An Object Lesson.

Editor Kennebec Journal.
In this time of demand for conlpul
sorry Sunday observance, an object les
son may be found in the fact that there
are i'll this country more than one
hundred thousand Christians who OBJ
serve the seventh day Sabbath. ano
their Number is constantly increasing
They are scattered throughout every
state in the union ana live IN the cit
les. in the towns, and in the country
districts. The day which they observe
as the Sabbath has become the busiest
day of the week in the commercial
world. and they are surrounded by
those who are pursuing their ordinary
work on that day. When they GO to
their places of worship their e\ eS nee
essarily behold what they regard as d
desecration Of a holy day. and thelt
ears are salated with the hum of secu-
lar industry. They would be glad 10
have all observe the Sabbath accord
ing to the commandment, and thus
honor the Creator. but they never have
asked. and never will ask. for legisla
tive enactmentS which would compel
those To pay an outward regard t.
this day. They must be fully con-
WINGED by their ewn conscienCes that
they ought to keep it holy. They SIM
ply ask to be left free to observe the
day of their choice without being
fined either directly or indirectly
without being compelled to pay 4 fine
in money into the state treasury or to
pay a fine in the ,way of loss OF time
by enforced idleness upon d day which
the Scriptures designate as working
day,-and they freely conCede to ,thers
the civil right to work on the seventh
day of the week and TO rest on am
other day if they choose TO do So, or
to refuse to observe any day as the
Sa bbath
Now if such body of Christian OBJ
servers of the seventh day of the week
can be developed in this country by
the power of conscientious convection
alone. in the face of all those cireum-
stances which the advocates of sun
dav observance regard as 50 fatal to
their cause. is it not apparent that no
Christian institution needs the support
of the civil power? We commend this
object lesson to the consideration of
those who are claiming that what they
designate as the Christian Sabbath
will perish from the earth unless they
can secure the passage of laws to pro-
teet and preserve it.
