I et us <lo as David did <?f old. Ils. IM?: {P, ai d fee if it will not lmve similar >esults. Does Union have a Sabbath has been a question iu my mind and one that has had to be answered in the negative* The carrying of Ice cream to the train, the numerous cigars that come out of the drug stores, the books and papers that come from where they hip kept, the amouut of sweet meats leaving the doors of the candy kitchen, the numerous bundles passing through the streets, the increasing number of bootblacks that occupy the highways, the people that throng our streets at the hour of public worship, all speak lo uler than tongue or pen, that in Union as a town the I/rrd's day is not observed. As Mrs. Taj lor was out at her work in China a man bQoeht a tract, from 1 er He read it and believed the doctrine was good, but laid the tract aside and thought nj more of it for some time. His wife died. In his sorrow he remembered the tract which led him to learn more about the good news aud when it sunk deep into his heart he decided to close his shop doors on Sunday aud apply for baptism. Shall we who have God's of en word before us lie less wise in observing the Lord's day than this Chinaman? The question put, why has Union such a bad name outside of its borders, to a prominent citizen was answered with, "I do not know; I caunot tell why it is.'' I thiuk.the followiug quotation from the Bible will tell the whole story, "Them that honor me I will honor." "We itlill nnt r.,ro.bu I ???

As 1 sat in the House of God on Thanksgiving Day, it pained mo to think the children were not being trained to be good, true Christian citizens of our Union. How pleasant it would have been to God's ear to have heard the children uniting their voices with those who are on the downward hill of life when we sang that good old song, "My Country, 'Th of Thee." I fear if It were not for the good teachers of our public schools there would be many a child who knew next to nothing about Thanksgiving day with the exception of having a big dinner. At the House of God twenty-six seats were occupied by twenty-two peoplp, not a child among the numbei; the whole company numbered seventy.live, among these were six rfjildren From the oulpit we heard the minister read the prayer of David found in Psalm 144:11, and the reason given for making the request: "That our sons may be as plants grown up in their yo?th, that our daughters may be as corner stor.es, polished after the similitude of a palace " This seldom will be the case if children are allowed to neglect the House of God on Sundays and disregard tha only da? set apart by the nation for public worship. Blessed is that nation whose God is the Lord. In a few years the children of today will be the nation of tomorrow. Tne collection for Connie Maxwell Orphanage was small to what it would have been if all who are connected with the three churches had been present in company with their cnildren and have done as well as one poor widow woman who sent in a penny for each of her five children, one being sick, one under the weather, two in the mil), the least with no shoes to go to Sunday School.

Enoch walked with God and was not, for God took him. Soon we will be not, and will our journey end in Heaven or will Satan conduct us to his home, while the children are left behind to follow on later? Let us be wise that our thoughts may turn us unto God's testimonies. Then what about the dispensary bottles? If we must have the dispensary, is there not some way that can be devised whereby we will not have its bottles thrown broadcast over our town? The drops out of the dispensary bottles have made two little children under six, that I know of, tipsy and how many more only God knows. Cannot something be done to protect those who know not their right band from their left? Let the town follow David's example and Miss Francis E. Willard's advice and soon we shall have such a name abroad that will cause us to lift up our hearts in grateful praise unto the hills from whence our help cometh. DANGER. FRANCIS , WILLARD.
