THE SABBATH.

By C. O. Taylor

[I do not send the following, which I clip from the Courier and Freeman, of Potsdam, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., for the truth as it respects the first day of the week, but for the sentiment in favor of the weekly rest. C. O. TAYLOR.]

Gladstone, the English statesman, says: “Believing in the authority of the Lord’s day as a religious institution, I must, as a matter of course, desire the recognition of that authority by others. But, over and above this, I have myself in the course of a laborious life signally experienced both its mental and its physical benefits. I can hardly overrate its value in this view; and for the interest of the working men of this country, alike in this and other yet higher respects, there is nothing I more anxiously desire than that they should more and more highly appreciate the Christian day of rest.”
