The institution of the Sab. bath marks the climax of God'e work of creatiou ; its observance is con- firmed in the Decalogue aed the Pro- phets, and further interpreted by our Lord. In the medern tendency to- ward laxness in this respect„ we have no right to dictate Ile to what any one individual ought to do, but it is our duty to set a worthy example and to co-operate in every possible way to- ward the observance of the law and spirit of the Sabbath. Miss Ring- ston's remarks led to an interesting discussiou. This was followed by a short talk froth Miss Meanie on the work being clone for sailors and re- turned soldieie by the Upper Canada Tract Society. This is enrely a most laudable bit of social Christianity.

He exnelle in all these but vanity. The fault lay with Solomon's point, of view ; he could tint see that beyond labor, wealth and knowledge, theta was something greater and better.
