ToPto.-Honoring the Lords day.-Ex. Xxx,
Eli; Rev. l. 10.
One of the most vital questions Of
Christianity today Is that of "honoTing
the Lord day. Ii Is being dishonored
more and more. The enemies Of Chris
tianity disregard and denounce it, and
what is worse, the professed friends Of
Christ are negiecting TO keep il holy
and sacred to God, and many even claim
that it was only a commandment te the
Jews and ahrogated by Christ with the
symbols and ceremonies Of Judaism.
Such a claim Is preposterous. Man :
body, mind and soul need the Sabbath
day as much as ever they did. The
Sabbath was an eternal institution and
no distinctive part Of Judaism alone,
being instituted centuries before AaTa-
ham or Noses was born That Christ
did not do away with the Sabbath Is
proved by the fact that H kaptit Him
self. At Nazareth IN the sabbath day
He went L. the synagogue las His Gus
tom was That man would be prone
to forget this day God realized for He
began the commandment, Remember
the Sabbath day We are commanded
to remember what we are likely 10 for
get.
That w should honor the Sabbath
day scarcely needs proof 4 We should
do so in imitation Of God. God rested
on the Sabbath day and halloYed it
We should therefore. in imitation css
God, rest IN and hallew the Sabbath
day. (24 We should hon0r the Sabb3th
because God commands US to DO SO, He
Himself has commanded Us to Re
member the Sabbath day to keep it
h.,y " To refuse to Do SO IS to break
solemn command Of Cd, ~ We should
honor the Sabbath, as God requires, foE
our own sakes. We need the rest ard
the opportunity for worship of GOD I'D
communion with God. a. We lose
nothing by giving this day 10 God. Six
days of mama in the wilderness, pro-
vided for seven days necessity. In the
providence Of God six days labor will
provide for seven days existence. and
thus He has made it posi- BE to keep
this day without loss or injury to our
temporal well being in any way.
God Himself has told US how TO hon
or this day. 1t is to be hallowed, 10 be
Kept holy and sanctifed. We are TO rest
from physical labors, but rest Is not the
end, but only the means to the end.
Rest is necessary that the day may be
saDctifed. Thousands Of laborers are in
capacitated from making this hallowed
day because they are net allowed to
rest from their labors. John was in the
Spirit On the Lords day. Rev. j. 10.
Let Us be in the Spirit en- that day, and
we viii keep it holy and sacred, and
will, like John. receive visions Of God
and Of heaven.

As a matter of fact, neither the wild
woman nor the new woman Of the comic
papers has yet come to the front in
New Zealand, and il is doubtful if either
species exists in the colony. OF course,
if the term new woman is fairly appli-
cable to women of character and cul-
turc, merely because they desire to
effect reform called for on the broad
principle of social justice, then it may
be applied to a good many women in
New Zealand Judged by theiI repre-
sentatives in the national council. the
women of New Zealand stand by the
principle that, morally. constitutionally
and economically, they are as much
citizens as men. They, therefore, wish
to share, equally with men, all the
rights Of citizenship and to see the
moral code which is applied to them as
individuals and citizens applied with
equal emphasis TO men. Whether this
creed is capable Of being carried out in
practice, whether men are or ever viii
