MIGHTY TO SAVE! ~~ _.~* BY VESTA N. CUDWORTH. a oe we ¥ AIR. — “We're tenting to-night on the Old Camp Ground!” We're sailing to-day on the stormy tide Of time, with a threat’ning gale; We fear not the storm, with Christ by our side, We never! no never! can fail. Many are the dear ones left by the way, And some have gone down to the grave; We will meet them again when death yields its prey, For Jesus is mighty to save. CHorus: Mighty to save, mighty to save, Jesus is mighty to save. Let the old vessel rock, we're nearing the shore, And home looks bright o’er the wave, We'll shout ‘mid the thundering breaker’s roar, Our leader has conquered the grave. Then oceans may yawn, and rocks for us lurk, The mad foam, our frail bark may lave; Our anchor’s in Heaven, our heart’s in the work, And Jesus is mighty to save. Cuorus: Mighty to save, mighty to save, Jesus is mighty to save, ‘Oh! sailor rejoice, there is land in sight, The flower-gem’d shore so fair, Is just o’er the wave; where a golden light Sprinkles the balmy air; Never mind the toil, we'll tug at the oar, Be truthful, loving, and brave; We're just in the port, where the toiling is o’er, And Jesus is mighty to save. Crorus: Mighty to save, mighty to save, Jesus is mighty to save. SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION. Battle Creek, Mich. — Price 83,00 per hundred.

Among this class may bereckon- ed the old, threadbare assertion that ¢time has been lost,” and that therefore the true seventh day cannot be found. The inconsistency of this objection is made more apparent when we consid- er by whom itis urged. One would naturally sup- pose that this would be the pet argument of those who believe in no Sabbath, but such is not the case. This class generally, very frankly confess that if there is a Sabbath in this dispensation, the seventh day, or the day now commonly called Saturday, is the true one. What is most surprisingly incon- sistent, then, is to hear this objection from those who profess to believe in the perpetuity of the fourth commandment, and of the Sabbatic institu- tion, and who have a tender regard for Sunday, little realizing that every argument against the preservation of the true seventh day militates with equal force against the first. : But let us examine this objection, and see if it is not lacking in truth as well as consistency. The first argument we would array against it is drawn from the perpetuity of the commandment enjoining the seventh day. We cannot here go into a lengthy discussion of this point; indeed it would be unnecessary, when we consider that those who present the objection are professedly full believers in the ten commandments. But we would premise that first, the fourth commandment ey ry peo oh EEN ee SERIT PRE > ey rar rE PT ero Sy EE SL RCA TEE REE orn wren Let wns eT iT SITS For a, Ea
