EVERYBODY'S BIBLE BOX.

O.-What is meant by the Scriptures
which declare that in the last days there
would be a fearful time of trouble DAN
lei xii l; Matthew XIV, q, 2O? Has this
any reference to the industrial and social
crisis that is now developing throughout
the world?
Answer-There have been seasons OF
severe trouble and destruction at various
times in the history of the race, such as
the destruction of the city of Jerusalem
when about a million and a quarter OF
Jews were slain, and the French RevoIu-
tion when vast numbers were slaughter
ed by the mobs and by the troops-a reign
of terror indeed-but the time of trouble
in the end of this age mot the end of the
world for the earth abideth forever

involved. 1t is time to look at the pic
ture and forget the frame.
This trail leads straight back TO
Christ. In His example and teachings
must be found the warrant for the
observance of the day. We are start
led to find that Jesus always appears
in connection with the Sabbath in
the role of a Sabbath breaker This
should give pause to us when we are
tempted to impose our interpretations
upon another man. TOday'S lesson
enunciates two principles. The Sab
bath was made for man. and, 1t
is lawful to do good on the Sabbath
On this platform Jesus fought the
narrow legalists whose regulations had
compressed the life out of the great
day which the law of Moses designed
to be a time of rest, and of refreshing
memories
The Day to Fight For.
Let us give up the fight for the
Puritan Sabbath. upon which man
could not even kiss his wife. What
ever Sabbath we keep must be
twentieth century Sabbath, and so kept
in modern ways. Practices must be
for individual Interpretation. The pre-
servatiOn of the essential spirit of the
day alone is important. Cheerfully
may we surrender any rules or regu-
latiOns, if only we succeed in saving
the day of the Lord in the spirit of
Jesus
And what is that Sabbath? By
His definition, it is day that minis
tiers to man. THE Sababth was maze
for man." but to interpret that state
ment as meaning that the day was
created ONLY for the baser uses of the
lower and physical nature of man is
absurd. The highest exercise of any
office or function is its truest. The
Sabbath ministers to q mans body, but
more important than that, it serves
his immortal spirit. The Sabbath was
made first of all for that part of man
which is immortal If his mind and
soul are not the stronger and nobler
for this one dav in seven, then there
has been no proper Sabbath obser-
vance. The best Sabbath helps man to
be his best self. Too much consider
alton for the body and its pleasures
would give US deeadent Rome.
By the second definition of Jesus
this should be ministering day. HIS
example set the seal of worship upon
it, for in the house of God the mem
orial purposes of the Sabbath are best
observed. Then the day is to be put
to uses of charity and brotherllness;
The sick are to be remembered, and
all the worlds needy. A day that Will
bring thoughts of God and the help or
God to all men is a Sabbath day IN the
shirt of Christ. For more than II
needs "bread and circuses," or hlgheT
wages and more pleasures, TINS ola
world needs a new, vital sense of the
relation Of man to God. A proper SAP
bath is one strong strand of this tie

This is putting the right end of the
Sunday question first we nave
heard too much about the negative
side Here we exercise our minds on
how to make rich the one day in the
week that is in memory of God and
for the honor of man. Aside from
it's Christian character, the LORD 5
Day represents one seventh OF al our
1ife. and so it deserves special atten-
tion. Out of the present contempla-
ton of the subject, every interested
person should get at least one pract-
icabIe hint for Sabbath-ob observance;
remembering always however. that
the day is not one of mere rules ana
human regulations In details, each
person must plan his own Sabbath
keeping.

Sa bbath office as the old Jews recog-
nized Reading should be different,
and music and exercises Whatever
will signalize this as a day set apart
for singular and sacred purposes is to
be cultivated assiduously.
Only rest day can be a right day.
A double sign-board is common along
the highways. Such is the Christian
Sa bbath: it points backwards and for
ward: it is a memorial of creation. the
rest day of Jehovah; and it is a remind
er of the Resurrection, which all our
lives may share with Christ. Every
well-kept Sabbath is fraught with mes
sGges of the sovereignty of God. OF the
completed work of his Son. and of the
endless life that may be lived in Him.
One great hymn or poem committed
to memory each Sunday would @tore
the mind with priceless treasures, and
tinge all of ones thinking.
Mindful of the merciful mission of the
Lords Day. it is a wise practice to
seek to visit at least one sick or be-
reaved person every Sabbath. How
the beautiful spirit of the day would
be enhanced if all of us were seeking
for some work of mercy to do then!
Like a mountain peak, the Sabbath
is a place of outlook 1t is an oppor-
IONS Then it is that Seulah Land
comes especially into view. The ed
vocational uses of the day are en-
HANGED by every thought given to
the distant realms where Sabbath is
kept by brethren of many colors,
chimes, and conditions.
A dramatic statement of the march
of the Lords Day that is thirty-siX
hours long is presented in the report
to the Edinburg Missionary Confer
ence on The Church in the Mission
Field
Perhaps the simplest and yet most
impressive way of realizing the wide
fellowship in worship and service of
the Church of God, is to take into ac-
count what happens week by week in
the course of the Lords Day. The day
first dawns about sunset of our Satur-
day. in the longitude $50 degrees east
of Greenwich. and the first inhabited
country where the days call to worship
is heard and answered is in the Fiji
Islands. in the heart of the Pacific. The
period is not very remote when these is
lands were typical of the darkest depths
of heathenism. now the Fijian Church
leads the world in the worship of the
Lords Day.
