FRENZY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

is well known that great numbers of the
chirgy are, on principle, opposed to the recent change in
the Sunday postal arrangements. The rational and
Scriptural views of Archbishop Whately and the late
Dr. Arnold, with reference to the Lord's day, are ac-
cepted by hundreds even of those who would feel some
difficulty in subscribing to the opinions of those great
and learned men on some other subjects. Wby, then,
do not those who believe this recent change in the
I'ost•office to be repugnant alike to common sense and
to Christianity, step forward boldly and aid the efforts
now making to procure a repeal of this most offensive
regulation? For my own part, I have done and shall
do all that is in my power to point out to the people the
cruelty, injustice, and, above all, the utterly un-Christian
nature of this proceeding, convinced Chas iu so doing I
am but acting in perfect consistency with my duty as a
clergyman and as a Christian, in resisting the attempt
to impose upon the English people a Judaical observance
of the Sunday, and so to deprive them of " that liberty
wherewith Christ has made us free." Nothing, as is
seems to me, can be more self-evident to any unprejudiced
student of the New Testament, tha❑ that the attempt to
stop all postal communication on Sunday is an act of
tyranny and oppression, for which no warrant whatever
can be iound iu that Holy Book. Is it conceivable, that
He, who su severely rebuked the hypocrisy ef those
who would have prevented Him from belling the sick on
the Jewish Sabbath, would sanction a measure which
will prevent the son from hastening to the nedside of the
d) jug parent, and keep thousands racked with the agony
of hope, deterred through the long hours of a day which
ought to be he?, so far as may be, for contemplation on
sacred things, and for holy Christian enjoyment?
I perceive that the same party, whose efforts have
procured from a weak and reluetant,Nlinistry the perpe-
tration of this outrage on religion and common sense,
are now actively employed in circulating petitions
against the admission of Jews into Parliament. I can
iwagino nothing more absurd than this. Why, Sir, if
they are so fond of Jewish ordinances, should they so
strongly object to Jewish Legislators

I e—ut;lose-my address, that you may know that my 1
signature is not a feigned one, and with my sincere
wip.hrs that your exe►t:ons in the cause k,f religious
liberty may be soon crowned with success,
I am, Sir, your very obedient servant,
A PRESBYTER OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
