The Christian Intelligencer, one
of the leading denominations t
papers of the United States, in
commenting on the observance of
the Sunday laws, often speaks of
that day as the “ Lord’s day. ’ This
shows a clearer conception of the
Bible teaching on that subject, and
is quite an advance in the right
direction. Let the light shine.

Doubtless most people have been
admiring the comet now visible in
the western heavens during the
beautiful clear nights, and have
been benefitted by such observation.
Its movements fitly illustrate some
'Christians who when they first
make their appearance in the
church give out much light arid
attract mucfi attention for the time
being; but lo, and behold, they
soon disappear, and you do not
know whither they went. What
we most need in our churches is a
more steady and permanent work.
The New York Independent
prints this advertisement as having
first appeared in a Belgium paper:
“A young woman, aged 20, healthy
and good looking, holding a govern­
ment employment, is desirous of
marrying a young man who is able
to fulfill the duties of a housekeeper.

right kind. We should be glad if
about a quarter of fchetfe had rv*-
mained at home. We are filling up
rapidly enough—too rapidly of the
crime-producing element.—
A brother and a minister of the
gospel askes this question -: "’Is it
gambling to accept a ticket in a
lottery or raffling scheme and draw
a prize with it ? Is thqf. e any dif­
ference between that a nd winning
money at a game of -cards ?” We
__
think the principle is about the
same. This prise bu siness is be-
coming altogether too common, and
that too among soj ne professed
Christians. It is surprising to see
what crude conceptions some Chris­
tian people have of the true Spirit
of Christianity. ~ We have never
been able to see. any good in the
lottery or raffling schemes, and we
believe no Christian 1 can patronize
them without a great sacrifice to his
spirituality. The people of God are
a peculiar people and it is always
best for them to shun the very ap­
pearance of evil. The evil of gamb­
ling can not be located either in the
lottery scheme or at the card table.
An able exchange in speaking of
the habit of women in offering wine
to their guests, says : " The habit is
less general than it was, and is ut­
terly demoralizing and abominable.
Who have to suffer most from the
curse of drink ? Women. That
\usbands may have their brutish
njoyment, wives must weep and
aarve and die. The woman who
erupts young men to drink wine
rom a silver tray is buying rags

rater’s daughters. She may not
nean it, she cannot mean it; but
>he is a traitor to her sex and an
jnemy to our common humanity.
