REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY. Exodus XX. 8. This Divine Comma d, of the Deca- St Ui e e s logeue contained in the Holy Book, was 1 the text at the Moravian Church on Sun- day evening last, (18th inst.) and a more stirring Sermon, with intent (as was - celared by the Preacher, Rev. H. H. Henry) of sounding a note of solemn warning to the persistent desecrators of The Lora’s Day, has scidom been deliv- -ered from a Pulpit. I am writing as one of those who are among the rumber of totadly-indifferent people, utterly regardless as to whether or not we incur Almighty God’s displeas ure; but I must confess, that I was very deeply touched--in fact I felt——as the unmistakeable, distinet and solemn proofs were laid bare in my hearing, that we who violate this law of God, so reckless- ly asis done here, or any where else, are actually standing on the brink of a Divine vengeance, that may at any time, by His will, overtake and send us to eternal perdition. We are Christian people, we would feel deeply insulted, if we were regarded otherwise; but strang- ers from other Christian lands, visiting this, are shocked at our manner of ob- serving and keeping the Lord’s Day. It is useless for us to argue, that in many lands, where the inhabitants are just as professing as we are in this, there is felt complete immunity from God’s visitation and that such people boast of iheir happiness and prosperity, even vnder conditions more horrible and sin- ful, than that of Sabbath-desecration. There is perhaps no denial to this, up to now; but has there been any condition allowed for, or any promise made by the Most High, whereby because many err \ in the same way, that therefore any part thereof will be forgiven? Should we not rather say, and bear well in mind too: that a just God who will by no means clear any that are guilty, will in His own time, visit and punish all to- gether? I, for my part am solemnly resolved, not longer to look with indif- ference upon what should in all earnest- ness be considered as a voice from above; remembering well, that the Preacher, young man though he i3, bade us take notice, that he feit Divinely-inspired to ‘ speak plainly and emphatically ‘on the subject of disregard in this land of this Holy Law; and I shall endeavour as far as possible to set a good example. It has been noticed for some months, and in one or two cases verv recently, that hitherto-prominent traflickers on Sunday-Mornings, have made a cessation of this. Messrs. Creque and A. C. Bough are among those. Would to God that the remaining ones who still obstinately persist irn continuing, may be moved by the Holy Spirit todo the same, so that ere long our dear St. Croix will be num- bered among the lands paying full obedi- ence to God’s command in this. I am sure th t our good friend Mr. A. C. Bough who is ever rrady and willing where admonition for 2¢od is concerned, and 'vhc I hope may take this as an invita- tion, would come out again as on other occasions, and encourage the tardy ones to follow his and other exemplary aects in stopping@ traffic and all business on the Lord’s Day. A blind excuse has been continually made, that until Government and the Legisla ors made compulsory the cessa- tion of business on the Lord’s Pay, it will never be: but this isa mistake, a shameful mistake too. The careful and proper cbservance of that Day should emanate really from the people, exclusive of Government interference. it 13 a duty tiat should be done with voluntary love and pious regard; manifesting true obedience to Him, who Jovingly bestows manifold blessings. No well-ordered, and well-disposed people of a professing Christian land, need wait to be ccmpelled by -the law of such land. into obedience of so imperative a Divine law—*"Remem- ber the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. —Communicated. TELEGRAMS ST. CROIX STA ( ION. (Delayed in transmission.) Zurich, April 18th.—A despatch to the Wolff Bureau states that the German Govt. has ordered the Reischwehr to evacuate the neutral zone in the Ruhr on the 24th ingtant, Turin, April 18th. —-Two bombs exploded today at the artillery depot and a third, of a very powerfuli type was discovered on the railway. Attempts at Satatage ‘re reported to have been made at sever- al of the large factories. Paris, April 18th.—Advices from San Remo state that Mr. Lloyd George, Lord Curzon, M. Millerand Signor Nrtti and Signor Scialoia held g 2 conference this morning and decided to'take up the Turk ish question tomorrow. The corres- pondent of the ‘‘Temps” telegraphs that the absence of the Jugo-Slavs has deprived the Italians of much of their interest in the conference, which will not decide the Adriatie question, the Jugo- Slevs having announced at the last mo- ment that they were not ready. The conference will study, above all, the proper measure for assuring the disarma- ment of Ge many, this explaining the presence ot Marshal Foch, General Wil- son and General Badoglio. It is proba- ble that the conference will last ten days Paris, April 19th.—Ex-President Poin- care, in an article in the ‘“Matin’’on the task of the conference at San Remo, con- grat:lates M. Millerand on his decision and political wisdom in recognising the necessity of putting a stop to the fatal moment which was leading the -Allies to a precipice. He declares it essenti | that no Govt. of the Allies should sup- port any weak decision regarding Ger- many’s vows, that France and Belgium could not have acted otherwise than they did, insists on the necessity of a close rapprochement beiween the Allies shcws
