"The Sabbath. Was Made for Man and not
Man for the Sabbath."
Centered according to neeor tee ran.
/lament of Caua,ua. m the year One
Thoueand Nine Hundred and Four.
by Wrri, Bally, os .Toronto, at, the
Department of Agriculture. 01,tawa.)
A despatch from Los Angeles, Cal.,
says: Rev. Fraile De Witt Talmage
preached from' the following text:—
Psalm xi., 8, "If the foundations be
destroyed, what Can the righteous
do?"
Emasculatins, depressing and be-
numbing is tite;3 maxim propagated by
some lazy, nonprogressive people as
the rule of -Mount and life, that
“wliat was good enough for our fa-
tliers should be good enough ror us."
I would yield to no man in my rev-
),erence for the Memory of the saiated
, dead whose sacred dust lies in oui
eeissetries. No flowers are there too
fragrant for the family plots, no epi-
taphs too eloquent or too reverent
to recount their virtues; nor, When
,the family finances are adequate, any
mausoleum too imposing,' to enshrine
their remains. I have always found
out when investigating that if a sou
does not respect the memory of a
dead mother lie will not respect the
living wife, who becomes the mother
of his children..
In the first place, I protest against
the iconoclasm which: is undermining
the foundation stones of our ances-
tral Sabbath. Its desecrators !have
been going up and down the length
and breadth of the land asserting
that religions worship can become as
much a form of dissipation as drink
or overeating or overexercising can
be.' They make a wrong application
of our Lord's words that the "Sab-
bath was made for man and not man
lor the Sabbath." They affirm that
it is absurd for a business man who
has been at hard work for at least
six days of the week from 7 o'clock
in the morning sometimes until 10
or 11 of 12 o'clock at night to be
compelled to get up on Sunday in
time for an early Sunday school,
then to attend two long church:
preaching services, and then perthaps
to attend a Christian Endeavor so-
ciety besides.
They contend that Sunday should
• be a day of rest and that what a
man needs upon the Sabbath clay ia
relaxation. He should go to bed
Jgaturday night after a hot bath._synth
Iis mind perfectly at ease. As he
crawls into bed he should be able to
;say to lihnself: "Now, I can lie- hero
jut es long as T please. If I awake
.at 9 o'clock, all right. If, I can
;sleep to 12, better still. Then. after
I awake I will have a cup of cofTee
and a roll brought to my bedside,
.and I will eat a little and then stay
in,.bed another hour, reading the
a -e my children out to one of the
tevs
paper. Then after dinner I will
t,
public parks or dowit by the seaside
and get a sun bath and a view of
God's trees and valleys and hillsides,
or I will go to one of our great art
_galleries an.d look at the pictures. It
is impossible for me to go and. see
the painters' and the scu1ptors mas-
terpieces on any other day. Therefore
the city art galleries should be open -
.ed on Sunday. Then in the evening
hour I will go to chinch if I feel like
it. If I do not desire to .do so I
Will go to bed again and rest—yes,
jut rest. By such a system of rest
I shall be invigorated and shall re-
turn to •any work the next Monday
strong in body, clear in mind., more
loving to my family, the human race
at large, and to God himself. That,"
;says our iconoclast, "is sny idea of
the Sabbath day. I do not think a
hardworking man has a right to
make his Sunday a d.ay of halal work
, in church going,- so that he works
harder on the Sabbath than lie does
limy other day of the week."
-'. THE LORD'S DAY.
I protest, in the second place,
-against the iconoclasm which would
eliminate from our lives the divine
priticiple of conceea for the welfare
of others. Profane iconoclastic Naiads
have been onderneining the foundation
stones of ovie sacred Sablaatli. Aye,
these enemies of God have been doing
more; they have been sneering and
ridiculiag the beautiful parable of
the good Samaritan. They have
been deelaring that a man's neighbor
• belongs not to ihe family which lives
next door to him. 'rho only neigh-
bor who .has claims he wound recog-
nize is the wife or child who lives
within the fotir walls of his own
house. 1.1e Las beeli asserting that
a man's chief duty in life is to him-
self and his own. After the members
of his immediate family have eaten
enough and have a well filledward-
robe and a comfortable house to live
in, then a man has fulfilled his chief
end to society, His doctrine • is,
"Care for yourself end let others
car* for themselves in the same
way,"
THIS 1.11e.A.UTIFUL IDOL.
"Can any good come out of sitch a
Nazarette?'d 1 once read of 'a veal:
• comp:claw invading a country of the
far east. One day lie entered a
temple whete stood an idol so •beau-
tiful that not one of his followers
was willing to destroy it. With an
Oath, the conqueror said, "ff you
will not obey my commands I will
deetroy it myself." He lifted his
battleax. .As he raiSed himself in his
stierUpe—for lie had ridden his horse
into the temple--witit a mighty hlow
he Oiattered the idol into a thousand
