Not to average more than a page of advertisements will be published in each number. Think of it—800 large quarto pages filled with the best of Biblical gospel matter, for only $1.50. Is it not worth the price? Would it not be a good investment for your home and that of your friend and neighbor? The Ultimate Penalty.—Says the Christian Statesman of December 8:— "The weakness of the Sabbath [Sunday] laws is their utterly inadequate penalty." But "the adequate penalty" for Sunday transgression will not stop short of death, for the men who are behind this Sunday-law movement, and especially the National Reform Association, for which the Christian Statesman speaks, are assuming to legislate for God, to enact God's laws in the State. But the transgression of God's law is sin, and the wages of sin is death. When men put themselves in the place of God, they will presume and attempt to do just what they believe that God ought to do were he in their place. They will increase the penalty, and will at last persuade themselves, as did the Jews of old, that it is better that one or more men shall die, that the nation perish not. For be it known that there will be those who will not regard the pagan Sunday, not for the purpose of defying law, but because they cannot conscientiously bow down to Baal. All this the "sure word of prophecy" points out. See Rev. 13: 11-18.
