great work in redemption; and he could nottelp thinking
that the lax use and notions which so extensively pre-
vailed, at the present time, in reference to it, could not
otherwise be regarded than as distinct indications-of the
infidel tendencies of the age. (Hear, hear.) The order
of creation, and. God's providence over man, showed that
there must be.different classes in the world—but the man
that set one class against another, was the man that was
working for the destruction of both. With that remark
in regard to the working classes, they would allow him to
show how the Christian Sabbath was specially fitted for
them. In the first place, it was' specially fitted for the
working classes, because they had intelligent minds and
immortal souls, equally with the best and noblest. (Hear,
hear.) Let them take up the speeches of those persons
who advocate what they call " Sabbath recreation," and
they would find that they deal with man as if he neither
had a God to serve, a soul to save, nor a Saviour to love.
(Hear, hear.) He did not say that all felt or said so, but
there were many who professed such feelings ; and he was
not wrong, he thought, in asking if that were not the natu-
ral and inevitable result of the anti-Sabbath movement?
(Hear, hear.) They never heard a single sentence
uttered directing the sinner to the Saviour, telling
him the need of salvation, or the way in which that
salvation was to be obtained. They were told
that under the Christian dispensation they were loading
men back to the observance of the old and obsolete Jewish
ceremony ;'but who we-e'the men who were leading them
back, not to the-old and'obso'ete Jewish ceremony, but to
something below it? The Jews never had any such ob-
servance on the Sabbath—nothing so purely carnal as
opening of museums, opening of Crystal Palaces, opening
of public-houses, and playing of bands in public gardens.
"(Cheers and laughter.) He would tell them where they
would find the counterpart of it. If they read history
they would find that there was a religious sect of men
whose Heaven consisted in carnal pleasures, and that was
the Heaven not of the Jew but of the Mahommedan.
(Hear, hear.) How differently did the Sabbath deal with
the working man, His home might be humble and his
fare scant, but it did not deal with hi-n as if he were a mere
brute, or as if he had a body merely to be fed and clothed.
There were great diversities in the positon of men in the
world. Some were born under the sunshine of prosperity.
Well, they had their day; they were very apt to:forget
themselves. Accustomed to command, it was just pr
sible they might fancy themselves more than mar.

their ashes with those of the stranger in ,the commoi
burial place. They werettant merely sons of toil, but the]
were children of servitude. All needed the Sabbath, bu
the poor man's trials rendered the Sabbath indispensabit
to him. (Hear, hear) The rest of the Sabbath was th(
very enjoyment which the poor man needed, and when th(
late Dr. Blackburne was asked by a'minister in town thif
question, whether, putting altogether out of the question
the law of God, the °penult; of parks and other places of
amusement for the working classes would be more bene-
ficial to their bodies, than the rest and exercise which
God's word had already provided for them, he answered
that he had not the smallest hesitation in declaring that
he believed ,if all the medical men lin England were,to
assemble to discuss what sort of Sabbath in itself would
be most beneficial to the working classes, they would say
that it was the very Sabbath that the Bible commanded
them to keep. (Applause.) It was good for their bodies
......it was good for their souls. They were told that the
Sunday in Paris was a far better thing than a Sunday
either in Liverpool or Glasgow; but he should tell againt

There were 13 charges in all-11 of 160 each, and two

named was half-past four, but all was not ready for Mr.
Deane to operate upon with his 10 voltaic batteries and
electric wires, till an hour and a half after, when the de-
molition was pronounced complete as far as it went. Two
cables were again used, to which the small wires leading
to each charge were attached. In addition to a large
number of engineer officers, there were present, although
it was dark, the commander-in-chief, with two aides-de.