pieeee. 'There to his followers' stir -
prise, he revealed the fact that the
ine&of the idol was not a vaeuttin.
It OM been filled evith thouSands up-
on thousands of golden coins, Which
es a latea bed hileSt from the brokezi
statue and rolleci to tile feet of the
western ieonoclast, The iconoclaet
Who destroys the.beautiful image of
charity. and benevolence may think
that he, too, will be able to grasp
the wealth which it pours forth on
the neeay and the suffering, but he
will lie disappointed. The econoinee
which refuses to give help to those
who need proves a canker to prosper-
ity, and those who withhold their
charity come to poverty. The com-
mand is that lie who loves God, love
his brother also, and the converse is
true that he who does not love his
brother prove.s that he does not love
his O od.
The daintiest delicacies ever cooked
in the mother's stove were not for
t/ie growing boys, with healthy,
vigorous appetites. They were for
the poor consumptive young girl who
used to .sit day after day upon- the
neighbor's veranda in the noon sun,
sneiling at us as we trudged away
to school. My, how we cast long-
ing eyes at those jollies! We then
at times almost wished we could be
sick, at least for a little while, to
get a taste of them And how
warm and comfortable the mit-
tens looked which mother knitted for
the poorathilcIren living over the hill!
And when the farmer who lived down
in the ralley Was prostrated with
typhoid fever and lay for months,
hovering between life and 'death,
don't you remember how your father
and the neighbors took turns plow-
ing his fields and sowing his grain.
and getting in his harvests? They
say that that sick man was once a
strong athlete. However that may
be, when, upon his sick bed he heard
what his neighbors had done and
how they had kept the wolf of hun-
ger from his door he cried like a lit-.
tie child. Ile became just such a
sick man as Ralph Connor depicted
•in one of hia backwoods tales.
Then the funerals of our fathers
and forefathers. They never allowed
a neighbor to be buried like a dog or
a friendless pauper, as sometimes we
do. No. They literally practiced
the gospel rule : "It is better to go
to the house of mourning than. to
the house of feasting." When their
neighbors wept, they wept. When
their neighbors were lowered into
theis opea graves, they themselves
held the ropes that gently let down
the coffins. Was not their way bets'
ter than our way? We live and
breathe only for self. Was not the
Christian helping hand our fore-
fathers extended to the troubled ones
in their midst better than the icy
stare with which we regard our
neighbors? We grumble in a street
car because we have to wait for two
minutes while a funeral procession,
wending its way to the -cemetery, is
holding us at a crossing. The Gold-
en Rule which our forefathers prac-
ticed should never be allowed to slip
out of our lives. The sick man who
lives nex:t door to as should be just
as carefully cared for and nursed by
us as if he was our own son.
CLUBHOUSE VERSUS HOME.
Do you, my brother, think for one
instant that the advent of the mo-
dern clubhouse and public reception
hall and Delmonico banquets is ,a
moral improvement for modern, men
over the old fashioned canning part-
ies and merryniaking frolics which
once Made the rafters of the' old
farmhouse creak like the beams a a
ehipat sea and bend alnanst like
William Toll's bow? Do you think
this? I do not. 1 believe that any
enjoyment which a man is compelled
systematically to find outside of the
society of his wife and children and
home is a depleting, enervating and
ult im ate fy degrading enjoyment. I
believe that • any enjoyment which
'systematically makes mother rele-
gate •the care of ,her • children to
nursegirls and to hired hands le an
enjoyment which is poisoned through
and through by evil influences which
will -ultimately, bring forth harvest-
ing's not for God, but•ior Satan. I
believe this tendency of the human
race, this evil poison almost every-
where prevalent, to find enjoyment
anywhere, evetywhere except by your
own fireside, will ultimately result in
a second downfall of man as drama-
tic and overwhelming and cornplete
as when Adam and Eve ate of the
fruit of the forbidden tree Unless man
himself, by the grace of God, halts
and learns again to Bad his chief
pleasures in the associations of his
wife and children within the four
i
,walls of his own home: I once.
heard father say to my mether, "I
hope after we aro dead that our
children will believe we have loved
them and have wanted to be with
them moneathan with any- one else
on earth:" :They lived for us. Yes,
our parents lived for us. May we
be like the old folks. May we find
our chief enjoyment not only in liv-
ing. for our children, but also in the
companionship of our children, no
I/latter how old or how young they,
may be. May Modern society not be
invollited into .the pleasures of a
clubhouse'or a public reception hall,
but .be evoluted into the sanctified
enjoyments of a Christian home.
WORLDLY SUCCESS.

