T-1e poet Campbell once went to Paisley races, got pro-
digiously interested in the first race, and betted on the
success of one horse to the amount of £5O with Professor
Wilson. At the end of the race he thought that he had
lost the bet, and said to Wilson, " I owe you £5O, but

id that betting is a sort of gambling only fit for

the Christian dispensa-

fact founded on those moral obliga- 1
.rom which no possible change of circumstances can I
free, and like the Divine institution of the Sabbath,
though veiled for a while under Jewish types, and Jewish
ceremonies, has come down to us stripped f these, and
vet retaining all the force and obligation, the beauty and
freshness of its Divine original; equally binding upon
man in his domestic character, equally imperative upon
him as a father wilik his children, as a master with his ser-
vants, as a king with his subjects; and never to be dis-
regarded without infringing the laws, and contemning the
authority, of God our Maker. With regard to the prac-
tice of antiquity, it is sufficient in a single word to assert,
what no man can deny, that with the exception of the first
three hundred years of the Church's history, when every
emperor was an unbeliever, or a persecutor, or both, and
therefore when Christianity could not be the religion of
the State, there never was a period when the religion of
Christ was not fostered and protected by the Government.
And that during the whole, or the greater part, of those
first 300 years, miraculous powers remained in the
Church, as if to protect its infancy, until the first Chris-
tian emperor, immediately upon his conversion, should
establish it as the religion of the country and throw over
its institutions the shield of the civil power ; a duty, which
was not more seen by Constantine, than it was gradually
and unhesitatingly accepted by the whole body of the
Christian Church ; not a single dissentient voice having
• ever been raised, not an individual Christian foretelling,
or foreseeing that a day could arrive when the connexion
between Church and State should be called an unholy
union, or when men of any persuasion would unite to dis-
solve and destroy it. Upon this point, we will only add a
single observation, that however dissenters may at the
present moment view this question ; from the beginning,
even among themselves, it was not so ; that in fact the
greatest, the holiest among their forefathers, are all found
ranged on the side of an Establishment, and fighting its
battles. It is sufficient to mention the names of Owen,
Baxter, Flavel, Howe, Henry, and Doddridge, in sup-
port of the assertion.—Blunt's Lectures.
