"Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." j Hqw many of my young readers ikeep the Sabbath day holy ? How ma ny , try to keep it holy? i All of them should, for it makes God very angry when any. of his creatures disobeys his commands. He is constantly watch ing us all, and when we do anything that he has commanded us not to! do, he takes notide of it and will, sooner or later, punish us for it; i Let me tell you a little storya true stoiy about Sabbath breaking: ' ...i :! - A great while ago, God raised p up and sent forthJa people whom he call ed Israel, and he appointed a good man named Moses, to lead them to the land iwhich he had given them for a home. Before' they could reach that home, they had tof cross i a wilderness which took them forty years. But while they were journeying, God .did not forget them, v- He talked with Mo ses and told him how to make the peo ple do. He made laws, and one of the laws was: "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." 1 ' !! Mosos read all the laws to the . peo- . pie, and said they must not break h them; if they did hey would be surely punished. But there were some naugli- 1 4... i. . . il. - .1 .

Its blessed invitations' tell Of welcome to :tkeyhouse of prayer. " Come sinner, come," it seems to cry; . . Oh! never doubt thy Maker's love; Christ has! thy ransom paid, then why Delay his clemency to prove ?" 5 ! ' 1 The Sabbath bell! the Sabbath bell! Oft' have we, heard its warning chime, And yet we love the world too well, Nor feel our wavwardness a crime. Yet still thy calls, sweet bell, repeat, Till, ended all our mortal strife, : In earthly shrines no more we meet, But worship in the realms of life. "My Master Always Is. "John nie," said: a man winking slyly to a dryi goods clerk of his acquaintance, ."you must give me good measure'. Your master is not in.' ! Johnnie looked solemnly into the V . man's face and rephed: "2Iy Master is always in " Johnnie's master was the All-seeing ,-' GqcL; Iiet evqry tempted child aye, and adult adopt Johnnie's' motto: " My Master is always in."

You see that he was nailed to a crossyes, great, long nails ' were driven through his hands and feet md that - wicked soldier, pierced his loving heart with a rugged spear. Oh,i how cruel! How could that soldier i be so hard hearted! Do. iV you think, my dear children, that you Ci would have helped to put the blessed Savior to death, if you had been alive, in , those days? I hope not, for he Al loved little children yery dearly, and p oiten blessed, tnem, laying nis nanas upon their heads. ; I But, let me tell you something, i If you do not try to be good, and give your little hearts to God, you will be just asi; wicked as those, cruel 'soldiers were, for the Scriptures teach us, that, when we commit sin, we crucify Jesus g afresh, "and jput him to an open shame.' I'm sure vou would not willinerlv, do ifa this; your little hearts are too. kind and too tender to treat him so cruelly. Then, let me beseech you,-dear chil dren, to give' your little hearts -i to jnhrist, and he will make ypu good and fjreat men - land useful women, and when you die he will take jovt home to' Heaven where you will be happy jW forever.7 ) Jesus said, suffer little chik dren to come unto me.
