pcrting the whole seven day h.ch ''ave
gone before-Saturday HiShI. Yes,
Saturday night. with aiI its hops and its
cheer has come again. For the ages
past Saturday night has been an Institu-
ton. to many a time OF lov, OF peace, OF
We however in This article would dwell
and think only Of the happy, the conten-
ted ones Of Gods free botlnEeoHS earth.
The great majority OF Gods Creatures
have nude happy homes for them
selves, and We might say that 1t Is IN
the power of every man to carve out TOT
himselta a happy home, home OF con-
tentment. The wicked, the depraved,
the drum kard know nothing OF ali this.
Let Us hope for them: hope That some
time Saturday night will b" 30 them
what it is to happier ones. Tha: Slt.r-
day night will be to them Il TIME Of full
baskets, Of pleasant homes, of cheerful
wives, OF bri ght, happy children. Satir-
dav night has ever been III orr mind Il
time OF enjoyment, there is more of
cheer on that night than any other.
Father has brought home some little or
big extra is his means allow, something
for the Sabbath. The little boy perhaps
is made glad with pair of red-toppcd
boots. the little girl with something
equally as precious to her heart how
their eyes sparkle, how pleased is the
mother, what good father and husband
they have. He, TOO, is pleased at what
he has done. Saturday night Q them is
indeed Joyful time. To thousands il
is the same. Pleasant Thoughts cluster
around Saturday night. how many OF
them have we enjoyed, our tho lSllts run
back to boyhood's days. Saturday night
was time OF all times then, ,m"taer' : i'll
tluence and presence wa< !elt then,
every preparation was made f": the Sab
bath, everything ihat could possibly be
don" thar night was done. iha" nothing
might he il the way Of Gol's 'Iav. All
the little minor details of shoe-blackinS.
and washing OF each child wa' accom-
pliShrd. The very kiadli;'g WOOD was
placed under the 'hominy pot ready for
lighting next morning there were no
cooking stoves those days. In snort al
was done on Saturday night. OiT mother
WAS dear christian woman, who loved
the Lord and His Sabbath. Other
thoughts crowd the mind in relation to
Saturday night. but we have already
said enough for one time
