Trial of Faith.

All life is a testing period for the saint
of God. The evidence of our faith is
seen in our response to the high calling
of God to a life of service or sacrifice
that will glorify Him. All the trials of
life work out for our good, although
when we are passing through the severe
strain we cannot understand why a low
ing Father would allow us to suffer, yet
that very experience against which We
rebel may be needed to develop our char
acterS. God does not tempt us, but He
does try us to prove us before We are
intrusted with a greater service. Every
: trial that He gives us should be re-
ceived, as He intended it, as a revelation
of His confidence in our power and His
desire to fit US for g. still greater bless
ing. There is always a need for each
trial and we should always seek to know
why God tests US SO that We may become
more efficient in His service. Our trials.

reason being assigned. 1t was not until
later that the full truth of the testing

time was the offering Of the first born

Different From other DAYS.

If we abide in this spirit every Sab
bath will be the Lords day, and every
day of the week may also be in a sense
the Lords day. But it is not intended
that every day should be a Sabbath, else
God would have appointed all the seven
days. instead of only the seventh, as hal
lowed.
1t is a great mistake to regard the Sab
bath the same as other days. There are
many who ask the same question, as did
the governor of an oriental province of a
missionary, What is this day you call
the Sabbath more than any other day."
The missionary responded, What are
you more than any other person."
II am superior to others he replied.
because the emperor appointed me gov
ernor over them
Then said the missionary, 1.-The Lord
our God. who is greater than your en-
peror. has appointed the Sabbath day to
be holier than the other days"
The great distinction between the Sab
bath and other days is in the fact that
God set it apart and sanctified 1t for
special purposes and commanded that
man should keep it holy.
What God hath appointed no other
power can change.

For Rest and Gladness.

There IS no authority, either in the
word or spirit of the Bibles teachings,
for the absurd observances that ignor-
ant and overzealous men have tried to
impose-such as was enacted into law
by the first settlers in Connecticut in
these words
No none shall run on the Sabbath or
walk in bis garden or elsewhere, except
reverently to and from church. No one
shall travel. cook victuals or make beds,
sweep houses. cut hair or shave on the
Sabbath. No husband shall kiss his wife
and no mother her child on the Sabbath
day."
The whole tenor Of the Scriptures is
that the Sabbath should be a day of JOY
and gladness. This does not mean spend
ing 1t in revelry orlthoughtless indul-
gence 'in worldly pleasures, but in the far
greater pleasures of communion and fell
lowship with the Lord of the Sabbath
and in the sweet ministry of deeds of
mercy and kindness to men. Living In
some degree in the same mind and en-
crossed by the same activities that found
expression In Him who made the Sabbath
for man.
