REPLY TO DR. M'NEILE'S PAMPHLET ON

THE SABBATH,

PART 11.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.

Sir,—l must now resume my reply to Dr.
M'Neile's pamphlet. I have already shown
how his chain of reasoning falls, link by link,
to pieces as you touch it—how his arguments
crumble in your grasp. In this second half of
his pamphlet there is no reasoning, there are
no arguments at all. Dr. M'Neile had, he thought,
established his case. He might now dogmatise,
and criticise. We will test the worth of these
dogmas and critiques.
Dr. M'Neile having proved, to his own satisfac
tion, that the observance of the Sabbath is a

moral obligation, and that this observance consists
in keeping the Sabbath " holy," and " a day of
rest," proceeds to enlighten us as to the meaning
of the word " holy."
Holiness is separation to the service of God from all
the ordinary uses of this world.
If, therefore, we are to keep ourselves " holy,"
we are to separate ourselves for the service of
God from all the ordinary uses of the world.
Is this really the case, Dr. M‘Neile ? Then,
must we either give up the vain dream of holiness,
or turn monk at once—" The world forgetting,
by the world forgot;" we must then liv© like
St,. Jerome, set apart for holiness, as " the

Jewish tabernacle, temple, and sacrifices !" No !
Dr. M`Neile, your hatred to " Papistry" prevents
you from wishing us to separate ourselves
altogether from the use of the world, as those
superstitious papists have sometimes done.
You know, too, that some few mundane matters

require a little attention. Orange meetings
have to be harangued ! Liverpool elections have
to be attended to !

You give us absolution, then, if once in the week
we are holy ;—if, on the Sabbath, we give to God
those hours which, for -six other days, we devote
to the world, the flesh, and the devil.
Most solemnly do I deny this definition of holi-
ness;—most solemnly do I protest against the
Sabbatarian doctrine which called this definition
faith.

My definition of holiness,—and it is a definition
sanctioned by the head of the Church of England,
as expressed in Mr. Caird's sermon,—is the per-
formance of the obligations and the duties of life
with a view to the service and the glory of God.
It is no separation of work and worship : it is their
closest union. Laborai e est orare. It is an obli-
gation not of one day, but of every day. It is
the clear and certain faith that not at one time,
or in one place, but everywhere and always, our
Heavenly Father is with us, and hears, and sees,
and tries us. It is, indeed, a privilege to have
opportunities of social worship, and public service,
upon the Lord's Day. It is a terrible curse if
we substitute that service for the communion
with God which every day should give.
Dr. M'Neile observes that " unconverted men
cannot keep it (the Sabbath) right." As there
can be no doubt that he considers himself
converted,— and me unconverted,—l am afraid
lest his superior status should have endowed
him with a more deep-meaning phraseology than
we ordinary mortals boast; and that the confusion
of style and ideas which I find in this part of
this remarkable production, may be owing, in some
degree to my own weak worldly understanding.
And here we ask thirdly, what is the duty of a Christi an
Legislature on this subject ?
And here follows a definition of law. It is a
valuable definition— not yet included in any
treatise on jurisprudence :
Law is the deliberate expression of sober minds, of minds
free from the excitements of passion, and at leisure to
think : not of any one mind, however competent, but the
result of a combination of minds, making the best use they
can of the light they have.
Dr. M'Neile cannot be supposed to have read
profane history, otherwise I should remind him
of Solon, of Lycurgus, and of some few other law
givers of a more recent date. But I may fairly
ask how many minds elaborated the Mosaic law,
in the knowledge of which I cannot deny that
Dr. M'Neile is in some sense s skilled proficient.
But this definition of law is nothing to the
purpose. Its flippant blundering is characteristic,
but objectless.
The argument that immediately follows has a
very determined object. It is calculated to enlist '
the poor and the working man under the Sab-
batarian banner, by an ap?eal to his fears and
interests. Lie is told that it is. this Christian
Legislature-7" this deliberate expression of sober
