AU CHRUX1AN8 RESPONSIBLE f PUR HAMATH DESECRATION I ». (By Era. Krneet F. Tanj.) Aa Christinas w* accept tha Bible i aa Wed's Ward, and tha law given oc ■ SiMi, aa atUl Wading, both co Na- i tiens and individual* and wa read V therein such word* ai tkm: “Bo- < member the Sabbath Day to keep it l help. 81a days ahalt thou labor and' I do all thy work; bat tha seventh day t la the Sabbath et the Lord thy God; t tat it then Shalt not do coy work,1 ; Uuro no* toy sen nor thy daughter, I thy man servant, nor thy main err- i var*. rcr thy cattle, nor thy Strang- . et that is within thy gates. For in! I sir days tha Lead made Leulcn and' i earth, the sea and all that in them: < Is. sad rested the seventh day: < Wherefore the Lord Messed the Sab-' i bath day. and hallowed it.” Wo al ee read the words of the prophet Isaiah: “The nation and kingdom that will not serve the* shall periek.” Yet, oa every aide we hear on the Sabbath day, the whistle of trams, the cry of the news-boy, tv* lh» crowded street corner*. Poet OfBces and depots, aad we ask how shall this evil be stayed? The object of law ia to protect our rights, and this the common law does, by r*-l ‘(Hiring that only works of necessity end mercy shall b* don* oa the Sab bath. Wo ail knew how this pro vision has boon stretched to cover whatever the selfishness of man cc vtrest The public conscience, (by' which l mean the majority of iadi-, vidual consciences) has become de moralised. Public aad private busi-J more allowed to encroach open the I Lord'* Day, and if this continues,! to increase, the law will become a dead letter, the Sabbath a national holiday, and then » work day, and «ril» Innumerable will follow in iU train. Wo must go down deeper than civil laws to give us a real Sun day. Civil lavra are good, just as the feathers and shin of a canary are good, but to really get the music! you mast hare the live bird in the skin, and to really find in Sunday what the Lord designed for us, wo must have a live sens* of its vain*. Our better customs for the observ ance of the Sahhath await our deep er conviction* of the worth of that day. One of the moat discouraging features which hinder Sabbath re form, is the too commas Indifference of Christ!sn people, and the acgol -cenc* he the present state ef thing* Few Christie** openly ap prove Be Wheat desecration, but ma ny say the Sunday paper has come to stop, the railroad tradfc will go **. the Sunday mails saoat be car ried. “Tito people ato set on mis ^sMsffj^gnd go^might^n*^well taka lar baatoeas, sines the trght is ru aing, whether ere go er not, and wo •night as well road the Sunday pa per when it in printed. “What is the nee of Christian people incurr ing the odium of the world by strut ting against the inevitable.

Does anyone think Sunday newspaper is emptying the cburchc* 7 Complaint comet from city and: roe*try alike: “People do not at tend church as they used to do." In looking around for the reason, the Sunday newspaper is given gmalj prominence among the many reasons] assigned. Thor* is no doubt it is a' urge meter in kmping people from' church, (especially the gentlemen <rf the congregation.) Let a man aeat hhBeelf in dressing gown ami dip per*, with a sixteen-peg* paper be-, feta him, and ho i* eery liable to bo-' come ao absorbed that he doei not' notice the flight of time, and when the church bell rings, thinks it h>| too lato to got ready, or he is ia the midst of an intonating article, and1 ha doea not wish to lay it aside.: Than, too, tho man who has spent his morning in reading the ncwspa-l per is not ia Jost the mood for church. HU mind is filUH with toe-j “••r things. If he has been reading the such reports, or of bargains Iq. real estate, or ia his particular busi ness, er of rho political situaUoa, his mind is filled with those thing*, aad ha wishes to sit quietly aad think them out.

When yen lonsider how those men, from foer of lowng their places, am compelled to do this labor (much of which is totally nnnocseaary) it becomes a monstrous wrong against tho reli gion ami family rights of theoo em ployer."

Wa bavc loosed from our moorings, and are drifting,—d r i-f-H-n g—Whith er are wa drifting? Plainly into a steady increase of secular pursuits on Sunday, till we shall have aatther a civil nor religious Sabbath. It has reached the poiat that Sun day afternoon in our town la more nice s picnic occasion than tha Holy Sob both. It is time for us who are trying to do His will to waka upl Nothing can save our Sabbath, but the united efforts of Christians. Closing our eyes, and discraditing oar earn, but increases tha peril Every man and women who prnfma •■'to be a -Christian, most take an oar and stem tha current. To yua, individually I appeal. Are you a patriot? You sorely desire to pre serve the Christian Sabbath. Are you a Christian? The orders are "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy.” Will you stand by the Sabbath, rhe whole Sabbath? God uever compromises with sin, nor would we. Compromise with principle is trea son. Sir Walter 8cott say.-., the world one half of Sunday, and you will find that Religion has no strong hold on the ether half.” Let so each resolve that w* will “kaep the Sabbath Day holy.” by so do ing. »•* shall with hrm and steady stroke turn back, and save our Good Ship of State from the breakers, and bequeath to our children the beat of all legacies, a redeemed and Chris tian country. “blessed is the man that keepeth the Sabbath.” KNUAtitMENT ANNOUNCED Bole’s Creek, May 16—On* of the prettiest social events of the ssasrrsi anti one of interest to the many friends of the young lady, through out the State, was an aimooneaaaoat party given by Prof. and Mrs. B.
