One trouble witi the world today 1s there are too many kinds of Christians in it when the Gospel recognizes only one variety. The true Christian is the do-as-you- ‘would-be-done-by Christian, anvd it doesn't make any difference what kind of a denominational label he wcars he ‘belongs to the universal brotherhood. No other stripe can cver gain acmis- | sion because there is but one door and it is for those who in honoring the Golden rule have honored themselves. There are professedly Chrisiian de- nominations in which good fellowship is never allowed to express itself— they do not seem to know they are all of one hlood and belong to God's fam- ily. They sit close to the altar to- gether without being able to realize that to be right they must be true brethren and sisters. gasped out that three men, badly wounded by wreckage, remained on board.

Q—Please give the Scripture evi- dence for the statement that the sev- enth creative “day” is a period of 7,000 years (Questioner.) Harmonize with the fourth commandment. (R. M.) ~The evidence 7,000 years is “God rested (from His work of Ansyw Secriptural clear. creation) on the seventh day.” When alm xcv was n God was still nor change take: place when the Epistle to the Hebre was written, for there (ch. iv.) is held out to the Church the offer of sharing in God's rest. Even when the King dom of Heaven is established God's rest continues, for the work of the Kingdom is committed into the hands of the Son. At the close of that reign of 1,000 years (Rev. xx) the Son will | deliver up the Kingdom to the Father, | “that' God may be all in all” Since | there are about 6,000 vears from the creation to the second coming of | Christ, and 1,000 years of Christ's Presence, it follows that God's day of | rest is about 7,000 years long. Dur- ing this long “day” God has mot been | entirely idle, but has done such Sab- bath day works as have in His wisdom | been deemed works of necessity, The worls of restoring the human race | from its degradation—during the last pert of that day will also be Sabbath work. Like the ox or ass, it has fallen into a pit, and God has made provision | for its restoration. | The fourth commandment does not | say that God worked six days of twen- ~four hours and then rested another | twenty-four, The Jewish Sabbath and | its system of Sabbaths are types of | the greater Sabbath—the heavenly, Chester.—Visitors from up the river were in town the other day looking over the house and factory built by Clarence Watrous in the western part of the town. ] Almost Lost His Life.
