Our old friend John Trice, genial,
hearty and true to his friends, though
they be the enemy of mankind, has
made one mistake, he has sold his
birthright of brains and blarney for a
mess of pottage. He is advocating an
extension and a perpetuation of the
liouor traffic, for pay.

the form of paid matter, though dis-

Whence the idea of rest? Is it
born of disinclination to exer-
tion V Is it the makeshift of
idlers ? No! Very far from that.
'Ine re t ioea is Oivir.e. Who first
ordained rest? God. Who first
served the ordinance of rest?
Ood. Who firsi nvl s this oidin-
ance and obsenance obligatory
on man? God. Who wrote the
first Sabbath law? God, amid
the terriflic splendjrs of Sinai
Tne rest idea is God's. It has
been wrought -into the fabric of v
nature. Arid Nature, true to it.
nature, observes periods of rest.

might mark them. And for man
it is just as natural to rest as it
is to be born, or to perform any
of the functions of life. And it
is ju-t as morally necessary for
man as it is natural.
This re.-t idea is human in its
In'virione.ss.
God in ordaining periods of res'
was not planning for Himself.
"The creator of the ends f the
earth fainteth not, neither is
weary." Hut He was thinking of
man. "He knoweth our frame;
He remernbereth that we are
dust." And the keeping of a Sab-
bath was made for man. It was
made for God's dumb creatures.
Even the little dumb ass is re-
r.-iembered in God's rest day law.
It was made for even insensate
yet ready to deliver things. .Metals, with a Sabbath
rest, wear better than without.
So the re t idea is not only hu-
manely, but economically, Divine.
The .seasons of rest are also of
Divine appointment. .Man, no.w
so prone to steal these seasons
