Congress, following one of the most
acrimonious debates in it history.
appropriated $30,000 for the
coo-
8 traction of the Washinajton-Batlanore
line in order that the merits of the
Invention might be tested and its
value as a government perquisite
determined should it ever be regard
el as a desirable Federal purchase.
Dismissing the proposition as of
tx conjectural a value, the Post
master General, to whose Judgment
.resident Polk deferred, said of the
lorae system:
"Although the invention is an
gent vas.lv superior to any other

tin operation between Washington an
jaWimore has not satisfied me that
under any rate of postage that can

to cover its expenditures."

EXODUS XX: S-11.
(By Rev. Bertram E. Brows.)
This Is the fourth of the ten com
mandments given by Jehovah ha Me
sea on Mt. Sinai.
In two particulars this law hag;
been amended by Christ and His
Church.
1. When Jesus avowed bU Apos
tles to gather grain for food on ths
Sabbath day, and when Hs HbnaehT
did works of healing on that day. He
absolved us from the obligation to
obey the strict letter of the law
which forbade all manner of work. Bo
Christian people, following the Mas
ter's precept and example. hold
themselves at liberty now to do
works of necessity and mercy on the
Lord's day. soch ss preparing food.
selling and buying drugs, ttsndlmg
to the sick, and also such things as
m xl ra conditions render neceawan-
running trains, distributing mails
and the like.
2. The Christian Church. set
mg under the authority of the Holy
Spirk who inspired K. -Kjngsd the
day from the seventh to the first.
from Saturday to Sunday. In honor
of the day upon which the Saviour
rose from the dead. The OoosmanO'
ment thus amended, is binding to
all ChrisJan oeonLe as one of the
laws of God.
Before going Into the matter of
keying the law as k applies to the
Lord's day. let us consider a clause
of the Commandment that has re-
cefved far lees attention than it
deserves that Is. the command "Sis
days shalt thru labor." That direc
tion Is quite as definite and posi
th-e as the other concerning the
Sabbath, "lu x thou shalt do no man
ner of work." Yet we have all beard
ten times a much about tbc sin of
working ou the Sabbath as we have
about the sin of NOT
Monday aad Tuesday. R u
notions so much better to talk a
bout the doty of not working than the
duty of working, but Gods law Is
Just as sinfully broken and God Just
as much offended If you spend s
week-day in Idle, lazy worthless aeas.
as if you spend a Sunday In plow
ing or selling goods.
Now. let us see about the proper
obedience to God's law as to H
holy day
First, we certainly are com
to rest on it from our worldly
it ought to be enough tor us to
obey this because God tells as to do
so. but He Is always reasonable and
teUs us why we ought to rest. He
says we should rest beennaa He
rests. We were made In His unngn.
and our best life therefore consists
In doing as nearly like He does as
we can. In one sense God never
rests, for all things exist by the
ceaseless operation of His will. Bet
In another sense He does rest af
ter Has labour. For Instance, la His
world of organic nature, we ana HJn
aotr-vky of Spring and Summer and
Autumn, when all things, throbbing
with His energy, grow and bring
forth fraft and ripen k. followed by
the rest of Winter, when His
or Mas dormant wasting tor She work

K a certain sense, man can
, neTer re0 for him bean namt
and hie longs must urea the and nev
er for one moment stop, nor do the
thoughts of his mind even
an another seaae man m
from his labours, must cense has toil
or break down and die. So God
says 1st your rest-time come one
day in seven, for you and your chx
dren and our errant and
; cattle that between whiles too
may
do your labour wntt.
The practical wisdom of the sev
enth day as one of rest has been
proven by actaal experience. The
Government of France during the
Revolution ordained every tenth day
instead of every seventh .as a rest

t3B. from the laboriag classes reread

daya continuous labour proved in
intolerable burden for man
beast.
Secondly, we are commanded
and
only to rest on the Sabbath
day.
