Tis is one of tem and tere is some diversity of opinion and pra~tice upon it. t must be desirable to every conscientious Sabbat-keeper to ave a proper course plainly set before im so tat e can see wat e ougt to do. [t is wit te intention of assisting in tis desirable conclusion tat tis article is written. Te design of te Sabbat commandment is to secure a day of rest every week as a memorial of Gods creative work, in wic te mind may contemplate sacr~d. tings and engage in te worsip of te d1vlne Autor. of our ~eing, and te body may res~ from pys1callabor m consistent wit suc des1gn. Te sevent day of t.e week e selected and appointed for tis purpose, and no oter day; works of religion.and mercy are exceptions, and. are permitted by te law and by our Saviours teacing. But works merely involving pecuniary advantage to ourselves are not only not permitted, but are expressly forbidden. Were te life or suffering of man or beast is involved, we are to lubor even on te Sabbat, to alleviate te one, and save te oter. But tere are certainly no exceptions made in te Bible in favor of laboring merely for pecuniary advantage. Our orses and cattle sould be fed and watered. Tey will suffer witout. Our teams may be arnessed and we may drive tem to meeti?g. We c~ul.d not well meet to worsip God w1tout. T1s S not " our work" iu te sense of te commandment. But we may not itc up our tea.m and aul in a load of ay lest a sower commg up would spoil it....

WE reaced ome from Kentucky in safety yesterday, aving ad a prosperous journey of tree days. Our primary object in going to Kentucky was to follow up an interest started tere by Bro. J. B. Brown, of California, and to enjoy a milder climate during te winter season. Upon te wole t.ink tat my stay in Kentucky was a bfnefit to me ealt wise, ao avoided a long cold winter. Yet te world affords no better climate tan our Vermont climate in summer; and tis morning we enjoy te bracing air of old Vermont wit unusual pleasure, as we find ourselves pleasantly situated among our old friends again, wo do all tey can to make us comfortable. As we look over te past we can say, Truly goodness and mercy ave followed us all our days. Praise te Lord for all is benefits. We tink our going to Kentucky was timely to elp some wo were giving up te trut troug discouragement and for want of toroug effort, to elp te few wo ad started out to meet unexpected trials, and to exert a furter influence in favor of te trut. We labored some at tree different points, giving sixty-five lectures, selling $34.64 wort of books and tracts, and giving away $19.00 wort, and forming many pleasant acquaintances. Wit te few wo ave embraced te Sabbat at Locust Grove, tere are now eleven in all keeping te Sabbat. One as gone to ndiana. We sall remember Kentucky and pray tat te Sabbat-keepers in Hardin Uounty may remain faitful, and serve as a nucleus for a good company of believers in teir part of te State..May none of tem samefully tum away from e trut for oters to be ligt- bearers in teir stead, and wear te crowns tey migt ave worn. On our way ome, we stopped at Colesburg, at Dr. Horace Coombs,son(lfDr. W. F. Coombs. Wile tere, te following sad accident occurred. At midnigt te Doctor was called up to attend o te case of a nigt operator, son of te sixt auditor of te Treausury Department at Wasington, wo got run over by a freigt car. Tis accident proved fatal. Te man lived tree ours, suffering intensely, and requesting te bystanders to soot im troug te ead. He died witout ope, cursing and swearing. As e was taken into te depot, is blood flowed on one of our trunks, leaving stains tat made strong impressions on our minds. Truly deat was near, and Go.d in mercy ad spared us, a.nd tere was ope m our case. How many like tis man tink only of tis life and do not realize te sad fate tat awaits t~m at last, unless ey repent. May God elp us to faitfully warn our fellow-men of te solemn scenes tat are coming on te eart, wen tere will not be a ray of ope to te sinner. We expect to commence tent operations witin two weeks.

Anatema. -Sel. N te Dictionary of te Bible for general use by te American Tract Society we ave te following definitions of te word Anatema:- "A curse, a ban; it signifies properly someting set apart, separated, devoted. t is understood principally to denote te absolute, irrevocable, and entire separation of a person from te communion of te faitful, or from te number of te living, or from te privileges of society; or te devoting of any man, animal, city, or tirig, to be extirpated, destroyed, consumed, and, as it were, anniilated,.. ev. 27. Tus Jerico, Jos. 6:17-21, and Acan were accursed, Jos. 7. " Anoter kind of Anatema very peculiarly expressed occurs in 1 Cor. 16:22, f any man love not te Lord Jesus Crist, let im be Anatema, Maranata. Tis last worrl is made up of two Syriac words signifying, Te Lord comet, tat is, te Lord will surely come and execute tis curse, by condemning tose wo love im not. At te same time te opposite is also implied, tat is, te Lord comet also to reward tose wo love im." According to te above definitions and remarks, 1 Cor. 16:22 would read someting like tis : Te Lord comet, to curse, or to make an absolute, irrevocable~ and entire separation from te number of te living, and to extirpate, destroy, consume, and anniilate tose wo love not te Lord Jesus Crist, and to reward tose wo love im."

THOSE wo suppose tat nfidelity is a nega tive system, and ready to fold its ands and live at peace if it can only persuade Cristians to cease teir effiorts to bring te world under te influence of Gods law, possibly may ave teir eyes opened by te following from te ndex, a paper condb.cted wit no mean ability in te interests of nfidelity, and publised in Toledo, Oio: " We assume no defensive attitude. We are for carrying te war into Africa. We sould spurn te proposal to leave tings as tey are, on condition tat tis Cristian Amendment agitation sould cease. No! We ave demands to make. " Te agitation tey depend on as a means of preserving te "Cristian observances" wic still deface te practical administration of tis non Cristian government, will ultimately lead to teir total abolition. Let tem agitate. Te struggle between Cristianity and secular freedom for te control of tis country is inevitable, and will only be astened by agitation.

Will tey succeed in teir efforts? We ope not; and yet suc is te apaty of te great body of Cristian people on tis subject, tat we are not witout our fears. Not only is tere apaty among tose wo ougt to be foremost in standing up for te autority of Gods law, but tere is opposition to doing so on te ground tat it provokes opposition. Suc persons do not believe in te Saviours principle : " came not to send peace on eart, but a sword;" i. e., My principles are positive, and will excite opposition, but tey must be proclaimed. Te result of all tis is tat nfidelity is making wondeful progress in molding te caracter of our people and canging our customs. As an example, we ave in many cities, our own city of Cincinnati included, public libraries, and reading rooms, open on te Sabbat, and te next annual exibition of te National Academy of Design in New York City is to be open to visitors on Sabbat, at te reduced rate of fifty cents. And if fine pictures are to be exibited on Sabbat for te gratification of te lovers of art, on te same principle we will ave te teaters open to gratify te lovers of te drama. And as anoter example of progress in tat line, we may add tat tere is now a bill before te Legislature of Oio, remodeling te system of our common scools, in wic te question of reading te Bible is purposely excluded. During its consideration an amendment to te effect tat teacers migt read te Bible if tey cose at te opening of te scools was voted down. Te effect of tis is to leave te matter entirely in te ands of te local Boards of Education, and our experience is, tat te friends of te Bible not being on tbe alert, as are its enemies, te Bible will, wit te adoption of tis bill, cease to be read as a book of devotion in all our scools.-olistian Press..\.l: ~bituary llleesed are te <lead wic die n te Lord from encefort n~;~: ;t s ~ t~ j3;i;i~; N: -y:; i\i~;:- 4~ is72; after an illness of nearly tree weeks, Bro.
