QUEENS BIRTHDAY
Celebrated by Unusual Display of
Patriotism.

London, May 25.-Under the stimulus
of the relief of Mafeking and Lord Rob
erts rapid and successful progress, the
queens birthday was celebrated
throughout the empire with unique and
almost unprecedented rejOicings. The
two-fold nature of the celebrations gave
the occasion unusual brilliancy. The
recent demonstrations only Whetted the
public appetite for displays of patriotic
feelings. In London and in the provin-
cial towns there was a tri-color erup-
ton. Every private house was deco
rated with miniature union jacks and
a picturesque carnival procession mile
long of cars emblematic of the war
paraded the suburbs Of London. Torch
light professions and reviews in the
garrison towns, etc, were witnessed
throughout the country. The school
children had a holiday, and at most
places there was a partial suspension
of business.
The West End of London was bril-
liantly Illuminated and thousands
crowded the streets wearing patriotic
faVOTS.

THE SABBATH.

The Divine Creator manifested his
goodness to mankind by setting apart
q day for rest and worship; and it is
the bssest ingratitude on the part of
man or woman to desecrate this holy
day and thus disregard this law Of
the Creator. The Sabbath is holy
day. On it all secular business
should be laid aside and the soul
shout feast upon instruction in things
pertaining to God and to Heaven; in
meditating upon Gods goodness to
MS and In increasing our knowledge
Of things eternal.
When we contemplate our Creators
unbounded goodness and benedic
lions it seems almost miraculous that
our better nature is not more fully
developed, and that We do not have q
higher regard and more reverence for
His laws. But the fact is patent to
every careful observer that the
proper observance of the Sabbath is
in danger. In fact, there.are people
who make no moral distinctions be-
tween this holy day and the rest OF
the week. By many the Sabbath is
enjoyed as 8 day Of pleasure, amuse-
ment and sport; for excursions, in
toxicstion, horse driving. card play
ing and other diversions OF worldly
nature. This is stigma upon the
American nation. Some Christian
people seem slow to realize the sig
nificsnee of such sscrilegious prac
tieer; and unless they manifest more
interest in seeing that the laws OF
God are not violated with impunlty
there is DO way to estimate the de-
moralizing effect it will finally have
upon Christianity and the Church
