Two Sundays Coming Together.

When the English missionaries went to
Tahita, they passed round the Cape of
Good Hope, to the east and the Ameri-
can missionaries to Hawaii passed round
Cape Horn to the west. AS a necessary
consequence, there is between them the
difference of one day and one night, in
the reckoning of time. And hence for
thirty years there has existed, and still
exists, in the Pacific ocean, this singular
fact-two groups of Islands, lying in
nearly the same degree of longitude, and
no farther apart than New York and
London, and yet their inhabitants, who
are christianized, observe the Sabbath on
different days of the week. This singular
fact may be explained, even to the COM
prehension of children. The most of our
young readers are sufficiently acquainted
with astronomical geography to know that
the succession of day and night is caused
by the apparent revolution of the sun from
east to west, or the actual revolution of
the earth on its own axis, from west to
east. If, then, person should set out
and travel entirely around the world, in
the same direction with the earth's mo-
ton, he would gain one apparent revolu-
ton of the sun, or exactly one day and
night Or, if he should go in the oppo,
site direction, or with the sun, he would
lose one apparent revolution of the sun,
or one day and night. Therefore, if two
persons should travel around the earth,
in opposite directions, when they met al
the point they started from, they would
differ exactly two days in their reckoning
of time the one being one day ahead.
and the other one day behind the rekon,
ing of those who had remained stationary
in the place. Or, if they had met the
other side of the globe, and compared
notes, they would have differed one day
the one having gained, and the other ha,
wing lost, just half revolution ofthe earth
on its axis.
This consideration fully explains the
above remarkable fact, now existing in
the evangelical Islands of the Pacific
Ocean. If you should go west to the
Sandwich Islands, you find them keeping
the Sabbath on the same day with
yourselves. If, then, you should pass
almost directly south, to the Society
Islands, you will find that their Sabbath
had occurred the day before yours. Or,
if you go from here east, and stop first at
the Society Islands, you would find them
keeping Sabbath on the same day with
yourselves; then pass north to the Sand
witch Islands, their Sabbath would occur
the day after yours.
