The Sabbath Day.

The Bible lesson which is to be
studied throughout the world this week
is on Keeping the Sabbath" Golden
text-'Rememher the Sabbath Day to
Keep 1t Holy"-EX. XXX, S.
Memory verses" as follows: "Then
I contended with the mobiles OF Judah
and said unto them, What evil thing
Is this that we do, and profane the
Sabbath day? Did not your fathers
thus. and did not our God bring all
this evil upon us, and upon this city?
Yet We bring more wrath upon Israel
by Drofaning the Sabbath"-Neh. xiii
17-1S.
IF thou turn away thy foot from the
Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on
my holy day; and call the Sabbath a
delight, the holy of the Lord, honora-
BILE: and shalt honor him, not doing
thine own ways, nor finding thine own
pleasure. nor speaking thine own
words; then shalt thou delight thyself
in the Lord: and 1 will cause thee to
ride upon the high places of the earth,
and feed thee with the heritage of
Jacob. thy father: for the mouth of the
Lord hath spoken it."-Isa. lviii-13-14
Rev. A. r. Coke, d. D., says in con-
nection with this subject:
Iniquity presses on the church from
every side as the ocean presses in on
the dlkes which defend Holland. Let
the least spot give way and soon the
flood gates are open, and the mighty
restless ocean is pouring through.
I'VE fight evils best by fighting be.
ginnings. Established evils are hard
to fight. 1t is as difficult as to cut off
the nine heads of the Lernen Hydra, In
which case two heads sprung up when
one was cut off.
1.-THE Sabbath brings in the best in
fiuence for character building, while to
break that sacred law ruins character
and corrupts a nation.
"Of one hundred men admitted to the
Massachusetts States prisons, eighty
nine had lived in habitual violation of
the Sabbath.
Hurlbut thus sums up the crime of
Sabbath breaking: 1, Against God.
who commanded It to he kept: Q.
Against society. which becomes demor-
allied and iniquitous without its ele-
waiting influence; 8. Against the body,
which needs 1t for rest; 4, Against the
soul. which needs ii for religious adj
yancement."
Among the many things for which we
have to be thankful to-day Is that we
are here in a land where the Christian
Sabbath is honored and respected, and
let us use our best endeavors to pre-
vent It's dissertation either by business
or what on other days might be limo.

suburban property and that which is located
nearer the city are equally acceptable.
At the same time the call for houses 30
rent is equally brisk. There are a few empty
houses of the sort that rent for from $25
to $50 a month. but 1t is almost impossible
at this time to secure a cottage or small
residence at more moderate rentals. Sub
urban rents are generally higher, but even
then a desirable house is no sooner vacant
than the agent is b~esieged by a dozen APP
plicants. Desirable cottages are almost out
of the market. They cannot be had. Hun
dreds of people who wanted to move this
spring have been compelled to give it up
because they could not find places that sat
