When the French .’ -- sembly undertook to rearrange all the rs of government they vielded to heir spirit of hatred to the clergy and the church so far as to include in it everything religious, and among other reformat acts so called they abol- ished the Sabbath. They made a new arrangement of time, and realizing that man must have some rest and change, they appointed each tenth s a day of rest and festivity. stood for a time, but not long: ment It is unfort yir is its in some on shortly they came back to the old ar- rangement and replaced the Sabbath in the calendar. That ciated the ; Sabbath rightly appre- help to public order is the censequences of its Those who have a con- with regard to it are liable to have one in all other matters. When the French Assembly had taken the step mentioned above Zachary M the father of the famou had with infinite labor planted a colony on the coast of Africa; it was perous, orderly and the peo- ple were happy and contented. One day a French frigate appeared in the ; the officers and men came hore and began carousing about the town and tearing things to pieces; Macaulay remonstrated with the and reminded them that it was a Sabbath; the officers exclaimed: “Don’t you know that the Assembly has abolished the Sabbath?” and they tore his town to pieces. No matter how strict or how apparently dog- matic they may be who keep the Sab- bath, it is generally conceded that if by trey are conseientious about it they are honest :nd sincere in other mat- ters. It has a definite influence on the whole life. When William E. Dodge was talking in the board of di- rectors of one of the Eastern rail- roads and they were arguing the ques- tion of Sunday traffic he said: “Gen- tlemen, if vou compel your employes to break the fourth commandant they will soon learn to break the eighth.” WHAT THE DAY MEANo. of the institutions of civilization, of great antiquity, associated h the moral fiber of the races that have it certainly seems to thought and to be worth some sort of observance. We y!d to bear in mind the fact that e are a people of diverse training, different ideals and varying practices. We are to be most charitable to one another; no one of us has the right to decide how another shall observe in an article like this we can attempt to show what the day stands for and what can be accom- plished by it. The word means a break in the order of work, it marks a pause in the business of life; we are all pretty well agreed that we shall be the better for leaving off the work that has taken =all our time and strength for the past six days, and by doing something different; it is to be made as unlike as possible to the days that have preceded and those that will follow it. <Rest is not necessarily idle- ness; to the one who has been exer- cising the muscles violently rest wiil be the relaxation to the muscles and the exercise of the mental faculties; to the tired brain worker the most violent of physical exercise may be the best rest. One of the ablest and best ministers who ever lived had a load of sand in his cellar, and when he came home from church on Sun- day, his brain fagged and his nerves ali afire, he went down and shoveled that load of sand about; it was a day when the consciences of the members of his congregation were sure to be as active for him as for themselves; made use of it merit our careful prepared him for the other services of the day. In these times he might shovel all he pleased on Sunday, and very few would take any account of his aets. The craving for a complete change from the other days is lead- ing thousands out into the flelds and over the mountain sides each Sabbath. The great question for each one to decide is whether what they are doing really rests them and prepares them for the next day's work. Because of this pra e and the things that often are attendant upon it it is true that many working people are rendered utterly unfit for their daily toil; while we have no right to legislate or to be conscience for them we do have the right to ask if they are really bene- fiting themselves. The foremen of factories and those who employ large numbers of men tell us how they dread Monday morning, \so many of their employes have so used the Sab- bath that they are of no use until Tuesday or even Wednesda; such a use of the Sabbath as cuts off a man's earnings for one or two days of every week cannot be called rest to him or any one else. EIGHER FACULTY NEGLECTED. There is another side to man’s na- ture, a higher facuity, that often gets neglected in the work of life. A great ironworker, a successful man, who heard Ole Bull play his violin in his factory, admitted that he had lost something out of his life; he had been so eager and devoted to his reg- ular business that he had neglected the finer qualities of his nature, and a consciousness of it. Another man, a great pork packer, was approached by a friend with regard to a mission enterprise, and he remarked, “I don't know anything about missions, I know all about pork.” It is well that a man should put his whole heart into what he is doing, but it is rather a humili- ating admission to make that he knogs only iron, ,or v all about pork). There is something in every humanp being that calls for finer food than ‘that, and cannot be satisfied merely on tHese things. There are times when the most debased or the coarsest nature is conscious that thers i= 2 realm about him in the air and the sky, and that he cannot appre- ciate it. In George Eliot's Romola the old Greek, Baldasarre, is shedding tears because he knows he could once read the létters on the page before him, and the power is gone. To mahy of us at times there comes the fact that we once had a purity of heart. a power of appreciating the beautiful and the good. and that we have lost it Right here is a chance for Sabbath rest that will restore what has been lost; man needs to remember that he had a Creator; by special enactment the French Assembly declared its be- lief in a Supreme Being. We do not need such an enactment; we all be- lieve in a creator; we need sometimes 1o stop and think about him. We may do it in the fields, or when meditating on his works in nature; we may do it better where many are gathered to- gether who believe as we do, and where in song and prayer and other exercises we are toned up spiritually till we can do our best. s’ schedule. the human need was too great, and We have the Sabbath then, a part but it was exactly what he needed and the chords of that violin woke him to .

These lists ver almost every known subject from the {llustrated pages of ““Mother Goose™ » those which invite attention to new editions of “Sophocles and Aristotle.” It is Qifficult to see how the reading public can do without such aids. The @verage general reader has little sur- plue time which he can spare for dis- covering those volumes he wants. And with the enormous annual output of books, o rapidly increasing each year, €ven librarians find it impossible to bibliographies. Of the numerous lists of books and bulletins of publications which have been published for popular use mention may be made of 2 number which will be found particularly helpful. With the exception of those whose price is stated a single copy can probably be had of any of these lists by request and in- closure of a postage stamp. The Nebraska Public Library Com- mision has just issued a unique list of ninety books suitable for presents for children. Most of them are for very little people under 10 years of age and embrace picture and verse, illustrated BOOES FOR CHILDREN. . The public library of Newark, N.

Its direct educational influence is pow- erful through its reading and reference rooms and circulation of books from the main library and its six branches. Beyond these regular functions the monthly bulletins published by the li- brary are becoming valuable alike to the city and the whole State. In addi- tion to giving the titles or all new ac- cessions to the library almost every number of the bulletin contains lists of its volumes on different subjects. These enable students of special topics to re- alize at 2 glance the library’s resources. Some of the subjects thus catalogued are of vital importance to the material interests of California. For instance, acters of the world but also including volumes of the life-stories of many men and women of recent times, with whom it is delightful to come into ®e- lation. It is ably annotated.

Organized in 1895 under a bequest from John Crerar, now amounting to $4,000,000, its trustees decided that it should be con- stituted. strictly a reference library, largely of practical and applied science. No books are circulated. It now has 100,000 volumes, many of them being costly ones, and during the last year has had a daily average of 244 visitors. ready beyond estimate. The latest of this library’s publications is a cata- logue of its books on industrial arts. It was prepared at the request of the Industrial Art League of Chicago, which is distributing copies among those workers who will be most bene- fited by such knowledge, already with excellent results. This catalogue is a book of 250 pages and covers neariy 1500 titles on works on bookbinding, sculpture, decorative arts, painting. en- graving and photography.
