Some time ago Mr. Johnson came

He met with considerable encourage
ment from farmers along the proposed
route ana received pfoinissfs Of support
from business men OF this city. But
since the matter of bond issue for

THE USES OF THE SABBATH.

That one day out OF every seven has for long
time in the worlds history been set aside as diff
erent from other days is within itself phenomenon
II there is nothing in the custom to make use
full one then II most assuredly involves fearful
waste OF time. Think of how much time Is consum-
ed in Sabbaths in an ordinary life time. Fifty two
out of every year for seventy years. tho Divnely
allotted space for human life, equals three thous-
and six hundred and forty dHys, say ten years
for 1t lacks only ten days of being that much.
How much could be accomplished in those ten
years? How many burrows could man run in his
fields? How many bolts Of cloth could be wooven
How many articles OF merchandise sold? How
many dollars made?
But that Is just one way of looking at it, And
superficial way at that.
The law OF the Sabbath seems to be based on the
great principles of nature. And men working
seven days out of every seven would not gain much
IT anything by the additional labor. They would be
far more apt to loose by It, They would be sure to
deteriorate physically. mentally. and morally The
man who works tie six secular days and then puts
In days wor,. on Sunday will just loose Monday.
That's all. That is Il may be all and It NAV not
be all.
1t Is said the human. heart several tous-
and strokes in light hours of sleep compared
with eight hours OF time when one is awake. The
heart is very delicate vital part And when it
stops 1t stops. And when It stops. there is pro-
found silence. long eternal silence.
When man goes seven days out of seven, he is
putting 1t up TO that one organ that keeps him 60
ing in strenuous fashion. And sometime he will

In the way all know should take It?
Az II has been said the seventh is Sabbath
day that man may have q chance to get acquainted
with his wife and his children and to cultivate his
friends Are not friendships of that character

But has not every man also part in his being
that calls for something that never seen on
land or sea? Does he not occasionally cast his
eye up into the deep blue and wonder why? Do not
the old questons that have haunted all men from
the beginning still haunt us?
Do we not need the one day that is called the
Lords Day as a reminder? DO We not need to listen
to men who speak to us of other things than those
as think OF all the other days? Is there not

importance of Work.

A negative life Is wicked life Someone has said mo angel ever ap. peared to a man who was not at york" You cannot make a man good by keeping him idle. T must be about my Fathers business" said Christ in the temple. That Is the gospel of ev. cry man who is loyal to his own soul Is the comment of the Ohio State Jounaal. There is no excuse for idle, ness. Work, like virtue, religion, faith, is from within. The impulse toward the right Is what keeps a man at work end if he Is not at work he lacks the impulse. His religion is too weak to exert itself. A positive life is the only true life. Nor is mere altrufsm the only form of work. It is as much . mans duty to help himself as 1t is t, help others. so that help Is upbuilding which is the very condition of one's being a benefit to others. A man who loves roses, sunsets, stars, creeks, trees, birds, Is friend of humanity. Loving Gods beautiful world includes man, or 1t is a false love. Not to love these creations of goodness and grace denotes negative life that is positively wicked
