Decalogue furnishes no ground for OBJ

said that the clergyman who had charge
of publishing the proceedings wished to
exclude this essay rom the volume be-
cause, although the reasoning might be
sound, the public were not yet prepared
for the conclusion.
The six sermons on "The Sabbath
Question" by the late Rev. DIR. George
B. Bacon, Of Orange, n. j., now re-
printed by the Putnams, are bold and
readable discussion Of the problem in
its more recent aspects. lie argues from
Paul that Christianity superseded the
whole of the Jewish law, including the
Ten Commandments. 81 may use por-
tions of that law as valuable and
more or less perfect summary OF uni

divine enactment, he sets forth IN q
very winning way the Observance OF
the Lords day as privilege. His ser
mons are preceded by sermon and
two addresses by his brother, Rev. DR..
L. w. Bacon, of Norwich, CT. These
addresses present effectively the arSu-
ment for Sunday legislation, their main
proposition being this: "The libertyof
rest for one depends on law Of rest for
ALL" At the present stage OF the con-
troversy, a work written from this
standpoint must of necessity appear 30
largely destructive and negative as to
awaken alarm in many circles. But
the appearance is deceit(ul. 1t is only
the destructiveness of the soldier VINO
throws aside whatever would be in his
way in the battle. The traditional way
of fighting giants was doubtless with
sword and helmet, but David did wisely
in refusing to accept Saui's armor.

A CORRESPONDENT OF the Detroit Free
Press at the White Sulphur Springs tells
about a New York woman who wore pair
of $50 shoes and 800 stockings. The latter
were made of black silk; midway between
the ankle and the knee was a green tree
embroidered in silk, and resting upon the
branches of the tree were bright plumed
birds, some in the act of flying. On tn,
bulge" or largest part of the stocking was
a huntsman, clad in red shirt and trousers,
taking aim at the birds in the tree. Upon

and upger part of the stocking were eigh-
teen binds OF many varying kues. From
which description We should be inclined TO
consider that pair of stockings in them
