While IL undoubtedly thuts out many idle and

day. Viewed from q religious standpoint such au

Sunday Is TO prevent the dissertation Of the day.
but Il 10 possible to push this matter too far. Our
hrst day differs very materially from the Jewish
seventh day. The latter was sanctided by n total
cessation Of all labor. The former, the Lords day.
Is sanctifcd by the worship and work of tho Lord.
The Sabbath war the Jews rest day, the first day
is the Christians work day, the day set apart for
the church 10 preach the gospel 60 sinners and she
should be very careful lest she rcpel rather than
attract them with the influences Of divine truth.
Our farmers have been busy all last week plow-
ing for their fall crops but the ground has now
become so dry and hard that many have suspend
cd operations for the present. The indications oi
m early fall are very manifest. Much Of the
fruit Is ripening. Bartlett pears have got their
growth aud are ready 20 be pulled and the grapes
are coloring very fast. The few apples We have
are dropping from the trees and our prospects for
even enough for home use next winter are by no
means encouraging. Our corn is making very
slowly, especially our early table varieties. A
patch that should have been ht TO cut two or three
weeks ago Is just now yielding few ears and our
later plantings are very far behind hand.
