"His power of discrimination of perceiving that the really Im portant thing waa often the appar ently incidental ranked him aa a wise man. He clearly discerned be tween the essential and the non essential. ' Therein lies the explanation of his ,supreme Interest la ths Sunday school and In Sabbath observance. Lesser men than he could not un derstand why so great a man should giva right of wato religious activ ity. John Wanatnaker understood the fundamental charact-r of spirit ual thlnga.

I cite Mr. Wanamaker as a timely illustration of the aertouanesa to be attached to this new-old cjueattoir of Sabbath keeping, he perceived that a great and indispensable factor In the preservation of both country and Christianity. - Seeing beneath all. temporary phases of tha forms of Sabbath-keeping, he perceived that the preservation of tha holy day. di vinely aet apart far worship and for the cultivation of man's higher na ture.

It must hold an to the Lord's day. Without the Christian Sabbath there would be a decline of church and worship; and thence a gradual atrophy of the rellgloua characteris tics which have made us a distinct type of people, with a unique contri bution to history. ' So it Is not without significance that th first Sunday school leaaon of the new year deals with Jesus and the Sabbath, and puts squarely up to His present-nay disciples the ouestion of how the day may properly be kepL as Air. Wanamakera life points out. 1 the issue is no mere academic or 1 theological or ecclesiastical ono: It Jtaas the Snhbath-Brrakrr Bluntly, we do not want the sort of Sabbath those old Jews tried to make Jeaua keep. It is of startling signi ficance that the Master usually fig ures In connection with the day as a Rabbath-breaker! That Is to say, he violated the nmltiude of nixlled pro scriptions and prescriptions with which the dfc.tora of the law had orertatd a beautiful and beneficent provision of God for man's welfare.
