SABBATH OBSERVANCE,
DIR. Shetland Speaks for the Day
of Rest.

of Rest.
Last Sunday morning DR.. Shell
land preached on 'The Lords Day"
lie said the Sabbath, day of divine
rest; Sunday, day of warmth and
light, Lords Day,day of resurrection,
soul power, Of spiritual refreshing; is
our privilege. "The Sabbath was
for man"
Whether we keep it is no profit or
loss to God, if we do not keep it the
loss is ours. For six days all our
energies are needed, avarice Expresses
the hireling, greed pushes labor to
exhaustion. Then God says stop,
close the ledger, lay by the hammer,
let the miner come up to sunshine,
rest your body, refresh your soul"
If thou turn away thy foot from the
Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on
my holy day, and shall honor it not
doing thine own ways nor finding
thine own pleasures; then will I
cause thee to ride upon the high
places of the earth and feed thee
with the prosperity of thy fathers.
The month of the Lord hath spoken
it.
Our Privilege is in danger.
The poor are set to work seven
days but get only the wages Of SIX.
The baker. the bartender, the actor,
the scene shifter are robbed of right
full rest to crafty a thoughtless
crowd, If sa4oon makes pretence
of closing, but keeps the back door
open, gets the money needed by
home, a wife, family, this is robbery
of the prosperity Of society. PRO
hibition don't prohibit" The ten
prohibitory laws called command
ments given en- Mount Sinai have
not been repealed. The city govern
ment which ignores them are but
trying a law suit, "The city council
verses the council of God" and the
final. judgment is in His favor.
Secular amusements On Sunday rob
the people of spiritual refreshing.
The Partisan Sunday tires the
Frenchman till be is shorter, smaller
chested. amounts to less politically
than in former years. Remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
To Keep Sunday do as John Did.
Be sin the the spirit on the Lords
Day" Keep off from other peoples
rights. Do not take your wife and
ten children to visit sick neighbor.
The sick woman ought to turn you
homeward before you can unload the
imposition Don't go fishing on
Sunday. "Agassiz" wrote the editor
"commends fish as brain food.
This yonng author should eat few
whales" The business mans custom
ers do not think he needs fish. His
brain seems strong in places to get
the best of the bargains, and make
big profits. The customer fears the
business man has not fed enough on
moral strength, on integrity, on
honesty and mercy. Some customers
think the business man might take
whole religions reformation and
pot Cver-do. Some business con-
sciences have been starved so long
that they are not bigger than a
squirrel and if neglected much longer
will be dead. But T. want some
thing new" A lawyer came to SAKE
saying give me something new to
read" SAKE replied Take this copy
of Blackstone. It will be new to
you" My dear reader it dctions,
runner on Sunday excursions,
the Sunday school lesson will be new
to you.
On Sunday morning take an extra
nap. There is no store to open, no
ledger to post, no work to do. Visit
with your children, don't put them
in chair jammed against the wall,
and say be still it is Sunday. Join
them in song service, tell them the
Glad Tidings, fill the day with sweet
ness and light. It is your parlor
day, there you have music, pleasant
things, visit your Elder Brother,
you should not want to go round
under tae window, and say "why
can't throw this load of gravel of
