[IN THE TWILIGHT SIDE BY SIDE.]

PART VII.
SABBATH AND REST.
See, for that the Lord hath given you the Sabbath.—Ex. xvi. 29.
At the close of our last open evening, I promised some of you, dear girl friends and correspondents, that I would take Sunday and Rest as the subject of one of our talks. I find that the minds of many amongst you are much exercised as to “the right way of keeping Sunday.”
“I shall be very glad if you will some time say a little about Sundays, and perhaps give us some little rule to help us to keep them holy,” wrote one. “People have such different ideas about what is right and wrong to do on Sunday.”
I do not wish to take that word “people” in too wide a sense.
Our twilight gathering is a large one, and now includes members of widely differing ages and positions in life. I hope we all rejoice in knowing that so many older friends have been drawn within our circle, and are in full sympathy with us.
