The Sabbath.

The Sabbath was sacred day among
the Jews. In that they differed from all
the nations that were about them. But
they had added to the original command
TO keep it holy. Tradition had piled pre-
cept upon precept. prohibition upon prohi-
bition, until no less than thirty-nine kinds
or classes of work were held to be in
cuded in the original law. They had be-
come slaves of the letter while they dis
rega -ded the spirit of the command.
Jesus and His disciples were walking
through a field of ripening grain. Crhe
grain was probably barley) The disci-
pies were hungry and began to pluck the
ears and eat. This was permissible by
the Mosaic law. Deut.. 3:25) But the
traditions of the Jews made it unlawful.
The Talmud says: In case a woman
| rolls wheat TO remove the husks il is
| considered sitting; If she rubs the
heads of the wheat it is regarded &c
thrashing; If she cleans off the side adj
| herence il is sitting out fruit: If she
bruises the ears 1t is grinding; If she
| throws them up in her hand it is win
moving" CEdersheim)
Tie Pharisees were quick to see the de-
parture from the Jewish traditions. True,
| the Master was not eating. but as the
Master He must be held responsible for
the conduct Of His discioles. Behold"
they exclaimed, "thy disciples do that
which is not lawful to do on the Sab
BATH
1t is a singular fact that after nineteen
centuries of Christian teaching there is
still great diversity OF opinion concern
ing the nature and obligation OF the Sab
bath. The most that can be done in
such study as this is to state some of
the fundamental facts and principles
unon which its observance is based.
CnIuestionabIy the Sabbath is a divine
institution. 1t was ordained of God. In
the very beginning of the worlds history
IL was set apart as a sacred day. Gene
Sis 2:3) Its purpose was twofold-rest
and Worship Science teaches US that the
law of the Sabbath is written In the ma
| ture of every earthly thing. Man and
| beast need one day in seven for rest. In
| cessant work means an early death. Sci
| ence also tells us that the law extends to
metals. The steel rail that is used seven
| days In the week soon loses its resiiency,
while the rail that is permitted to rest one
day In the seven lasts almost indefinitely.

Worship.

Its other purpose is worship. 1t Is to be
day set apart as sacred; day for holy
thoughts, aspirations. service. 1t Is true
that all days should be holy and all du-
ties should be held as sacred: but it is
also true that without the Sabbath this
would be impossible. A hallowed Sabbath
sends its sacred leaven through the six
days that follow, and one day of holy
thought and worship will sanctify all
time and consecrate all duties to sacred
purposes. The Sabbath thus ordained
and thus observed is to be perpetual. II
is the type of the Sabbath that shall never
end.
But the Jewish Sabbath ended with the
Old Testament dispensation. And now
We come back to Christ and the Sabbath.

that the edifice Is an accomplished fact, 1t
is believed that the congregation will be
largely added to within short time. In
stead of a steeple the edifice has a dome.

Greek style of architecture which has

declared, makes the church one of the

Embittered Pharisees.

One would have thought that such an
exhibition Of divine tenderness and power
would have broken down the prejudices
of even a Pharisee. But men with fixed
opinions are not changed by evidence. A
noted infidel once said that he read the
Bible that he might find something in il
to which he could object. We have the
highest authority for saying that such
men would not change their opinions
though they were taught by one who rose
from the dead. duke, 1881 The law is
that spiritual darkness may be measured
by the intensity of the light that is re-
jected This explains 1t. Then the
Pharisees went out and held a council
against Him. how they might destroy
Him."
