day of rest | view it as a day of compensation for
the inadequate restorative power of the body uD
der continued labour and excitement If show
you, from the physiological view of the question
that there are provisions iu the law of nature
which corresponds with the divine commandment,
you will see from the analogy that the Sabbath
was made for maa, as necessary appointment
physician is anxious to preserve the balance of
circulation as necessary to tie restorative power
of the body. The ordinary exertions of man run
down the circulation every day of his life; and
the first general law of nature by which God {who
is not only the giver, but also the preservef and
sustainer of lile) prevents man from destroying
himself is the alternating of day aad night that re-
pose may succeed action. But although the night
apparently equazes the circulation well, yet it
does not sufficiently restore its balance for the at
tainment of long life. Hence one day in seven
by the bounty of Providence, is thrown in as
day of compensation, to perfect BY its repose the
animal system. / consider that, in the bountiful
provision made by Almighty God for the preserv-
alton of human life, the Sabbatica appointment is
not, as it has been sometimes thelogicaIly viewed,
simply precept partaking of the nature of a po-
litical Institution; but that il is to be numbered
amongst the natural duties, if the preservation of
life be admitted to be duty, and premature des-
truction of it a suicidal act. This is said simply
as physician, aud without reference at all to the
theological question but Il you consider farther
the proper effect of real Christianity namely,
peace of mind, confding trust in God, and good
will to man--you will perceive in this source of
renewed vigor to the mind, and through the mind
to the body, an additional spring of life impaired
from the higher use of the Sabbath as holy rest
would point out the Sabbatical rest as necessary
10 man, and that the great enemies of the Sabbath,
and consequently the enemies of man, are all la
bori0us exercises of the body or mind, and dissi-
patton, which force the circulation on that day on
which it should repose; whilst relaxation from the
ordinary cares olife the enjoyment of this repose
in the bosom of ones family, with the religious
studies and duties which the day enjoius (not one
of which, if rightly exercised, tends to abridge
Iife) constitute the beneficial and appropriate SER
vice of the day.
