February 2I-UsluE the Sabbath Mark l.
2I.34.

The Jews were too strict as to
Sabbath observance. God gave it to
them for a delight, but they hedged
1t about with so many foolish and
annoying rules that it became repul'
sive.
The early Christians made tho
Lords Day one of holy gladness. Then
came religious decline when rejoc
ing became goddess fun. Then the
grand old Puritans. repealed by the
frivolity and wickedness of the time,
swung to the other extreme and kept
the Sabbath gloomily. Now we are
in danger of swinging back to frivol.
ity, irreligion, and Christless sport.
II we had to choose between Puritan
over-precision and Continental laxity
which makes the Sabbath the very
worldliest of days. what Christian
would hesitate to take the former,
dedicated to thought and reverence,
the bulwark of our country's purity
and religion?
But there Is a better way than
either. How shall we put into the
Sabbath the brightness. the joy. the
blessing, which shall make our chill
dren and our children's children love
it as "the golden clasp that binds
the volume of the week"
The first condition for a proper use
of the Sabbath is to live so near to
Christ every day of the week, to be
so deeply consecrated to him, that
your unwavering purpose Is to please
him in this as in all things. This
purpose will help keep the conscience
tender on the subject, will do much
toward keering the vision clear, and
will go far toward begettlng a happy
spontaneity in sabbath observance.
With this sincere purpose to please
Christ, | shall rest my body as far as
compatible with higher interests.
That customary toll should cease is
automatic AS certainly as God has
written upon this physical frame,
"Bl eathe. eat. drink. or die" so sure
ly has he inscribed here. Take reg
ular Sabbath rest. or break down and
go to the grave before your time
Really devoted to Christ. shall
while avoiding needless. ordinary toll
be free to perform works OF real
mercy or necessity. Christ did not
make his Sabbath day for loafng or
torpor. All works of beneficent love.

anguish, and carries out the divine
purpose of grace, for body and soul,

ease. reformation Of guilt" are sane
titled by the example and words OF
Jesus. But II sincerely consecrated

"needful" elastic enough TO cover any

suggests. shall find a better way

of the carnivorous appetite of a num-
ber of hogs in a stock car. The hogs
occupied the forward half of the car.
and the other portion contained twenty
eight sheep. the car being divided by
a supposedly substantial partition. The
ordinary amount of feed was given to
the hogs. but II failed to satisfy, and
they broke through the partition. by

Gracious Words.

We cannot tell how sweet must be
The heavenly speech they use above;
What cadences deep az the sea.
What holiest phrase or tone Of love.
Yet human speech has many a word
More sweet than angel.lips can sound;
Forgiveness grace in Christ the Lord,
Mercy, with loving kindness crowned.
They breathe upon our hearts like songs
That swell around, below, above;
Immortal words on mortal tongues.
The words that tell Gods wondrous love.
We cannot want for words to men.
While still we strike the mercy chord;
God grant us power to speak again
The words of life in Christ the Lord.
