! OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH
We urver, in the whole course of our
recolIecuons, met with Christian friend

evidence Of the Spirits operation, who did
not remember the Sabbath day, and keep

the worthless who ure lying IN their graves,
that, eminent as they were in every other
grace aud Accomplishment Of the new crea
ture, the righteousness Of their Sabbath day
shone with equal lus,fe, nmld the fine as
semblngo Of virtues which adorned them.
Ia every Christian household it will be
found, that the discipline Of wellordereJ
Sabbath is never forgotten among the old
lessons Of Christian education; aud we

his bosom Of a fathers worth, and fathers
