The sermon preached by Rev. I.
P. Cheney at the Baptist church at
Hamilton Sunday, “Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy” was
just such a sermon as our whole
country needs. I wish the church
could have been crowded to have
heard it. I think it ought to be re
peate.l . for r that 1 commandment .
soon,
k not impressed upon the hearts of
the people as it ought to be by the
pulpit. It ought to be the practice
of all when that day commences to
suspend all secular labor. “Six days
shalt thou labor and do all thy work,
but the seventh day is the Sabbath of
the Lord thy God.” We should be
ware how we make that day a day of
pleasure,and amusement. Our com
mon sense ought to teach
us that the Sabbath was
intended for a higher purpose. O, it
is enough to sicken one’s heart to see
the immoraities that are fostered by
the neglect and abuse of this day in
our own land and country.

Candidates are hobbling up every
where, from President to district
judges. I have been interrogated as
to whether I am a candidate or not.
Now, I would say to my friends that
I am not a candidate nor do I seek
any political preferment. I believe
the office should seek the man and
not the man the office. Blessed is
he that wants nothing, for he shall
be elected. Bachelor.
