The New Testament Sabbath.

Three things are found implied in the
Sabbath of the Jews it was a day Of
rest from toll it was day of special wor-
ship it was day kept in commemoration
of the work of Creation. The New Testa-
ment Sabbath, instead of celebrating the
creation, is observed in commemoration Of
the greater work Of redemption it cele-
brates the resurrection of Christ-that
greater event, in view of its stupendous sig
niicance, than even the primal event Of
Creation. Or, perhaps if may be regarded
as inclusive of both, as celebrating both the
creation of the primal world, and also the
recreation, that is, the redemption Of a sin
full and lost world. With this exception,
the Fundamental ideas of the Christian Sab.
bath are identical with those of the Jewish.
The Sabbath, then, is sacred as commemor-
ating the resurrection of our Lord, the one
great event on which depend all our hopes
of eternal life. 1t is also sacred as day of
special religious exercises. Thus the apos-
ties and the early church observed it. 1t is,
furthermore, sacred as day Of rest from
toll. At the most, no more work should be
done on this day than good conscience can
approve as coming strictly within the limits
of necessity or of mercy. AS to popular
forms of recreation or amusement, we infer
that nothing can be right, however proper in
itself, which unduly wearies body or mind,
tends to deprive another, man or beast, of
his needed rest, or interferes in any way
with the proper duties of the day. Remem-
bering what the day celebrates-the resur-
rection; remembering the obligations OF
worship remembering also the natural
object of the day-rest, we should be care
full to do nothing which shall not be in
keeping with these facts. If we err at all,
it is far better to err on the side of serious
caution, than of careless license.-Morning

Becoming a Christian.

Next to the joy felt among the gels in
heaven over sinner that repentethis per
haps that which thrills the heart of Chris
tian parent when one of his children turns
from sin and begins pious life. An affect
ing instance of this was revealed at one Of
our recent camp-meetings. A young man
the son of one of our deceased bishops, was
preaching an effective sermon from the
stand on the theme of repentance. In the
course OF his remarks he said that when, al
the camp-meeting, he had made up his mind
to give his heart and his life to the Saviour
he drew from his pocket slip of paper, and
on it wrote as follows Dear Father,
have decided to become Christian" This
he signed, and forwarded to his father
at some distant point where he then was
Gotten before his death" said he, A." did my
father speak of the great joy which that sliI
of paper gave him and only little while
previous to his departure from earth / saw
in his wallet that same slip, which, for some
years, he had carried about his person. y
Truly, the pious parent can desire nothing
for his children so much as this, and tn,
thought OF the joy it will give him may wei
be an inducement TO the child to make tn,
great decision that he, too, will become
Christian.-Seiected.

The Sweetest Joys.

Very many OF the sweetest Joys of Chris
tian hearts are songs which have been
learned in the bitterness Of trial. 1t is said
of little bird that he will never learn TO
sing the song his master will have him sing
while it is light in his cage. lie learns
snatch of every song he hears, but will not
learn full, separate melody of his own.
And the master covers the cage and makes
it dark all about the bird, and then he lis,
tens and learns the one song that is taught
TO him, until his heart is full of it, Then,
ever after, he sings that song in the light.
With many of us it is as with the bird
The Master has a song he wants to teach
us, but we learn only strain of it, a note
here and there, while we catch up snatches
OF the worlds songs and sing them with it.
Then he comes and makes it dark about us
till we learn the sweet melody he would
teach u.s. Many of the loveliest songs of
peace and trust sung by Gods children in
this world, they have been taught in the
darkened chambers of sorrow,-Seiected

Fanaticlsm.

man to be proud of any way. But do get
tired of fanaticism." could scarce repress
smile, for in the respectable, first-class
hotel, where for many months l have tried
to feel at home, this same talk came under
the head Of fanaticism, and was equally
banned. Mine host would say, " Let the
youngster work where he will get the most
money somebody will make the beer any
way, and he doesn't have TO do as the others
do, unless he wants to. If there is any
thing / do hate its fanatics" Now the
question arises, What is fanaticism, and
who are fanatics Some one being asked
to define orthodoxy and heterodoxy, replied
Orthodoxy is what believe. Heterodoxy
is some other fellows doxy." Is it not
equally true of fanaticism ? Would not

after all it is only some other fellows ism
Years ago, Neal Dow was regarded as a
fanatic. What did this show2 Only that
he had been the first to see down into the
heart of the whole matter, and that he had
the courage to declare what he saw. There
never was great reformer whom some one
did not call fanatic. There never was a
pure, unselfish doctrine promulgated that
has not been called fanaticism. Let him
who has at any time espoused one of these
badly-named causes assert, if he dare, thai
"a rose by any other name would smell a:
sweet" The unthinking multitude FLEE
from the suspicion of fanatcism as from {
pestilence; the bigoted and the ignorant
prosecute those who would serve them if al
lowed, and the poor, sensitive reformer il
goaded almost to desperation. If there i:
one weapon more powerful than another in
the hands of the wicked or the non.progres
sive, it is this word, which strikes so harshly
on the appropriateness of the community

tain thing; not to-day, crowd of crazy en-

then it should be carefully used, and as al
epithet, need not be greatly feared, for il
nineteen cases out of twenty, where you ar,
accused of fanaticism, the accusation will
only amount TO the statement that you ar,
fully devoted to some cause which is no
some one else's cause.-Biter Street.

The Best Defence.

There are two ways of defending a castle,
one by shutting yourself up in it, and
guarding every loophole, the other by making
It an open center of operations from which
all the surrounding country may be subdued.
Is not the last the truest safety2 Jesus was
never guarding himself, but always invad-
ing the lives of others with his holiness.
There was never was such an open life as
his and yet the force with which his char
acter and love flowed out upon the world
kept back, more than any granite wall could
have done, the world from pressing in upon
him. His life was like an open stream that
keeps the sea from flowing up into it by the
eager force with which it flows down into
sea. lie was so anxious that the world
should be saved that therein was his saliva
ton from the world. He labored so TO
make the world pure that he never had to
even try to bepure himself.-Phaiips Brooks.

How TO Get New Boots.

This question was answered satisfactorily
by man at an experience meeting, held at
a coifee-room, when several capital speeches
were made. A huge Hibernian, who had on
a pair of new boots, was, however, acknowl-
edged to be the chief speaker. In the course
of his remarks, which were given in true
Irish brogue, he said "'Thems fine pair

of good, one of life's real enjoyments. But
how often the place of such person in So

Half the unpleasant social excitements,

disturbs domestic relations, unhinges sooi,

But away from the toll and strife
They have met In the world Of life,
And they walk by the tranquil river
Together forever and ever.

Back 10 the stirring past,

And knew that for veal or woe

For he stayed not for love OF beauty,
Loyal alone TO his duty.
What days did she live through then
On the lips Of thousand men
Was the name that was dearest to herr
And amid the rush and the stir
How proudly her heart would beat
As she heard in the crowded street
OF Havelocks saints and their deeds,
And knew for his country's needs
lie stood mid the shot and the rattle
OF the terrible field Of battle.
Did her cheek flush red as she heard
How the heart Of the Queen was stlrred2
Did she lift her head the higher

Did she know how the mothers blessed him
And the little ones caressed him?