of domestic economy, and slice the
bread as thinly as possible without
having it break with haudliog.
Spread the butter on thinly but e%.ell-
ly, and •don't neglect the edges. Id
rather have butter in a border
around my bread,than to lave it

Always put the filling in generously,
and never use filling that is like • a
chip for dryness.
• Wrap each separate sandwich, or
each pair of them, if you prefer the
long, narrow one, in a piece of PoPer.
For this purpose the oiled paper is
hest, and a few cents will induce the
grocer to part with enough to wrap
a hundred sandwiches. If you can-
not get the oiled paper, use any
clean, thin wrapping paper, such as
comes around store parcels:
And when the sandwiches are. all
ready, don't "dump" thera-pellmell
into a basket, pail or sack, but pack
them carefully in a, fresh pasteboard
box, and tie the Ed on firmly. It
will keep them in still better condi-
tion, if the box is then closely wrap-
ped in paper, and tied again, as the
air loves to get at the unproteanil
and defenseless victuals, and bread
soon dries out. Another advantage
of the box, is that it may be dis-
carded when the lunch is eaten, and
some one will be .glad ta escape
"toting!! home an empty pail or bas-
ket.
Never take a slice of dry ham, thin
as tissue paper, and :sneak it in be-
tween, two "good-step-raother" slices
of unbuttered bread, as I have known
to be done by people otherwise hu-
mane. If you use ham, and do not
like the prepared deviled variety, boil
it and chop finely, -and mix with
some favorite dressing, or use
plain.
I have one or two pet recipes for
the making of fillings, and as they
have never appeared in print, I will
give them hez•e.
Egg Filling—For this, boil the eggs
hard, but not rocky, then chop ellern
finely. Add butter, salt, pepper and
vinegar to suit your taste. There
can be no regular rule for these pro-
portions. This can be used: as it is,
or a little French mustard may ae
added, but I generally mix with it
half as much finely chopped temee-
chow, or other mixed pickles. Add
about 1 teaspoon hot water to each
egg of the mixture and beat until
smoothly mixed. I have never
known one sandwich so made to go
begging.
• Sardine Filling—Made as above,
save that canned sardines aro used
instead of the pickles. One five -
cent can of the :fish will make a cou-
ple dozen sandwiches. Salmon is
also nice used in this way. Never
leave out the hot water with the
chopped egg, unless you use the oil
from the fish or some such medium
for moistening.
Cheese Filling—This may be prepar-
ed in various ways. A slice of
cheese as thick as one of your slices
of bread, and cut the same shape is
nice without any "trimmings." Or
if this is too plain, sprinkle it with
powdered sage, , or 'chopped parsley.
Or grate it and mix with some salad
dressing. Another style uses one
part of rather strong cheese, grated,
and one part of the minced egg.
Crushed boiled beans mixed with
chili sauce make another good filling.,
or catsup or chili sauce with the
egg mixture. In fact, the egg may
be combined in many ways with
various meats, vegetables, etc. As
in most places eggs are cheaper than
anything else in this line, they les-
sen the necessary expense to a con-
siderable amount,
If going for an all -day trip, bread
may be taken. in loaves, and jars
filled with some good mixture, then
at evening fresh sandwiches may be
made on the spot, which will en-
sure their being nicer than would he
possible otherwise. Don't forget to
put the bread in a vessel as nearly
airtight as possible anddon't leave
the sharp knife at home.
Fruit sandwiches, may be made in
various ways, jam between the slices
being a favorite fasbion. Bananas may
be merely sliced, and sprinkled with
granulate:I, or ponnlered sugar, be-
fore -filling in. Raspberries, straw-
berries, eta, cruahed and mixed with
sugar are nice. Grated apple slight-
ly sugared is hot to be despised.
Lemon jelly made as for pica is a
nice filling. Figs or dates chopped.
nets of va Haus kinds are becoming
popular also for this use. One
might make sandwiches every day
for three Months, and have them no
two days, the smile. And they find
plaee at so many fuections beside the
nene picnie, that it is weli to be
expert at the Making..

