A Scotch minister and the QUEEN
Preaching at Dunfermline one Sunday recently, the Rev. Jacob Primmer said that on the previous Sabbath they found the Queen in Florence, driving through dense and cheering crowds of Papists on her way to the trail* which was to convey her to Berlin. This had given great pain to many of her Protestant subjects, and it was a violation of the Sabbath law. The journey was neither one of necessity nor mercy, as she could have started on the Friday or Monday, and the Kmperor of Germany was rather better than he had been during the week. They would have Sabbath- breakers in the future pleading Her Majesty's example for setting the Sabbath law at defiance. The Queen's running after the priests of Antichrist portended trouble and disaster in the future.
