serve the Jewish 20 "'NU'
seventh day in
many places, and in some places the
first day Of the week, the Anniversary
Of our Lords resurrection; and some
times they observed both of these
days. But their observance was not
that of law or command, for the Apos-
tie wrote, Eye are not under Law, but
under grace"
So with US today. We are glad that
one day in the week is so generally
observed as day of rest, Sabbath
sabbath day signifies rest day. We
are glad that the day so generally set
apart is the first day of the week, be-
cause it so beautifully commentaries
the Christians hopes, attested by our
Lords resurrection from the dead.
To the Christian, every day is Sab
bath, every day should be used as holy
to the Lord, and nothing should at any
time be done contrary to the Divine
will or the principles of the Divine
Government Jesus declaration that
He was Lord Of the Sabbath reminds
us afresh of st. Pauls declaration that
God the Father rested from His own
work on the Seventh Day! He left the
work entirely for Jesus to do. The
Seventh Day of Jehovah's rest was
one of the great Days of the creative
Week, each seven thousand years long.
Six Of these great Days had passed
and mans creation was in the end Of
the sixth
Having established His human son
in Eden as the god or ruler of the
earth, Jehovah rested or ceased from
His work during the Seventh Day, or
seventh period of seven thousand
years. Six thousand years of this sew
enth period have already passed and
Jehovah God has rested, ceased from
His work-He has not interfered to
assist man or lift him out of sin and
degradation. Another thousand years
OF the seven remains, but God will not
actively engage in mans rescue even
then. Why not? Because it is a part
of the Divine Program to leave fallen
man and his rescue entirely in the
hands of Jesus He is Lord of this
Great Seventh Day.
Mans Seventh Day.
This entire period of seven thou
sand years which constitutes the
great Seventh Day or Sabbath with
God is divided with man into seven
great Days Of a thousand years each
in six of which he has been under a
reign of sin and death; toll and suf-
fering; but the Seventh, or Sabbath.
of thousand years, has been appoint
ed for his rescue and uplifting and
blessing. In that glorious Seventh
thousand year period Jesus is to be
Lord. 1t will be the great Antitypical
Sabbath, and the great Antitypical
Jubilee for mankind

SHALL WOMEN WEEP2

A prominent social worker takes oc-

lifted up her voice and wept while
pleading that the government take

after all be only sophistication, the
scorner of tears denounces these inn

feminine for the stern, puisant woman

poses, from the wardrobe of her mill

she refuses to recognize even the argu-
ment of evpediency and declines to

an end they are meaas that may fairly

THEY CAME FROM SCOTLAND
Phrases 1--WE Uns" and "You Uns" Are
Not ProvlneIallsms of South
ern States.

Northerners who visit certain parts
of the south and southwest are some
times amused by what they call south
ern provincialisms. Among these are
I'VE uns" and you uns." AS matter
of fact, the expressions are not strict
ly southern. but are used by those
who live-or used to live-in the Allie
ghenies. The mountain population
seems to be largely homogeneous, as
II descended from a common stock.
The mountaineers have mingled lit
tie with the people of the lower coun-
try, and being isolated, have preserved
some of the peculiarities Of speech and
custom brought from the mother coun-
try, which the rest of US nave aban-
doned. I'VE uns" is not even a true
Americanism; II Is common even now
In Scotland. whence it was doubtless
imported to our mountains by the
hardy Scotch immigrants.
The phrase is an ancient one It
may be found in Tyndale's New Testa.

POPULARITY.

We all desire the worlds applause
and for it strive and strain; it's labor
in worthy cause. but often done in
vain. Reverses come and come again,
and kindred bitter pills; you cannot
win the love of men, unless you pay
your bills. One fellow cultiyates his
voice and sings like golden Tyre, and
hopes to make the world rejoice or
set the same on fire; and" say the
worldly rubbernecks, he'd fiji our
hearts with thrills. End be a credit to
his sex, il he would pay his bills. One
follows up Demosthenes and binds us
with a spell. and much he hopes the
world to please. and please it passing
well; but mankind hears this guy
orate. and says, in tone that ehills:
He'd be the glory of his state, if he
would pay his bills" No matter to
what heights you 60 or how you con-
quer fame, the story Of the scads you
owe viii cling around your name. And
so it's better far to climb the law and
humble hills, and leave the shining
heights sublime until you've paid your
bills.-Walt Mason.

WARY OLD BLACKSNAKE
GAVE NATURALIST A MERRY
TIME BEFORE ITS CAPTURE.
Every Device, From Flight to Open
Defiance Resorted To Finally
Shaken From Tree Top Il
Continues Resistance.

A naturalist In Virginia encountered
desirable specimen OF blacksnake
which he wanted for his collection. AS
usual In such cases the snake saw him
first. 1t lay perfectly quiet, trusting to
escape observation.
Directly In front Of the naturalist
lay wide open space. The naturalist
knew that he could easily overtake
the blacksnake before 1t could reach
the bushes opposite, The blacksnake.
too. seemed to be cognizant OF this
fact. inasmuch as the man had not
taken half a dozen steps In its direc-
ton before It changed its tactics and,
some ten feet away, turned and
charged its hunter
The man spread hi, legs and stoop-
ed to catch the snake But the black
snake displayed such agility that be-
fore the hunter could determine just
where to grasp it the snake was ten
feet away.
1t was evident that the blacksnake
expected the man to fee, as no doubt
1t had seen other men flee under such
circumstances. The snake was some
seven feet In length and although
quite harmless looked formidable
enough to frighten the average man.
AS its hunter did not fee the snake
turned about and again charged. This
time 1t swerved from It's course when
II saw that the man YVES standing his
ground. This deviation in the snakes
rush got it into some bushes. Here it
coiled after the manner of rattle
snake.
II elevated Its tail and yibrated It
with great rapidity and. striking the
leaves and twigs. managed to produce
Ia buzzlng sound not unlike the warn
Ing of RATHER At the same time it
drew back its head as II ready to
strike.
The man continued to advance; so
the snake once more changed its tao
tics. 1t began to doge In and out OF
the bush The maneuvering continu-
ed for perhaps ten minutes. Then the
man. seeing a good opportunity. rush
ed forward to secure his prize.
The blacksnake mounted through
the bushes to their tops and went
from the tops to the lower branches
Of small birch. 1t continued to
mount upward and made It's way to
the swaying tip, some Is feet In the
air, performing the feat as quickly as
a squirrel could have done It,
From this elevated position the
blacksnake surveyed the man in tri-
umph. But its exultation was short
lived, for vigorous shake of the tree
brought it down, and as 1t fell upon
the soft bed Of leaves at the hunters
feet the man threw himself upon the
serpent and succeeded In catching it.
Even then the blacksnake did not
lose its head, but by an unexpected
movement managed to fasten one of
Its teeth in finger, infficting deep
scratches.
The naturalist kept this snake for
nearly two months It proved to be
the most intractable of blacksnakes.
Whenever the naturalist took it In
his hands it would exhibit much in
genuity in its attempts to escape.
