Subject: The Sabbath Day.
Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the
Irving Square Presbyterian Church,
on the above theme, the pastor, the
Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, took
as his text, Exodus 20:9-11: "Remember
the Sabbath day, to keep it
c holy." He said:
If Moses had never handed down
this haw of God for the guidance of
Israel and of Christendom the truth
would yet remain the same, that the
Sabbath day should be kept holy.
The Sabbath day is one of the greatest
blessings mankind enjoys, whether
it be looked upon as the result of
* a divine decree or of human legislation.
Had God never declared His
will on this point it is very certain
humanity would from sheer force of
necessity set one day in seven apart
as God's day, or if not as God's day,
.l&t least as a day of rest from toil.
The Sabbath day, viewed from
whatever stand you may choose, is
abundantly justified. It satisfies the
* needs of men spiritually and physically.
tt is right, it is necessary, it is
sensible. The longings of the human
heart for better and fuller communion
with the Father above are satis
fied in a peculiar manner, when men
set aside one day a week for meditation,
communion with God and for
41m lfi trotmn /\f a r?A?l U/\rtr
llic vunivauv;u ui cuu suui. huwctci
much we may believe that the Christ
life should be our practice in all the
" walks of our busy life, and however
well we may put our theory of the
Christian life into action, the truth
still is this, that we are better fitted
for further victory and strengthened
in larger measure for continued service
when we set this one day aside
1b a special sense for God and for our
own growth in grace through contact
with His people. The highest
Christian life is the result of the centering
and pooling of like spiritual
i interests. No man has so much enthusiasm
as he who is one of a company
whose hearts and minds are single
unto service and whose lives are
dominated by the same ideals. In
the crowd, not the cloister, is the
place for the Christian. God is attained
most, easiest and best through
contact with men of pure life and far
/' vision rather than through personal
concentration. This is not to say
if that meditation has not its place, foist
is necessary. But it must not fill
our lives to the harm of other interests
and duties. Communion with
God, contact with God's people, meditation
and soul'culture, all these are
necessary to the man who would
grow to be like Jesus, -who would cultivate
his spiritual powers. And the
Sabbath* is a special day and a
; glorious means whereby we may
strengthen the spiritual powers God
" has granted to us.
Then, too, mankind needs a day of
r^st from material toil for the preservation
of the physical powers. x No
man who does a fair day's work six i
times a week and who earns an honest
"living by the sweat of his brow
or with mental toil, is fit for six more l
save as he rests a day between. There j
' { is no man so foolish as the one who
burps the light of life with never a
stop to replenish the fuel that the
m vi of Tr* rnef ve? n rvf
WUU.T l_Lt U>Jt V^? XV/ X VOt iO UUI/
necessarily to be lazy. There can be
no true rest save for the man who
lias earned it through willing and
healthy toil. Rest is the due and the
duty of every true workman. And
if it be the need and the reward of
those who have honorably and sufficiently
labored, how much more
must it be necessitous for those poor,
downtrodden wretches who are forced
to work the wine press of modern
business life until heart is sick and
body wearied almost unto death? Ah,
yes, beloved, man needs the Sabbath
?the rest* day, as the Hebrews called
it?for replenishment and recharging
with the physical energies that sustain
life.
The Sabbath day is set apart as a
day of rest and worship, not without
reason; but because it is right so to
do. It is the duty of man to serve
God all the time and in a special
manner to draw near to Him once a
week at least. God is worthy of oneseventh
of humanity's time and undiv
vided attention for that period. Jehovah
can't do much for the soul that
spends seven days a week in quest of
a living, nor can that man who is
foolish enough to so spend his time
entirely get very near to God. Then,
.toe, the Sabbath is a sensible institution.
We are all well aware that
were it not the law of human life
to quit work at least once a week we
would all end soon in an early grave.
The Sabbath with its beneficent
blessings sets us on anew with recuperated
bodies, with rested minds,
with fresh hope in our hearts, with
inspired souls, upon the days of the
week that are to come if we use it
rightly. Had God not filled the
hearts of men with this truth that
the Sabbath is a sensible institution
?a business proposition, if you will,
for the physical, mental and spiritual
man?it is not hard to realize that
greed would have us labor all the days
of our lives. Then, too, the Sabbath
is a necessity. Man gives God but
small chance in the six days of hurry
jind rush of the,business life, no matter
How conscientious man may be.
Man, on the other hand, cannot stand
seven days of uninterrupted labor for
long. For the conservation of human
strength, for the upbuilding of the
spiritual and religious life in man,
for the glory of God and the entrance
of the soul into fellowship
with Him, the Sabbath is a necessity.
Without it we should become aged
before our time and blunted in spiritual
perception. With it we may
know the joy of true rest well earned
t and may take time to become like
Jesus.
In this day and time, and in this
land, the divine authority of the Sabbath
must be emphasized and upheld.
The words of Jesus which permitted
men to do acts of mercy on
the Sabbath and to secure enough to
eat to restrain hunger and to sustain
the human system, can never, logically
or righteously, be made an excuse
\ '
' J " t
. ,% " .

