Nv son coming out OF the congress

,sbsb he said he was going 10 haa
70 r.st his mind his idea OF rest BENG
mat ii meant change.
When We come 90 the house OF the
Lord and sing praises 10 his name
thsre is a refreshing compensation re-
cs,sed from the holy spirit. rms
rakes A moro complete rest than just
wsrB frttering away the Sunday do
Ing nothing
A TWOFOLD DUTY.
m speaker then explained that
mn composed Of spirit and body,
al many people are not careful
e.'ssh In looking after their bodies.
Hog many more are careless regard
nr the spirit They DO not give IL
NJ proper nourishment by meeting IN
M house OF the Lord and allowing II
h BE- FED by the holy spirit. Il then
tss As does the body when food Is
withheld. The first indication Of
Starvation is a desire for food. Later
Is found that a period may come
when food is not desired.
m fasting the physical being Is held
down and the spiritual nature OF man
rises 10 the ascendancy. The Latter
isv Saints DO not believe Ia going 10
extremes IN this or anything else by
fasting too often and weakening the
body. and thus giving evil spirits an
opportunity To step In owing TO the
weakened conditions. Il was never in
ended TO carry this To extreme. An
seasonal fast Inspires relish for food
%, carried to excess the system is dis
ranged and the desire for food grows
es The same h true spiritually
CD desires his children to receive food
ii the body and the spirit regularly.
lnse who follow Gods commands
This respect viii enjoy more rest
nd feel better able to do what Is
nqured OF them than II they fritter
nelr Sundays away doing nothing.
God knew what was best when he
commanded man Co rest on the
arenth DAY and come unto the house
O he Lord that ne might be fed with
ne bread OF life. This command was
gwen 10 man AZ a blessing and not TO
MAKE a troublesome und irksOme duty
lof him TO perform.
