Lesson Thoughts.
The Sabbath Is pre-. .eminently a day
OF rest-rest from sin. and a rest in
God. How can we make 1t so? Ger
tainly by public worship and by pri.
vate meditation and prayer.
Any work that is unselfshly good
is proper for the Sabbath; all that Is
mere sef-seeking Is improper.
Whatever work may be necessary
Tor our bodily comfort or safety, even
though In the work itself there be
nothing sacred, we may feel perfectly
sude that God will not regard as q
PROCLAMATION OF His holy day.

Help thou my wandering heart
The Old Testament laws OF tho
Sabbath were negative, and told what
men should not do; Christ tells what
men should do, and IL We fulfill these
precepts, we shall have no time to do
what We should not do.
The Sabbath is a door with double
purpose-to shut up behind us the
worries of the past, and to lead us out
into a new garden of delights and
privileges.
Christs example teaches us that we
are to fill the Sabbath as full as any
other day. Simply refraining from
this and that is not keeping the Sab.
bath. Idleness is not holiness. The
Sabbath is to give us a chance to do
what he likes to do-to carry out our
character. The use we make Of 1t
shows whether our character Is Christ.

Frederick Saunders calls the Sab
bath the savings-ba of humanity.
If we lay away in it all through our
youth and prime, week by week. and
year by year. we shall not be bank

Prayer.-We do thank Thee. Oh, our
Father, for the holy Sabbath day,
when. without the interruption and
anxieties of worldly pursuits, we may
pay our devotions unto Thee. and me.
ditate upon the holy Word, and do
good unto our fellow men. Help us
to enjoy a true Sabbath rest, not OF
idleness, but of holy service, in
Jesus naTe. Amen.

A lack of judicious and attractive ad.
vertising and news matter is attributed
as the cause of the comparatively small
attendance at the St. Louis worlds fair,
says an exchange. tits admitted that
the excellence and completeness of many
OF the exhibits and in general interest,
is the greatest worlds fair ever held
in this or any other country. The
United States is more populous and
more prosperous than ever before, and
there is no reason why the st. Louis
fair should not be better attended than
any previous exposition, but, from all
reports, it isn't and will not be unless
its management "humps itself" during
the few remaining months of the fair.
All Of which merely goes to show that in
this day and age success in any enterprise
is only attained through Advertising
and that of the right kind.

The Supreme Court Decides That the
State Law is Void-Reverses
Lower Court.

A special from Olympia under date of
August "a says:
The supreme court in a far reaching
decision declares the law under which
municipalities have levied and collected
poll tax ever since the admission of the
state of Washington to be unconstitu-
tional
The decision, while not directly deal
ing with the question, it is said will also
set aside the county poll tax law. Prom
inence is also given to the decision by
the fact that the issue was brought be-
fore the supreme court in an appeal
from a judgment of the police court of
Port Townsend, filming Clarence w. Ide,
collector of customs. 50 and costs for
failure to pay the poll tax levied by city
ordinance. The Judgment against Ide
was sustained by the superior court of
Jefferson county, but is now reversed
and the action ordered dismissed bv the
supreme court.
In brief, the fatal defect in the act
authorizing cities to impose poll tax is
found in the lack of uniformity with
which the tax is imposed.
