Sabbath Observance.
I3y Rev. D. Perrie.
One of God's best gifts to man is the
Sabbath or weekly day of rest, It le
one a the universal nee& of the world.
It takes its place with the sun and the
breeze for the restoring and invigora.t.
ing of the hutnan race. Those who
deny themselves such a, blessing ere
only hastening the day of inftrmite
and premature decay. As well live in
a, dark, darop, fetid room without ver-
nal sun and bebop air as to toil, moil
and worry through life without the
quiet restful houre of the Sabbath,
Not only does the Sabbath take its
place with the great natural blessings
of life, but it has an equally important
place among the fundamental laws of
the world, Th.e laws of the nations
of the earth rest upon the Decalogue
given on Mt. Sinai millenniums ago.
When God wrote upon the tables of
stone the commandment, "Remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy," in
what company did Ele place it? It was
given an equally important place with
the other fundamental laws of man-
kind. It stood parallel to the com-
mands, "Thou shalt not kill," "Thou
shalt not steal," and "thou shalt not
bear false witness." Can we abrogate
or annul any of these laws? Neither
can we destroy the Sabbath. The
law Hutt preserves one day in seven
as a day of rest to man is of equal im-
portance with the law that seeks to
preserve his life, Many and varied,
however, have been the objections
against the observance of the day of
rest. It has been said that the Sab-
bath is a Jewishinstitution and to
be confined exclusively to that parti-
cular race of people. It is enough to
say in rebuttal of this that the Sab-
bath was instituted thousands of years
before the Jewish nation began to ex-
ist. And we must not forget in this
connection Christ's words when He
declared, "The Sabbath was made fov
man, not man for the Sabbalb 1" It
was made for the well-being of man in
general not simply for the Jew or any
particular class. The Son of man, the
representative of humanity, not the
Son of the Jew is Lord of the Sabbath.
Here it will be noticed that the Sate
bath being made for man is also a
permanent institution, lit is not for
any particular age or Period but for all
men and for all thne. Those who are
opposed to the enauting Sabbath laws
maintain that the observance' of the
day should be left as a voluntary mat-
ter to the conscience of every citizen.
There may ,be many points advanced
against+ this contention, it is enough,
however for the present to say that
Canada ie as yet a christian country.
It is surely what we would expect
that the christian sentiment of the
people should be reflected in the laws
that are enacted, The goal of
christianity is the highest good of hu-
manity. The Sabbath oomes to us
with the testimony of the ages that it
is a day of bright beneficence to care-
worn weary men.
Much May be said regarding the
Sabbath as it affects our physical and
religious well-being. It is only pos-
sible to deal very briefly with what
,may be said from either point of view,
We have abundant testimony as to
the beneficial effect of the weekly day
of reet on the mental and physical life
of man, Eminent physiologists have
deruonstrated the fact that the ret of
the night without the additional rest
of the Sabbath is not sufficient for the
maintenance of bohny vigour and the
prolonging of life. History informs
us that the National Convention in
Paris abolished public worship in 1793
and appointed the tenth day instead of
the seventh for the partial cessation of
labour but it is well known that it was
at least for the physical well-being of
the nation when Napoleon restored
the seventh day in 1806. John Burns
says, "Sunday rest is physically good,
mentally invigorating and morally
healthful. It has been commercially
beneficial to the people of this land
(Erigland.) It has done pore than
anything else to buttress and maintain
the excellent institution we call
"home." A noted French statesman
deelares, "The Sunday rest is an es-
sentially democratic institution, more
needed now than ever owing to the
high pressure at which we live."
Lord Beaconsfield once said, "Of all
Divine institutions, the most Ditine is
that which secures a day of rest for So let'have the Scott Act, The

ed christian the day of rest ia pre-
eminently the day which the Lord
hath made he will rep ice and be glad
in it. The humble believer in God will
keep holy the Sabbath according to
the commandment-. The christian who
is loyal to his Lord' will be loyal to
the Lord's day. It hae been frequent-
ly etated thae the Sabbath, has been
and may still be made a day of gloom,
irksorne and wearisome. It must
therefore be relieved by different
pastimes the introduction of different
sports and pleasures. This comes
from the fact that the spirit of the day
is lacking. None but a truly loyal
Britieh subject can celebrate Victoria
Day. A rebel and a foreigner would
have none of it. It might just as,
aptly be said that Christianity is a
thing of gloom, a drag and a weariness
to flesh and blood. It may be so to
many who profess it but do not under-
stand it. It is the same with the
observance of the Sabbath when there
is no Sabbath spirit, When it cannot
be said with the apostle, "I was in the
spirit on the Lord's day." May Cana-
da ever enjoy the blessing of a restful
Sabbath, And what Mrs. Malang
has said of the homes of old England
may it be said of the homes of our
broad Dominion.

Shall We Have The Scott Act?
To the Editor:
We have seen this question raised
lately, and so-called "Temperance"
people appear. to be more or less agi-
tated about ia It is a sign of the
times that such a question can be
asked. We've had the Scott Act and
found it such a hyleoue failure that it
was appealed on the first opportunity
by thousands. Bub that seems to
make no impression on mad infatuas
tion, and I have heard the opinion
expressed that it would be a good
thing to have the Scott Act; and for
the matter of that, any kind and
every kind of foolish legislation that
can be introduced. The more we have
of it, the quicker the fallacy will be
brought to light, and the sooner will
there be hopes of restoration to sanity
in law making. Curfew.
We are living at a. time when the
inajority of the community apparent-
ly are unable to see any other way of
dealing .with social and moral ques-
tions, than by passing laws and telling
people thus peremptorily, what they
shall drink, eat, wear, sow, grow and
do. It is a form of mania that seen's-
ingly must have its rum Some of
them are deluded into the belief that
to "abolish the bar" is the beginning
and the end. Fatuous idea! To be
consistently logical, they must n
only abolish the bar, but also the shop
