Union College Calendar Ready.—The Union College Calendar is now being mailed. There was some delay in getting it out on account of its size. It makes a book of two hundred and thirty pages and is the most complete description of the work of Union College ever published. It has been almost entirely rewritten. The historical sketch contains new and valuable information. Full descriptions with courses of study are given of the departments of the college, the academy, the ministerial course, the preparatory medical course, the business course, the shorthand course, the German department, the Swedish department, the Danish-Norwegian department, the normal school, the school of music. All who are interested in these departments and desire a copy of the calendar, address at once the president, C. C. Lewis, College View, Neb.
The Sabbath of the Lord can not be destroyed by men any more than can Christ, its Author. It may be ridiculed, rejected, trampled upon, crucified between two thieves, and the devil and his allies may rejoice as it seemingly perishes and is buried under the rubbish of tradition, locked in its creed-bound tomb with papal keys; but it has in it
the power of an endless life.
It does not need human laws to revive it, guard it, or keep it from desecration. It is above man's power. Its foundation is God's eternal throne.
O come, let us sing unto the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
