Very Singular.

By S. A. DOUD

ONE day, while conversing with a gentleman, the subject of the Sabbath was talked over. He argued the lost-time theory. Said it was impossible to tell which the true seventh day was, as time had been lost. Fell back on Josephus, as every one does who wants an excuse.
Conversation soon turned upon Free-masonism. He related several instances of their benevolent doings. Told us how worthy and time-honored the institution was; that they all met now on the same day they did when first organized; and that was in the days of king Solomon. Mr. D. inquired how they had managed to keep the time when so much had been lost. He made no reply.
Is it not very singular that time should be lost when the Lord’s Sabbath is inquired for, but all found straight when Free-masons meet?
