Every man labors to seek his h,applnes,,
and salvation In something or other anu
when he has found It at last by !ai!h IN
Christ. he rests Mt least from such !aborsi
NJ God did from His, and he has his Sab

does on Sunday or any other day, he does
Il from love TO God who gave His Son toI
ma that we should have love TO God and
man, or eternal life through Him, which
we had lost in Adam, or in the old man
and which the new man receives by taitl
and being born again son Of God BY
faith in Gods son, he is also like Him, al
least 10 some respect, Lord Of the Sabbath
But tho old man for whom the Sabbath
and other laws were made that he mlg9t
be tried whether he could get eternal ne s
through them, failed again. And Ia SlInouSn
he kept them strictly like the fharlsees,
he failed to get love to God ana man, OF
eternal life through them, which we can on

Testimony in thescriptures concerning His

ml6Iled in one word: "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself." St. John says, in his
frst Epistle: land thisis His command
meut: That We should believe on the
name OF His Son Jesus Christ, and love

ment." And in the Gospel according to
81. John We read that Jesus saith: "rhis
ia Ny commandment: "That ye love one
another, as have loved you" Now, We
all know that neither Jesus nor the Apos'
ties and first Christians made our present
severe Sunday laws, and 80 they must
have been made afterwards by those who
seek their salvation, at least partly, By the
keeping OF tho Sabbath on Sunday, and
BY the laws and things of the Old Testa-
ment. They must haye been made part
" by the old man who loves to sit in the
temple OF God, or among the believers,
showing himself that lie is God. For In
every church or society he loves to sit, or
stand, at least several degrees higher than
his neighbors, aud if he docs not claim to
be infallible everywhere, he wants to be

our neighbors, but il we do or say any
thing against him, he gets wrathy, and
has Killed his millions when and where
he had the power. He killed Abel and
Christ, and many Of the believers in
Christ, rs also many Of the prophets who
foretold Of the coming Of Christ. He is
also corrupt according to the deceitful
lusts, and the great mystery and misery
is, that he Is more or less within every
body, and even in the new man he never
dies altogether, and therefore the new
man must at all times fight the good fight
Of faith to overcome the old man, or the
old man oyercomes him. But then,
suppose, we ought to give the old man a
chance" for ST. Paul says in the Romans
"Who art thou that judgeth another
mans servant? To his own master he
standeth or falletl; yea, he shall be holden
up, for God is able TO make him stand
One man csteemeth one day above an

regardeth not the day, to tho Lord he
doth not regard it," A BELIEVER.
