tiiut the process has not succeeded

of this process claimed as their

could employ much more dilute
solutions than the Mac Arthur-For
rest process; but this argument
appt ars to have been used to make
a virtue of necessity, for, unless
an extremely dilute solution is
used, the rate of destruction of
cyanide by the electric current
makes the process t< o expensive.
With the extremely dilute solu

Mr. Bailey Cox created some
surprise at the Baptist church last
Saturlay by announcing lhat he
was satisfied that the Sunday ob
served is not the Sabbath set
apart and sanctified by the I-o’d.
As it is we observe the first day
of the week instead of the seventh,
which was the original Sabbath.
'There is no doubt that the sev
enth day was the day which the
Lord repeatedly commands us to
keep holy. However, to rid the
Church of the ceremonial and tra
ditional observances which had
become identified with I lie dav as
observed by the Jews a change of
day became necessary. In the 28th
chapter of Matthew, 1st verse, we
find this: “In the end of the Sab
bath as ii began to dawn toward
the first dav of the week came
Marv Magdalene and the other
Mary to see the sepulchre.” In
Romans, 14th chapter, 5th verse
is this passage, which gives Mr.
Cox oi anybody else the privilege
of observing anv one or all days
as the Sabbath if the conviction is
strong enough to authorize it.:
“One man esleemeth one day
above another; another esteemed h
every day alike. Let every man
be fully persuaded in his own
mind.”
According to the Jewish cus
tom and their strict observance of
the day, none of tit* in this gene
ration of woe keep the dav holy.
We think the day to,observe is the
one observed by a majority of the
Christian class, but if a man is
“fully persuaded in his own mind”
that some other tlay U the right
day, why, lie can observe that
day. Flagrant desecration of the
Sablnth has long cursed the North
ern and Western cities and of late
years its abominable claw is seen
in the South. Since wo observe no
day faithfully, it matters little
which of the seven is kept.
