On Sunday morning Rev. P. A.
Heilman said to his congregation that
he hoped they would not attend the
meetings of the Seventh day adventists,
or give them any encouragement, as
he considered them a disturbing ele-
ment in the community, through their
efforts to break down the Christian
Sabbath, and their interference with
the meetings of the churches and the
Y. NJ. c. A.
We do not fully understand the
doctrines of this sect, but the founda-
tion stone of their structure seems to
be that Saturday is the proper day
for observance as the Lords Day,
instead of Sunday. If all the world
should be converted to this idea, and
the change should be universally OBJ
served whatgood would be accomplish
ed thereby? AS there is no possibility
of this, the adoption of this creed by
the laboring classes compels them to
refuse to work on Saturday, thus
losing a day for themselves and their
employers, and in the case OF those
who are employed in mills and shops
it would probably result in the loss of
their situations. The business of the
world will continue to go on for six
days in the week, and the Sunday
that has been observed as the Lords
day for nearly twenty centuries will not
be changed. In this way it is easy to
see what Mr.. Heilman meant by
designating the Seventh day adventists
as " disturbing element"

dump the scrapcr the collars are
clutched, and the winch turned In the
opposite direction from that required
to lift the front.
The object of dividing the load into
three parts is That by operating each
scraper separately the machine can
easily be managed with two horses
When the three parts are loaded the
machine Will hold as much as can or
dinarily be drawn on wagon with
