When men recall the message of the Christian Sabbath or Lord's day they will not desecrate the day or forget its ‘message of love contained in the cessation from labor and in their wor- ship of the Master. When we make the Lord’s day one of rest and worship and use its hours to learn more of God and try to do His will, we need not fear the desecration of the day or the abuse of its privileges. Those who love God will keep the day as it ought to be kept, free from labor, except acts of mercy and necessity, and devote its hours to the Lord's servics, resting from the activities of the daily life. Gradually |the day will bring to those who use it for God's glory life’s richest blessings and joys. Bible Questions Of the Day By Harlow R. Hoyt. JESUS AND THE SABBATH. Questions. 1. When and where were the Ten Commandments given to Moses? 2. How did this come to pass? 3. Under what circumsta ~es? 4. How were the commar ments re- celved? 5. Were they given to Mc ¢s a sec- ond time? 6. What was the Pharasa.c law in regard to the Sabbath? 7. How did this apply to the disciples plucking and eating the corn? 8. What was the attitude of Christ toward His critles? 9. How did He answer them? 10. What did He do to prove His point? Answers. 1. The Ten Commandments were given to Moses on Mount Sinai about 1498 B.C. 2. During the third month of the wanderings of the Israelites after flee- ing Egypt Jehovah proposed a covenant to Moses: If the Israelites obeyed His comandments they would become a race of priests and a holy nation. 3. Three days after his followers ac- cepted the covenant, Moses climbed to the top of Mount Sinai. There, amid thunder and lightning, Jehovah gave to him two stone tablets inscribed with | the Ten Commandments. 4. Moses remained on Mount Sinai for 40 days. Believing he had deserted them, the Israelites set up a_ golden calf, which they worshiped. Return- ing to find this condition, Moses cast down the tablets in his wrath and shattered them. 5. The commandments were given to Moses a second time. Forty days later, Jehovah having been pacified, Moses again ascended the mount. But this time Jehovah repeated the command- ments and Moses himself recorded them. 6. Bound by ceremony, convention, form and observance, the Pharisecs held that no work should be performed on the Sabbath and that no_person might be healed unless to save his life. 7. The law forbade reaping. Picking grain by hand was held to be reaping. Threshing was forbidden; rubbing ker- nels in the hands was held to be threshing. So was walking through the grain, since the feet threshed it out. 8. Christ looked with contempt upon the bigotry and restrictions which had changed the Sabbath to a day when any little act was a violation of the law. 9. When the Pharisees complained that the disciples broke the law Christ pointed out how David ate the sacred bread of the tabernacle, against the law; and that the priest: by the necessary duties in the temple, performed acts specifically forbidden. e Sabbath was made for man,” He declared. 10. By healing the man with a withered hand. There was no haste in healing the man, since he had been affiicted for years and it was not a matter of life or death. By healing him Christ broke the law to perform a good deed. “THE PLOUGHMAN.” Morning Subject. At the Sixth Presbyterian Church Rev. Godfrey Chobot will preach on “The Ploughman,” tomorrow morning. In the afternoon the every-member canvass will be conducted by the men of the church. The Christian Endeavor Soclety will meet at 7 o'clock and the topic for discussion will be, “How the Church Helps Us to Live the Chris- tian Life.” Rev. W E. La Rue's Slibjects.

For it was constructed by the great Rameses II, builder of many mighty monuments, about 1,300 years before the birth of Christ, and carved out of a rocky pro- montory which juts out into the Nile from the west bank 174 miles south of the first cataract. The two gigantic statues that guard of the doorway, each 65 feet , are, as usual, portraits of , while high above them the front is completed by a cornice of 21 dog-headed apes 100 fect wide and reaching 90 feet above the rocky ground. Over the entrance is a figure of the hawk-headed god Horus, but the temple is dedicated to the great sun god of Egypt, Amen-Ra, and was S0 Simbel, Nubia, Egypt colossi are portrait statues of various | members of the family of Rameses, in- cluding his wife, son and two daughters. On the legs of the colossus at the ex- treme left are inscriptions scratched by foreign soldiers in the Egyptian army during the reign of King Psamtik, about 600 BC. One of these, in Greek, is of great interest, being among ‘the carliest specimens of Greek writing | known to us. | Two great halls, out of which open | | eight smaller chambers, and ths holy | | of hoties, form the interior of the tem- | | ple, which measures 180 feet at its | greatest length. ‘The roof of the vesti- | | bul hall is supported by eight colored | | statues of Rameses, with the emblems | | of the god Ostris.

From them and other compe- shared the cruel fate which frequently fell upon their husbands and upon oth- | ers than themselves more dear. Q. Do you not think that the separa- tion of church and state is the best possible arrangement and makes for their mutual good? A. Yes, provided the carrying out of the compact respects the rights of both in- stitutions. There have been attempts on the part of each to trespass on the other’s domain, and such encroachments have reduced the freedom of the in- vaded groups to a subserviency which was disastrous. Politicians who under partisan exigencles elect themselves as dictators to the pulpit are quite as rep- rehensible as pulpiteers who pollute their sanctuaries with party harrangues. Both breeds could be abolished with much profit for zll concerned. ‘When, however, the doctrine of church and state separation is so in- terpreted and applied as to secularize national education, it is injuriously ex- tended.
