RECOVERY OF TnEoDoRE PARRER.-Rev TheUdOr
Parker, who has recently been suffering from q SO
we're illness, resumed his minis,rations last Sun
day. Ills text was from Acts Chap. l6. Ners'
SO, "Do .thyself no HARM" The sermon was
continuation Of a course begun some time ago.
lie took the ground that old age is the only nat
ural way of death. and that any disease is unnat
ural, and to show this he alluded to the compare
tive calmness with which persons bear the loss O
one Of their relatives who had lived to az
old ago. while most parenti were inconsolable toi
the loss Of their children. lie commended that a.
some future time mankind would outgrow disease
and die from old age.
lie spoke of the Christian Church having always
considered the body as of no consideration, aud tc
have abused il by penance, &C., and in this connec
ton said that when Paul said, ~ know that there
is no good thing. in my flesh" he did not really
believe it.
Alter abiding to the mortality in England, he
passed to the consideration Of that among The
slaves in the South and contended that the NOR
tally among them was as s to 3 among white per
sons, yet 10 a free State they wcte long lived lie
stated that the bills of mortality were increased
oO,O0O annually in this country by death among
the slaves.
He then attributed a great portion Of the deaths
particularly in cities, to bad drainage, and in this
connection said that it would take hundreds Of
years and an immense expense to do Tor the lands
ON the South Cove, in Boston what could have,
been done thirty years since for q mere trifie.
lie was particularly severe on intern perate, in
dolent and ayariciouseper ons, and spoke of them
as q curse to any society, contendiug that it was by
their offspring that civilization was retarded and
disease rerpetuated.
In Conclusion Mr.. Parker spoke of the bread
made in New England MS beiag the means OF sen
ding more to an early grave than all the spirituous
liquors sold. He cautioned his hearers against

response, and oxhorting the states to cultivate
moral virtues, Industrious domestic habits, and to
observe scrupulously all The federal obligations.
lie then rOiers to the recent slavery cases as pre-.
scouting in strong relief the devotion to law md or
der OF the people Of South Calolina, but expresses
regret ut their occurrence as productive of unwan'
ted excitemcnts. He questions the propriety of
interfering in such a manner with abe commerce
of the inhabitants of Cuba, and expresses the be-
lief that while the navy Of the United States may
under the Constitution be charged with preventing

ulate their own affairs and enforce their own po-
lice.
