Right Obedience.

1t will have no reservations. Its
submission is absolute. All the COM
mandments will be the same as any
commandment. There will be no at
tempt to strike balances by great
devotion to Gods will in one direction
as an apology and justification for
utter neglect of His will in another di-
rection. Generosity in the home and
seltishness in the pew; spirit of
worship in the sanctuary and back
biting spirit not rod away from the
sanctuary-these are forced marriages
in any life, manufactured conjunctions
and conditions. A true obedience is
obedience all round. II may fail of
doing Gods will at. many points, but
at no point of all Gods will, will it fail
to try. This is one infallible sign of
true obedience.
Another is that it will never cry
''Halt" never ask for rest, but will
evidence itself in a steady and beauti-
full constancy. 1t has no vacation. 1t
is ship that never anchors, an institu-
ton that never suspends. When obedi-
ence pushes to the front with great
zeal for God in times of revival, but
fails to get itself in the eye of God or
man during the steady, plodding days
of the church; or when obedience car
ries itself becomingly at home, but
losses all possibility of recognition
abroad; or when obediences manages
itself fairly well on Sabbath, but gets
sadly out of gear down thl ough the
week, we may be sure it is too inter-
mittent for any very favorable Heaven
ly recognition.-ReU. Herrick johnson.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE.

Something More Than . Rest-Day-How
Sunday should he sanctified, and Moral
and Religious Character Strengthened.
Our Nation has been pre-cminently
Sabbath-keeping Nation. If we have
lost much of the Puritanic spirit in re-
ligion, we have not given up the idea
that the Sabbath was made for man,
and that its observance is not only
good for the individual, but highly
beneficial to society and, consequently,
to the Nation. Nothing is better
settled than that . periodical rest-day
is physical necessity. The French
Revolutionists, who sought to destroy
utterly all Christian institutions, be-
lieved they would accomplish much in
this direction by obliterating the Sab
bath. They were too wise, however,
not to see that some substitute must
be provided, SO they ordained that
every tenth day should be a rest-day.
This was an acknowledgement that
the Sabbath was founded on a principle
which long experience had proved to
be sound principle. There is no
question on this point among the
American people. The number of
those who would abolish the Sabbath
as rest-day is very small indeed. The
Sabbath is really national institution
in this respect. all our governing
authorities, National, State and muni-
cipal, and all our courts of record re-
framing from transacting business on
that day.
But to individuals the Sabbath should
be something more than rest-day.
The law requires the cessation of la
Dor, not only that physical benefits
may result, but in order that individ-
uals may worship God undisturbed by
the noise and distractions of industry
and commerce. Our churches open
wide their doors, and the throngs en-
ter and pay their allegiance to the
King of Kings. 1t is in such occupa-
tions that the individual sanctifies the
day, strengthens his own moral and
religious character, and fits himself
for the highest duties of citizenship.
The Sabbath is, therefore, day Of
moral education and recuperation, and
it will be sad day for our Nation when,
if ever, it ceases to be, in this sense, a
Sabbath-keeping nation.
We ask no laws from Congress OF
State Legislatures to command relig.
ious devotion. We ask nothing more
than compulsory cessation of business,
and restraint of immortality from the
State. The Church will do the rest.
The Church will sanctify the day. The
Church will provide such instruction as
men need to make them moral and re-
ligious beings; and men so educated
are the best. the stanchest and the
most intelligent citizens, and such citi-
zens are the only source and safeguard
of national prosperity.
Let us, then, maintain the Sabbath;
not simply by enforcing the laws which
compel cessation of labor, but by using
the day for physical rest and for the
cultivation of our moral and spiritua
natures. Thus shall we truly observe
and hallow it. Thus shall we honol
our citizenship in this great Republic
and strengthen the Nations hands fol
the work that is before it.-N Y. Indc

A SPLENDID TIME.

with acorn cups and saucers,
And lovely Oak.leaf plates,
A paper for q tableclOth.
And bits of stone for weights
Because the wind in frOlic
Might blow II all away
We children had u company
In Cedar Woods to-day.
We had loaf of gingerbread
From grandlna's best receipt,
The very incest kind of cake
For hungry boys to eat.
We had Aunt Sarah's cookies.
And biscuits made with yeast
And sandwiches. of course, beside,
A really royal feast.
We'd asked our Cousin Lucy,
Aud DIR. Perkin's Fred,
And pretty Lottie SandersOn,
And merry Jack and Ned.
But, sitting by her window,
AS dull as dull could be,
We saw, as to the woods we went,
That fretful May McGee.
+" Poor little lonesome cripple,
No wonder she is cross:
We all of us might be the same,"
So pleaded darling Floss:
And as we looked and listened,
We thought about a way
To make sort OF litter,
And carry little May.
You should have seen her wonder.
You should have heard her laugh;
We had splendid time with May,
A better time by half
Than If we'd left her pining
Ap risoner by herself.
As lonely as n single cup
Upon the Kitchen shelf.
And since we've thought about It
We mean to have a care.
And always IN our pleasant things
Let some forlorn one share;
And thus, our mother tells us,
Well keep the Golden Rule,
And send the happy times along,
At home, at play, in school.
