HE HEBREW Sabbath. The Jewish
Times, In speaking of the practical dis
regard OF the seventh day of the week as
following:
The Jews will nota should not, ann1h
dare not give up their Sabbath, hallowGd
by q history 80 rich in untold saor;ficss
in behalf Of it; they must not think of
laying the axe, on the fundamental pillnr
of the Jewish religion, the jewish Sab
bath. and they do not do it iii theory.
Practically disregarding 1t, aud Offering

memory, they still look upon it rs the

must call them, invite them, and urge
them.to come to us on saoh days and at
such time that is convenient to them.
We consider this the most sacred duty,
