Sabbath Work and the Horse

Is it right to let a horse for any length of time to work on the Sabbath, if he is taken off the premises? C. G. C.

We think that the Sabbath commandment forbids our children, our servants, or our cattle, from working on that day, whether within or without our gates; but the stranger we can control only when he is on our premises.

The Youth's Instructor, Semi-Monthly.

By James White

The children should receive their excellent little paper as often as once in two weeks, and they can as well as not if all will pay fifty cents a year. The editor is devoted to the proper education of the young, and their salvation, more than any other man we have met. God has raised him up for this work, and we urge all to co-operate with him in it.

The Instructor will be issued semi-monthly. And we have no doubt but this will receive the hearty approval of its patrons, and all who take an interest in the young. The first number of the next volume will be mailed in a few days.

We must see the circulation of this paper increased. Friends, subscribe for it, if you have not already, and also send it to your young friends everywhere. Send to this Office the names and address of your young friends, and 50 cts. for each, and we will send them 24 numbers of the Youth's Instructor.

The Instructor will contain Sabbath School lessons in each number of great value; and each child should have a copy. Brethren, let your subscriptions come in promptly and liberally. JAMES WHITE,

Note from Bro. Matteson.

By John Matteson

I STILL continue meetings in this place. The interest has been much impeded by sickness and deaths. One week there were seven funerals. Fever and ague is very common in this country. Likewise scarlet fever and diphtheria. The weather is very changeable, yet mild compared to many other places.

There has also been a strong influence against us by the United Brethren. Yet some are in favor of the truth. But people here seem to be slow to move. When they are convinced, they say: “We are going to investigate these things by-and-by.” So they seem to take everything easy. It seems to be the natural effect of a warm climate. The U. B. are now going to hold protracted meetings to get me out of the house, which I trust will be a help to stir up a greater interest. May the Lord direct and save.

THE POWER OF GOD.—

The Thracians had a very striking emblem, expressive of the almighty power of the Deity. It was a sun with three beams—one shining upon a sea of fire, and dissolving it; another upon a rock and melting it; and a third upon a dead man and putting life into him. How admirably may all this be used to illustrate the gospel, which the apostle calls “the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth it.” It melts the hardest heart into uniform obedience to the divine will, and raises those who were dead in trespasses and sins to a life of righteousness.
