King preached; a strong and interesting sermon on I the subject of Sabbath desecration. He first gave the Bible as authority for the observance of the first day of the week, instead of the I as the Lord's day, and showed by, passages therefrom that the early j disciples began the observance j the first day of week directly after the resurrection of Jesus, and that He sanctioned such observance by appearing in their midst while they were assembler on day. Proof of the observance of first day of the week could also be had from early Christian writers. Mr. King then spoke of various ways in which Sabbath is and forcibly for a stricter observance of the day. He the nation that disregards the sanctity of the Sabbath and crates the day will degenerate in national life. Just so will the Christian who desecrates the day decline in spiritual life and power. The Christian who keens the Sabbath and is a regular at- upon the house of worship is one who will most rapidly show Christian character in hi.- daily life. At no period of the world was the more need- ed than now. We need it as a day of memorial of the creation; we need it as a day of rest, we need it as a day for worship of AI God. J. J.
