
men this mornlngg.

witness against Howard was the

how his car was stolen from in
front of the Pelican theatre on
the night ot May 24, and of Its

of Stukel mountain.
Harry Bolrln. deputy district
