5. Calyin .ays:-By changing the
day, aud yet at'ributiDg to this day,
whom changed the sane saDc;ity which
the Jews did to their Ssbbaths, We
retain the same typical distinction Of
days as had place among the Jews.
Those who now cling to them go
twice as far As did the Jews them
selves, in the gross and carnal super
stition of their Sabbath Worship
Inst. viii. "a.
G. Beza saws ON the Lords day
no cessation Of work is required; that
would be not to abolish Judaism, bat
merely to put il off for another day"

7. Archbis Cranmer required OF
the clergy tSsVeach the people that
they would grieyously offend God il
they abstsined from working on Sun

3. Jeremy Taylor says: -" The
Lords day did not succeed in the place
Of the Sabbath, but the Sabbath was
abrogated. The Lords day was mere
Iv az ecclesiastical institution"
v. Paley says -" Cessation upon
Sunday from labor, beyond the time OF
attendance upon public worship, is not
intimated in any passage in the New
Testamen', nor did Christ or his apos-
ties deliver anv command to their
disciples for discontinuance upon
that day Of the common Offices Of their
professions" Again =" The resting
on that day from our employments,
longer than We are detained from them
By attendance upon public worship, is
to Christians an ordinance OF human
institution. "-Mor. Pm. w..
10. Whatley, Archbishop Of Dublin,
says :" The lords day is to be held
purely as religious festival, Judaism
being abolished, all its ritual obser-
vances mnst, of course, be wholly at an
end, so that We are no more compelled
to keep the fourth commandment than
we are to keep the worship of the TEN
pie or the daily sacrifce.'i Essays on

IL. DR.. Arnold. one of the most able
aud highly esteemed divines Of the
English church in modern times, says
-" That Sunday should be day O
of greater leisure than other deys, anc
of the suspension, as far as may be, o
the common business of life, but ther
/ should have much greater indulgence
for recreation on a Sunday than 20,
mi, ht have; and if the railway enables
the people in the great towns to &c
out into the country on Sunday,
should think it very great good."-
Dir. Arnold's Life, Vol. H., p. 2lO.
IL. Luther says =" II any wher'
the day is made holy for the mere day
sake-ii any where any one sets up it
observance upon Jewish foundation
then l order yon to work on it, t.
feast on it, to anything that shall
remove this encroachment on tn
Christian spirit and liberty" - Sc

| A w itherins Appeal to Dealers in Ssson
Drink
The following eloquent appeal
from the pen OF the Rev. Alexande
Duncanson
Dealers IN dr.nk!-Yours is a mel
ancholy position-a more pitiful, NOR
unworthy, more degraded and NOR
sinful position, cannot be conceived =
To prey upon the shame, the crime
the body, the soul, the time, the etc,
nifty of fellow creature, is awful
To prepare the way of bankruptcy
pauperism, disease, prison, death is no
to be coveted! To assist to ruin char
acter, murder reputation, sink positio
and circumstances, filch man
crumbs of bread, is odious To beg
gar families, bre k the hearts of wive.
scatter domestic firebrands and dealt
break up happy homes, divide unite
hearts, dissolve family links OF the Gle
sest ties, is a baseness indescribable.-
To rise into riches by such a course
not to be rich; to be honored is to b
dlshonored to gain place in the wori
is to have no dignity to stand fort
in the cause Of religion is to dau
lions walls with untempered mortal
To swell out in portly dimensions b
the sale Of strong drink is the price {
poverty; to rise into luxury is a gal
from wretchedness to walk abroad j
ease lie purchase from perspiratio
and toll to assume high airs, and ga
about all bespaugled and bejeweled,
an elevation wrung from shame, degrs
dation, misery, and death. How il
fatuatcd must be the drinker to be rol
ing in every comfort aud luxury, po
sessing wealth and property, and a
purchased at the poor inebriate's G,
pense. The publican we'll CLOTHED
while he is in rags; the publican
wife, handsome, bnxom, jeweled, b,
the poor drunkard's not where to la
her head, the publican's childre
clothed, fed, educated, and preserve
from the inclememcies Of the season
but mark his customers, cold, starve'
ragged, vet, diseased. What a diffe
ence betw cen the state of those th,
are supported by strong drink. Sur
ly, if reflection was left in the DRUM
ards mind, the sketch We have ju
gwen would Danish forever the drinkt
from the drunkery door.
