"SUNDAY vs. SATURDAY" AGAIN,

PAscAGouLA, Miss, Jan. 8, 1892.
Editor Dcmocrat-Star:
l was pleased with the article written
by Mi. NJ. A. Dces, in the DEMocRAT.SrAi
OF Jan. LIST, tO-wit '.Sunday VS.. Satur
day" Truly, the genuine Christion re-
lIgIon Is that of II stirring. moving nature.
and especially when applied to lndivid.
"ais. For the rapidly moving stream
runs oft all impurities, which come in con.
tact with it. while the torpid waters b.
come stagnant, aad all impurities coming
IN contact with them, gather more impu-
rites until they become very offensive.
Just SO with tho professed Christian,
VINO Is only one in name,) who sees no
hnrm IN joining hands with the world in
AL its pleasure seeking, and takes the So
cial glass, and soon he thirsts for more.
nni'l at last, he becomes an offensive enc.
pirate: and perhaps fills u drunkard's
grave, while the true, genuine Biblc
Christian is always seeking Gods Word
ior hidden treasures. until he loses sight
OF sell, and then is prepared to accept of
bibie truth. let others do and say as they
may; And thus the ripping stream runs
on all impurities coming in contact .th
it.
And again, Bro. Decs saws that | saw

ana ll3th verse. And later in our worlds
history, when the days of the week re-
celved their names, the first day wa,
called Sunday, and Jewish history. and
all historians of tho world are perfectly
agreed in regard to the number and
names OF the days, aud no dlscrepancy
appears to exist in regard to it until the
obligation TO keep Gods holy sanctiHel
Sabbath is presented, and then ali man.

Nay, verify and even Matthew and