for unnecessary labor or for a general
holiday. The Sabbath was made for
man and not man for the Sabbath.
But the Sabbath was instituted for
tfie preservation and regeneration of
the body and the inspiration and cultivation
of the soul of man, and not
as a means to idleness and loose living.
There is a difference between
the Sabbath and the Saturday halflioliday.
And the general disregard
by our people of the great memorial
days that commemorate the birth of
the nation, the sacrifice of her martyrs,
the advent of her mighty men,
j is but a reflex of that disregard of
[ the meaning and the obligation of
j God's day?the Sabbath?which He
! mvp In man. Peonlo who will riot ro
vere the Lord will not long remember
Lincoln. Men who will cast aside
the Saviour of the world cannot be
expected to spend much time to commemorate
the deaths and sacrifices
of the saviours of the Union. To put
the Sabbath,'the rest day, on Monday
will not make men go to church;
nor will the placing of Memorial Day
on Sunday be efficient to turn the
hearts of careless men to the contemplation
and commemoration of the
blood that flowed at Harper's Ferry,
Fort Sumter, VickSburg, and the rest.
The man who feels no sympathy for
the Christ on Calvary will feel less
for those who fell on the bloody field
at Gettysburg. What to him are the
birth pains of the nations?
The tendency to turn the American
Sabbath into a Continental Sunday
is as perilous as it is pernicious. It
strikes at the religious, the best and
the central life of the people. The
endeavor to escape Puritanism has
led to all sorts of loose living and
misspent leisure. As between Puritanism
and Continentalism give me
the law to tha. letter, rather than
no law at all. The Sabbath should
not be given over to riotous living.
On the other hand, in our endeavor
to escape with Christ the killing letter
of the law, we have, I think, gone
too far. There are many things that
are necessary and that mutt be done
on tne saDDatn, ana contrariwise,
there are many things done on the
Sabbath that could be as well done on
week days, and as many more that
could well be left undone altogether.
The word of Christ that the Sabbath
was made for man can in no wise
excuse the unnecessary labors that
many tradesmen have to perform on
Sunday. How many men and women
who go. to Coney Island or a hundred
other places on Sunday can rightly
plead necessity as excuse for putting
extra labor upon multitudes of men?
The Sunday paper tends to become
a curse, not because it is unhealthy
or unwise to read the news on the
Sabbath, but because it puts unnecessary
labor, in the majority of cases,
upon a host and robs thousands of
the common day of rest. The man
who can't get shaved on Saturday has
no real excuse for making the barber
work on the Sabbath. I do not want
to descend to trivial things, but you
all know, as well as I, that there are
a thousand and one things done that
have no business to be performed on
the Sabbath.
We need a readjustment to-day in
our estimate of values. Sunday as
the Sabbath is a boon to man. Sunday
as a side show to the other six
days of the week is a sacrilege.
The Transforming Power of Life.
The Arabs have a saying about the
palm tree, that it f/ands with its
feet in salt water and its head in the
sun. They often cannot drink the
oracKisn water iouna in tne oasis
I where the palm grows, but they tap
the tree and drink the sweet palm
sap.
The palm tree by the magic of its
inner life can so change the elements
found in the unkindly soil around
it that they minister to its growth
and strength and fruit-bearing. So
we in our earthly life must often have
our feet in the mire and bitterness
of sin around us; and upon our heads
will often beat the fierce heat of
temptation. But in spite of these
things we shall be able to grow and
grow strong, if within there is the
making of a new life through Jesus
Christ.?Bible Advocate.
Gentleness.
The strength of God is very gentle.
He does not make a great noLe in
lifting the tides or in speeding the
stars in their courses. The sunshine
is one of His greatest treasuries of
power. He turns the hearts of stalwart
sinners by the touch of infant
fingers or by the memory of a pious
mother's spiritual beauty and fidelity.
By loving invitations, tender encouragements
and manifold ministries of
patience and sympathy, He encourages
the penitence and the faith of
sinful and weak human hearts. His
children should seek more of His gentleness.
We are too easily tempted
to bluster and violence. We forget
that gentleness is greatness as well as
goodness. If we would do brave
deeds, let us seek to be filled with
divine gentleness.?Northern Christian
Advocate.
How Christ Makes Something of Us.
An English preacher used the following
illustration: "Once there was
a brier growing in the ditch, and
there came along a gardener with his
spade. As he dug round it and lifted
it out, the brier said to itself: 'What
is he doing that for? Doesn't he
know that I am only an old, worthless
brier?' But the gardener took it and
planted it am.id his flowers, while the
brier said: 'What a mistake he has
made, planting an old brier like my- (
self among such rose trees as these!' "
Carrying the Cross. ^ -r'
In the mind of Jesus the cross is
not a particular misfortune, but the
measure of suffering implied in ev
ery act of love and self denial; this \
is the sense in which it is the very j
instrument of redemption; Jesus car- I
ried His cross, and those who follow j
Him must imitate Him, and in like
manner carry a cross for the salvation
of the world.?Auguste Saba? I

