clergymon have courteously mentioned ver- ses which would be likely to yield results. Some of the verses which are cited to refute the claim of the Adventists are as follow:
I was in the spirit on the Lord's Day and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.'-Revelation i., 10.
*And upon the first day of the week. when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them ・・...... -Acts, xx., Th
Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath
prospered him that there be no gatheringe when I come.'-I. Corinthians, xvi., 2.
THE NEW DISPENSATION.
It
Upon these verses Christians base their observance of the first day of the week. While the Bible may contain no strict in- junction that the first day shall be our Sunday, in hallowing it we are following the precedent established by Christ was His custom to meet His disciples on the first day, and un that day the oarly Chris- tans always met and worshipped. Then, too, the Lord's Supper was always kept on thu-dient-day. A Methodist pastor notes also that, although the old Jewish Sabbath fell on the seventh day of the week, Christ rose from the dead on the first day, thus initiating the new dispensation. It is with the resurrection of Christ that the Christian religion really begins. Therefore it is urged that the first day of the week is the only day which Christians have any right to hold in particular voneration.

the seventh day. The rock on which this church is based is found in the fourth com- mandment, which states explicitly that 999⚫the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.' Another very high authority for the Seventh Day Adventists is St. Luke. In the fourth chapter of his gospel is the account of the sermon which Christ deliver ed at Nazareth, at the close of which the congregation in the synagoue tried to cast Him from the brow of a hill. In this ser- mon occurs that famous saying, No pro- phet is accepted in his own country. The sixteenth verse of the chapter is as follows: And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and, as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up for to read." From this it scoma plain that it was Christ's habit to worship on the Sabbath day.

THE QUEEN'S PROCLAMATION. The passages in Exodus and Luke being granted as cause for the Adventists belief, it is obvious that they have personal ro ssons for the protest they are making. Their case is ably presented
ed by Rev Mr Rickard, who declares that the law com- pelling everyone to observe the first day of the week as the modern Sabbath would be în violation of the principles of religious liberty contained in a proclamation by the late Queen Victoria in 1858, which reads as follows: Firmly relying on the truth of Christianity and acknowledging with gratitude the solace of religion, we disclaim alike the right and the desire to impose
any of
our subjects.

MOVING PICTURES OF WARS
In very ment wars the motion-picturo onmeras have made their appearancu. Con sidering the litliculties attenling ordinary photography in war, one can imagine at what expens of money and labor – to say nothing of courage→ moving scenes on the tiring line arosecured. C. Frød Ackerman, with whom Tented in China, is undoubted - ly the most accessful of the war potion- picture opentors, His first experience was in the Philippines, where he secured, in the face oftrememlinus difficulties, some remarkable results. One picture, in par ticular, was wonderful bit of realism. Ackermisu had his camera right on the firing line, and two American soldiers were hit and fell directly in front of the lens, and only a short distance away. In the natur excitement of operating his cuinera under sucli deemstances Ackerman did not know that be bad photographed two men in the at of being struck down until many months afterward when he saw the picture exhiber in a New York theatre.
White photographing a charge of Bengal Lancers near Tientsin, Ackerman was slightly wounded. It happened in this way Desiring Lo get a front view of the charge, Ackeman set up his camera direct. ly in the path of the charging squadron, Now when, in times of peace, cavalry charges have ben photographed from the front, a fortification has always been erect- ed for the camera and operator. Thus day Ackerman, had no protection
He placed his camera on the op n ground and set it in operation as the Sepoy soldiers, their horses heated by a forenoon of lively work, swept down upon him. When within a few yards of the camera, the squadron se so asto pass on each side. Going parated

The lancers swept by in a cloud of lust, which for a moment ob scured the amera and operator. When the dust liftal, Ackerman and his machine were found to be safe, but his face was white as a sheet, He afterwards said that when the lancers got within fifty yards of
