Christ and the Sabbath. By the Rev. THOMAS MATTHEW, Original Secession Church, Kilwinning.

Price, 1d. each; postage of one to three copies, $\frac{1}{2}$ d.
We have much pleasure in commending this pamphlet by the Rev. T. Matthew to our readers. It embodies a Lecture delivered by Mr. Matthew in Edinburgh, in which he handles, in a very able, clear, and convincing manner, the teaching of Christ on Sabbath observance. It is one of the best statements of the truth upon the subject in brief compass that we have seen in recent years, and in our judgment it is exceedingly suitable for general circulation, as its readable and persuasive style, accompanied by sound argument, is well fitted to convince and win gainsayers. We make no quotations, but leave the pamphlet to the personal examination of its purchasers. We bespeak for it a wide and extensive circulation, and trust the divine blessing may make it a useful help to the promotion of truth that is much needed in the present day. Many seem to imagine that Christ has abolished the Fourth Commandment, but they are greatly mistaken, as Mr. Matthew very plainly shows. And this is better a thousand times for the individual and the world at large.