WIFE FOR SALE—CHEAP.
Belfast Man Advertises. His Max-
, tial Woes.
A. young man of Belfast, Ireland, is
anxious to sell his wife cheap, and
has advertised the fact in a local
paper.
He says: "My wages average about
80s a week, 'of which the wife seeks
28s, leaving me the remaining 2s to
spend as • lavishly as I like. • Four
years have passed since I grasped her
hand at the altar—it seems to me a
lifetime. I have failed in weight
about 28 pou,nds since then.
"My wife—I have nicknamed her
'Evergreen'—is a' stoutly built young
woman of a very fascinating appear-
ance, but that is all. She can't wash
tub of clothes, sew on a button, or
darn a pair of socks. She says she
didn't marry me to repair my clothes
and that I should have looked out
for a tailoress.
"When I leave home in the, morning
I feel happy to get a breath of fresh
air free from the clatter of her
tongue. 1 don't trouble coining home
for my dinner in case I might find a
locked door, and before I could hunt
her"up lying browsing in some of the
parks it would be time to resume
business. Therefore I speculate On a
cup of coffee and a bun out of rnY
allowance. No wonder I'm failing.

remains of her day's feeding, it takes

ling with all day, whici seems to be
her daily veork. •
"Tlie neighbors tell me—as if I
don't know-athat she is the most
terrible -tongued speciinen of the pet-
ticoat tribe they over encountered.
"Now for the selling point. Would
any one like to buy her? A signature,
clearing her from me, is all f want.'
My sole desire for recording my mar-
ried life is to remind reckless young
men to refrain from allowing dressy
gowns and pleasing looks to fascin-
ate them into a speedy marriage and
a subsequent life of awful misery.
"Perhaps it will help those in quest
of a partner in life to know that I
picked up this lazy, expensive terror
of henianity at a dance four years
ago in an historical little town in
Ulster."
LONDON NEEDS SERVANTS.
Problem as Serious as it Is In
Canada.
Maids -of -all -work are wanted by
the thousands in London, and regis-
try offices are finding a difficulty in
supplying the demand.
One well-known registry office at
Fulham, has its rooms crowded -daily
with ladies content to wait for hours
in the hope of finding a suitable sen -
vent. On a busy day the callers
have been known to number a thou-
sand.
The up-to-date servant rides to this
Fulham bureau on her bicycle, and a
notice in the reception room announ-
ces that the machines are stored free
of charge. A. servants' club, with
reading rooms, work rooms and din-
ing hall, is for a small charge placed
at the disposal of the girls until they
have selected a suitable mistress.
"The present demand is very large-
ly for the general servant and for
the cook -housemaid. In fact, any
one who keeps only one, two, or
three servants finds it extremely- dif-
ficult to get suited," exclaimed the
proprietress of a West End agency.
"Unfortunately, they represent by
far the largest class of employer, aad
it is no unusual thing to have 600
or 700 such people on the books at
one time.
"People who employ six, eight, ten
or more servants are not affected b3'
the servant famine to any appreci-
able extent --yet. But even they
may have to feel the pinch in time.

A Second is to use a glove PosYder.
Most important thieg about
gloves," said the woman," is the
Manlier in which they are put on the
first time, This should be a careful
task; otherwise the fingers will be
crooked or extend beyond the finger
tip, or be otherwise stretched out of
shape. Instead of buying gloves to
put on the moment 'before going. out,
time should be taken the day before
to put them on carefully, the elbow
being firmly planted on the table and
the gloves tenderly coaxed into place.
"Ti'• geoves are net allowed to be-
come too solid before cleaning they
can be made to look quite slew again
by the use of benzine. Many patent
glove cleaners are on the inarket, but
after all is said add done there is
nothing better than benzine.
"Neither should the glove be dipp-

time an the hand. After putting on
the glove take a bit of cloth slightly
moistened with the benzine and wipe
the gloves off, This in no way'
jures the kid and answers every pur-
pose. . Let the glove dry on the
hand.
"In'putting gloves away it is well
to keep each pair wrapped in tissue

place. • It is always well to keep
sp,chet powder in the glove box, otner-
wise there may be a slight disagree-
able odor from the gloves after
Wearing. Some persons use blotting
paper moistened with some good per-
fume. This can be changed occa-
sionally.
"As with shoes, it is always well
to have several pairs in operation at
the same time, so that the wear will
not come, on any: one pair for a
length of time."

A man of Clod is not only one

The coneecting link is the little
Israolitish maid who had been tak.ere
captive by the Syrians and was act-

all and through all is Um Clod of
ISrael, who worketli all things after
the counsel of His own will, and who
only cloetli wondrous -things (Epli. 1.,11; Pas. lxxii., IS). A. leper is in
human estimation hopelessly eaelean
and as a rule doomed to a slow and
lingering death. 'Flie disease is the
most remarkable type of ain in Scrip-
ture. Consider the most' honorable
rnan of 'wealth of whom you know orj
have heard, held in great estenni by
his fellows, if he is an Ainsavett sin-
ner, a spiritual leper, and should de-
part this life as such, see his future
described by our Lord Himself in
Luke xvi., 22, 28, and see also Rev.
xiv., 10n. xx., 15e.

Bow this Israelitisli maid and