Everybody needs to take Sulphur at
this season. Nothing like it to purify the
blood, dear up the complexion and remove
"that tired feeling." But the only way to
take it is in liquid form. Hancock's Liquid
Sulphur taken internally is the best Spring
tonic. Applied externally Hancock's Liquid
Sulphur quickly cures Eczema, Tetter, and
all Skin Diseases. Hancock's, the only
Liquid Sulphur Ointment, removes Pimples,

?Cured in 3 Weeks by Caticura.
"After having the measles my whole
head and neck were covered with scaly
sores about as large as a penny. They
were just as thick as they could be. My
hair all came out. 1 let the trouble run
along, taking the doctor's blood remedies
and nibbing on salve, but it did not seem
to get any better. It stayed that way for
about six months; then I got a set of the
Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week I
noticed a big difference, and in three weeks
it was well entirely and I have not had the
trouble any more, and as this was seven
years ago. I consider myself cured. Mrs.

Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff 1
of The Eclectic Medical Review says I
of Unicorn root (Hclon'uis Diotea) which j"
is one of the chief ingredients of the "Fa--'']

"A remedy which invariably acts as a uter- j

He continues "in Helonias we have a medica- j

culiar to women it is seldom that a case is i
seen which does not present some indication j

says: "The following are amonp the leadiup !
indications for Helonias (Unicorn root).. Pain j

"It is an important remedy in disorders of

Prof. John M. Scudder, M. I)., late of

"In relation *to its general effects on the

there if such general unanimity of opinion. It
is universally regarded as the tonic useful In
