sabbath Dav.

BI1IuIlOn COnSeCraIeQ Oy AlmlSnLy
God to the liberty of the soul, and
may be justly regarded as the life
of Christian civilization. 1t is a
day on which the heart and its
passions should rest that the mind
may soar on wings of contempla-
ton through the universe of moral
beauty and purest love.
One cannot fail to know-one
thoroughly imbued with love of
nature that the spirit of peace
hovers over mountain and valley
on the Holy day, and fills the souls
with ineffable delight. The sea is
subdued by some mysterious in
Auence, and the sky bears an ex-
preston Respondent with the glory
of higher skys above, The leaves
trembling in the air seem as if
touched by some gentle hand and
keep time to the thrilling music of
nature. To all things the Sabbath
day is the same sweet day of rest
the same sweet day of peace.
The Sabbath day was notintend-
ed to be asserious, gloomy one, in
which the soul should be clothed
in mourning and chained down to
painful silence. "God is love-" a
truth truly and touohingly exem-
plified in the life of Jesus Christ.
On His brow there are no terrors,
no destructive lightning bolts in
His hands. This earth created by
Him is fair to behold. On the Sab
bath day He asks only that we turn
from the world to Him and that we
come closer to His heart,
This beautiful Sabbath morning
the fresh sunshine wraps the noun
tains in His golden folds, and gems
flash their light among tho leaves
of the forest. A church bell is
calling votaries to the house of God,
and listening to the joyous peals,
the sad heart throbs as memory re-
calls the Sabbath bells of child
hood.
How beautiful the scene! how
quiet the hour! 1 hear sweet
song floating down from the church
on the still air, and songs come
back from the years, the poor, dead
years in the valley of the past. The
soul is free and bows down it's as
pirations before the Holy One.
The heart and it's passions are
asleep and the soul, the restless
soul has just fled to the foothills
of heaven, in the paradise of child
hood to gather dead flowers close
to the ruined cradle of it's dreams.
The world without the Sabbath
would be a world without God.
One day of thu week the sordid
nature of man is becalmed. One
day the many children of poverty
can hear the loving voice of God;
for one day of the seven the tumult
of avarice and folly is hushed, and
the fearful eye of tho oppressed
and the penitent can see the throne
of Omnipotence and hear the
songs of angels.
Remember tho Sabbath day, to
keep it hoIy.-Pat Kenny, in Web
ster Echo.
