A PLEA FOR THE SABBATH.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep at
holy.
Six days shalt .thou labour, and do all
thy work;
But the seventh day is the Sabbath
of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not
do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy
maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy
stranger that is within thy galtes:
For in six days the T-iord made heaven
and earth, the sea, and all that in them
is, and rested the seventh, day; wherefore
the Lord blessed .the Sabbath day,
and hallowed ft.?Exodus 20:8-11.
If thou turn away thy foot from the
JOIN THE
THE FK?8BYT?Kli
Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on
my holy day; and call the Sabbath a
delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable;
and shall honour him, not doing
thine own ways, not finding thine own
pleasure, nor speaking Chine own
words:
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the
L<ord; and I will cause thee to ride
upon the high places of the earth, and
feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy
f<j thor (v\r th a T "V? r? *?V?
a.uivnv.1 1V1 UJX/UVU VI l?*c LA/1U ucutll
spoken it.?Isaiah 58:13-14.
Thus saitli the Lord: Ta"ke heed to "
yourselves, and bear no burden on the
Sabbath day, nor 'bivng it in by the
gates of Jerusalem;
Neither oarry forth a burden out of
your houses on the Sabbath day, neither
do ye any worii, but .hallow ye the Sabbath
day, as I commanded your fathers.
But If ye will not hearken unto me to
hallow the Sabbath day, and not to bear
a burden, even entering in at the gates
of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then
will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof,
and it shall devour the palaces of
Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.?Jeremiah
17:21-22, 27.
These plain teachings regarding the
sancbty of the Sabbath; God's blessing
upon those who observe It, and the evils
which follow the desecration of the Sab
bath should be emphasized anew in this
day, when the enemy is coming In like
a flood to destroy the Sabbath. The nations
which have kept the Sabbath God
has blessed and the nations which have
not kept the day holy, God has not
blessed. One may look around .today
and see how the Sabbath is being desecrated
in America.
The Sunday newspapers, excursions,
base-ball, social entertainments, unnecessary
business, automobiles, theaters,
travel on the Sabbath and manyother
things, are the influences and
agencies at work for the destruction of
this day of joy and gladness. Shall not
every true Christian, as he Views these
awful facts, do all he can to restore the
Sabbath day and keep it holy. Every
Christian may help.
1. By keeping the Sabbath holy yourself.
Dike Daniel of old, although surrounded
by heathenism, he purposed in
li's heart that he would not deftle himself
with the Kinigs meat. He stood,
facing death itself rather than compromise
with the devil. Dare to be
Daniel; dare to stand alone.
2. Pray that the Sabbath be kept
holy.
3. Use your influence, whether small
or great, both personal and public, in
every way, to secure tbe proper observance
of this day. -If yon have friends
who are being carried away by the mad
rusih of the day, apeak to them to draw
them 'back.
4. See that the existing laws are enforced,
in your own community, and If
laws are not. ad-equate do not stop unt.1
laws are passed by the State Legislature
and National Congress that are adequate.
Find out the laws that are now
pending. The International Reform
Bureau, "Washington, D. C., will give information
as to what shall be done.
Write to them and also to your representative
and ask for the passage of
these laws.
R. One of the most insidious and
powerful of the agencies at work to destroy
the Sabbath is the Sunday newspaper.
No true Christian can allow
this agency for evil to enter his home.
Pray daily and use yoirr Influence to do
away with this. Secure and give wide
circulation a tract, The Sunday Newspaper,

; secure literature from thex.
and distribute.
7. In short, do all in your power for
the protection of the Sabbath.
NOTES ON MEXICO.
There is probably no country whose
capital city is more splendidly located
than is the ancient capital of .Mexico. <
No doubt there is a deal of fiction in j
the story of the founding of the city by
the Ancient Aztecz, the site being in- i
dicated by the eagle sitting on the
cactus in the swamps with the serpent
in its talons, as had been foretold by
the gods, but it makes mighty interesting

very striking coat of arms, and reveals

that time groping in their darkness for 1
the Unseen, recognzed his hand in
their lives in an event so important as
the founding of their city. Time and
">ry have Justified the wisdom of
their c-hoice.
The city is situated not far from the
geographical center of the country in
the world famous Valley of Mexico. A
valley some twenty miles wide by thirty
long; a valley fertile and well watered
with suburban towns and country villas
clotted everywhere; a valley protected
on all sides by lofty mountains w.th
nearby Popocateptl looking down fnxn
its dizzy height of seventeen thousand
[eet as If standing guard over the his- '
toric capital.
This beautiful and naturally fortified
cajpital has been the goal of many since
Its romantic founding, making its history
tragic and sad. Cortez, in his ;
greed for gold begins the sad story by
overthrowing a remarkable civilization
and placing the yoke of an oppressive
state and of a superstitious religion on
the people. A long list of viceroys followed,
which added nothing .to the glorv
of Spain; since the gaining their independence
have made this city their j
goal; again Europe looked longingly to
the beautiful capital in the Western
world and set the ill-fated and deceived
MaxImilHan and Charlotta to occupy it.
