Babylon.

By J. CLARKE

WORKING MAN. I think I heard you say in your sermon last Sunday that Christ died because God's law was unchangeable, and rather than that the law of God be broken, Christ must die, and thus satisfy the law, thus reconcile man to God, that God might be just, though he save the sinner.

PREACHER. That was the substance of my remarks on that point, and it is I believe sound doctrine, confirmed by the word of God.

W. M. Why then do you not keep the day set apart by God at the close of creation week, the seventh day, confirmed on Sinai, and by the prophets, and even endorsed by the New Testament writers?

P. O that was the Jewish Sabbath. There has been a change made of the Sabbath, from the seventh to the first day, or from the Jewish to the christian Sabbath. J. CLARKE.
