Spring Church Y. M. C. Association.
THIS society held a meeting on the night of Thursday, the 18th ult., there being a fair attendance of members and friends, the Rev. J. Fordyce presiding. The theme for the evening's consideration was the “Fourth Commandment,” Mr. G. Molyneux reading an essay which displayed careful research and study of the subject. The author traced the origin of the Sabbath, showing its historical vicissitudes, and the abuses which have prevailed in connection with the day. He strongly maintained that the seventh day of the week is the real Sabbath of God, and that there has been no sufficient command or authority for changing it to the first day of the week. An interesting discussion followed the reading of the paper. The society holds its next meeting on Thursday evening, the 1st prox., when Mr. K. V. Osmond will read a paper on the deluge.—Grimsby (Eng.) News.
