Auto riding is perfectly proper on Sunday providing te does not interfere with church going.

Card playing lends to gambling and tends to form a time Douglass said, "Prohibition is not farce, no more than the ordinary trame law is a tarce. Because the law of Prohibition inclined to touch more personally the lives of the nation, there has been more diacussion about its enforcement. Bat the law la not a law against the personal liberty of the people. An alcoholle craving is an acquired cravIng and if a person- destres liquor it La because he has formed the habit of drinking it. It is not necessary like food.

Therefore, because liquor and Ita results caused evil and suttering in the world, the commodity was removed. That is the philosophy in back of the Prohibition law, Sunday Motoring 0. K.

CookIng la especially commendable because a good meal appeals to young people and while they are kept home with the family, they are said Rev.

Douglass in answering the question concerning riding on Sunday. The question regarding card playing was answered emphatically, by him. He said, "Card playing bad since it leads to gambling and it generally leads to wasting of time. The playing of carde itself is not essentially wrong but the results it Is apt to bring about are usually evil. Answering other questions, Rev.

Douglass said in that the answer question 1 which read "Why. that Idealists, socialists, biologists, peace luvera scientists, philosophers and but doctors life's have problems always asked, "Why?" are not permitted to. be answered fully, and we go down to death often still doubting. Saying that God does not lead us Into temptation according to the Lord's Prayer he said, "God leads as Into the vioinity of temptation and it is up to us to pray to be from yielding'. In the kept ease of dolps wrong that good might come of It.

he said, there is no excuse for doing wrong under any stance." Rev. Douglass also explained many Biblical questions which had indefinite meaning, Including verse from the 14th chapter of John which referred to higher and lower stations in Heaven, "In my Father's House are many mansions." Answering these and atmilar questiona last evening. Rev. Earl 1.

He went on to my, 'The circulation of these magazines is two billion and the copies are sold chiefly to young girls between the ages of 15 to 25 yarn. They appeal to impulse the very lowest of girls and exert a bad moral influence over them.

It In wrong the to expose pebilahers these girls to the evil thoughts expressed within the pages and who spread the propaganda that by their publications they are doing good, are merely people to evil and also to do good. They pretend to be sprea ding good by tending to keep a girl from evil publishing stories preall the time because of the evil results Incurred, when In they are Ailing the minds of young girls with evil thoughts." speaking of Prohlibtion, Rev. I Young People Read Too Many Sex Appeal Stories Says Pastor Asked by an Eagle News porter last evening whether he thought young people of Poughkeepsle are reading good literature, Rev. Earl L. Douglass, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, said "Undoubtedly, good books are read by many but unfortunately, statistics on the circulation of magazines such as "True Stories." prove the greater majority must be reading that type of literature."
