SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.

DIR. Cowgill's sermon, delivered
at the M. L. church Sunday morn
ing was based on the words, Eye
shall keep my SabbathS and rever-
ence my sanctuary. THE Sab
bath is perfectly adapted to man S
needs, said the minister, land so
1t was given a place in the Chris
tian system. Man needs the Sab
bath for rest and worship, and
when properly observed the day is
a delight and benefit. The Phari-
sees made the Sabbath burden by
numerous irksome obseFvances,
many of which were quite absurd.
The Puritans, also, were exceeding
ly strict. We do not want either a
Jewish or Puritan Sabbath. We
want Sabbath that will conioin
rest for the body and mind; and
worship. The pressure of life is
~ uC0N oHos many 4ot hiCLo Odu
give but little time during the
week to worship, or bible study,
hence the great need of the Sabbath
and the Importance of preserving
it from encroachment.
1--WE must drop all worldly busi-
ness and pleasure. Sunday excur-
sions should be discontinued, and
no travelling undertaken unless it
| is unavoidable. Work as far as
possible should be banished. Sim
pie, easily prepared meals ought to
satisfy every member of the house
hold. The Sabbath should not be
made burdensome to children by
forced inactivity, Regular attend
ance at the services of God S house
by both old and young is impera-
lively necessary for the souls
welfare.

The Review says that Pope &

have been engaged in feeding sheep
near that city during the past win
ter, began shipping their 2,4OO
head of sheep to eastern points dur
ing the past week. This will be
the last lot fed there this season,
and preparations arealready being
made to commence the fall feeding.
which will necessitate extensive

the feeding pasture are tickeled to
haul away the manure for fertilizing
their farms.
The Advance says that shortly
before six O'Clock Tuesday evening
eggs took quite a tumble in Spring
fleld, but not in price, however.
The cold storage floor gave way
under the tremendous weight of
81 cases of eggs, and both then
fruit and floor dropped to the
ground, distance of about seven
feet. The building had been raised
several feet and at the time of the
accident crew of men and two
teams were at work scraping out
the dirt preparatory to putting in
a basement. One of the men had
evidently removed center piece
and the additional weight of the
eggs caused the center to drop.
The damage caused a loss to the
cold storage company OF about 5000,
while some of the employees were
covered with hen fruit. Eggs-act-
ly.
