The Law of the Sabbath
Just before the editor of
this paper, Mr. Martin, left for
his much deserved vacation,
he came to me and asked me
to write an article for his
paper in his absence. This I
agreed to do. In casting about
for a subject I could find
none that I thought would be
more appro] iriate than the one
at the head of this article.
So if you will bear with me i
Will try to say a few things on
this most important subject.
Nothing is abused quite so
much as this most important
day of the week. God said to
Moses and his followers: "Re
member the Sabbath day to
thou do all thy work and the
seventh should be hallowed
unto the Lord.’’ Then it is
not our day but the Lord’s
Day. It should be set apart
and be kept holy unto Him.
The law of the Sabbath rests
primarily upon Bible sanction.
It is also supported by scien-
tific testimony,
We take this from “THE
VOICE”, a little magazine
published in Washington D. C.:
"Never before since the Foun-
dation of the American Gov-
ernment has the Christian
Sabbath been challenged as it
is challenged today. Never
before has the preservation
of the Christian Sabbath been
more necessary* and impera-
tive. The law of the Sabbath
is one of the ten fundamental
laws of the Bible. The church
must contend for a day of
rest for the worker; A day of
rest for the Christian. The
state must also protect the
says _ "Scientists estimate
that a man breathes from one ■
to two cubic inches less at
each breath when earnestly at
work than when perfectly at
rest. Estimating on the basis
of one and one half inches per
breath, for fifteen breaths
per minutp, there will be a
loss of 12,960 cubic inches in
eight hours of work, as com-
pared to the same length of
rest. Meantime the worker is
using more oxygen than he
breathes, and drawing the ex-
cess out of the bank of his
own body. Thus we see that
the debt to nature in a fair
days work is one ounce. He
sleeps and breathes more
oxygen than he uses, but gets
back only five-sixths of his
lost ounce. So he runs down
the week, a sixth of an ounce
weaker every morning, a
sixth of an ounce weaker every
night, until on the Sabbath
morning he is six sixths of an
Christian in his day of wor- ounce short, a whole day be
ship. One who is not disposed | hind, nature saying just as
to spend that day in a reverent loudly ‘you need rest’, on the
frame of mind should be de-
barred from, so conducting
himself as to destroy* the re-
ligious atmosphere of the day
and to prevent the proper fu|
fillment of the Christians ob-
ligations. While the church
has no right to impose the re-
ligious observance on any one
else, the right to profane the
day is equally non existant.”
This statement
church but coincides with the
statement that comes from the'
Sabbath morning as on Mon
day night; only as sleep is
just over it must be waking
rest, a rest of changed occu
pation and changed thoughts
with friends and loved ones in
fellowship and peace.”
Let me urge that we all
join in an effort to bring the
Sabbath back to its right
place Wont you find your
way to the services of the
church some where next Sun-
from the day.
Yours—a servant,
N. W. Oliver.

DOWN AGAIN
Political Announcements
The Carrollton Chronicle is au-
thorized to announce the following
candidates who seek nomination fbr
office on the Democratic Ticket,
subject to the action of the Demo-
cratic Primary which will be held in
Texas on July 23, 1938:
For Commissioner
District No. 1
FRANK M. SMITH
For Attorney General
State of Texas
GERALD C. MANN
Extra Mileage
Rubber experts estimate
tire users got $9.57 more value
in extra mileage for their
money in 1937 than in 1929,
Likewise the worker who made
the tire i6 receiving a 36 per
cent higher hourly wage rate
and the tire is assessed 70
cents more in taxes than in
1929.
You will notice that The
Chronicle Announcement Col-
um iscut very low at this time.
After the First Primary
there were a lot of elim-
inations, and then when the
race for District Clerk was
eliminated by the withdrawal
of Mr. Herbert Bishop it took
two more names from the list
in the column. At this time
the names of Gerald C. Mann
who aspires to the position of
Attorney General, and that of
Frank M. Smith, who is mak-
ing a really strong bid for the
position of Commissioner for
this Dist. No. 1. place, is all
that remains. There are not
very many contests on at this
time and the race for governor
having been settled it takes
away a heavy drawing at-
traction. The job now for the
candidates to do is to get out
the vote on Aug. 27. Of course
The Chronicle wants you to
remember its friends. There
are two of them in the An-
nouncement column of the
Chronicle now.
J. T. Rhoton returned last
week from his visit to Tennes-
see. Said he had tilled up on
Hickory cured ham and other
good eats. When they sug-
gested that he go to work he
started for home. Mr. Rhoton
thinks he has served a full ap-
prenticeship on those Tennes-
see hills.
Mr. and Mrs. Jake Gravley
moved into (.heir newly ac-
quired home las', Thursday and
are now gelling settled.
They Scatter News
Of Texas’ Greatness
When Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Martin de-
parted on their vacation trip last of last
week they carried a bunch of cards bear-
ing some advertising for Texas. Some of
the information may draw a smile, so we
will give it here that you may smile—if
you so desire. Many persons do not
know of the former magnitude of the
Texas Domain and therefore that is an-
other reason for its reproduction. Here
is the copy used on the cards:

Texas is Underlaid with Crude Oil, and Surfaced
with Smooth Politicians.
She has recently shown a penchant for Mountain
Music and Hill Billy Politics
Texas was so large when she shifted off of Mexico
that parts of the states of Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kan-
sas, Colorado, and Wyoming were sheared off before she
became manageable.
Texas is yet the largest State in the Union. From
the northern portion of the Panhandle to Galveston is
800 miles. From Texarkana to El Paso is a distance of
840 miles.
Airships were invented to enable folks to get about
and see Texas during a normal lifetime.
Sometimes flyers slip out of Texas, like Howard
Hughes of Houston, and his crew of four that flew
around the World, 14,824 miles in 3 days, 19 hours.
And then there was that fellow named Corrigan,
from Galveston, who flew up into a fog over New York
City, and his compass pointed to Dublin, Ireland, when
it should have pointed to Los Angeles, Calif.,-or
did he fly backward?-and he also made a record.
Texas has some of the best newspapers in the world.
A test: Send $1.50 for a year’s subscription to the Car-
rollton Chronicle—52 visits.
Mrs. L A Smith of Abilene,
Texas, and Mrs. W T Meedham
and daughter, Wanda, visited
here Friday with their sister,
Airs. Dell Smith and family.
The Chonicle is interested in Car-
rollton and her advancement. Is
there any other paper interested in
Carrollton and that pays taxes to
help support its schools? Does any
portion of . the money yon spend with
other newspapers or printing officei
find its way here to snpport the
town, the schools or the churches t
The Biggest and Best Bargain in
Carrollton is 62 visits of the Chroni-
cle for $1.
Have you examined the label on
your paper? It tells the time to
which your subscription Is paid. If
it reads 1-1-37; it means tha your
subscription is paid to Jan. 1, ID.',?-.
The first figure represents the
month, the second figures the date
in the month, and the final figures
the year. Watch the date on your
paper and make payment on your
subscription if you please.
Smith: “The Chronicle is oerteln-
ly some live paper, and an asset to
Carrollton.”
Jones: “Oh, Yeah! You’re tellin’
ME! Don’t I know it. And don’t I
pay my subscription regularly? A
newspaper has to have a paying bus-
iness to be a real help to a commun-
ity. What are yon DOING for it?"
^ The Newspaper, the Church, the
School, each have rheir place iu a
progtnseive community. No com.
tiriity prospers without then). Your
subscription does not mean much to
either but with many others it makes
the power which builds a communi-
ty. Your share in community up-
building is the support you give to
these institutions.
