We cannot plead ignorance upon this most int
portant subject The express teaching OF tho
Seventh Verse of the Eleventh Chapter Of Ls-
yiticus is as follows: And the Swine, though
be divide the hoof, and be clOyen-iooted, yst
he cheweth not tho cud; he is uaclean to you
Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their car
cass shall ye not touch; they are unelean %
YOU The Frce-thiDker is not contented to 40.
ccpt humbly these plain provisions OF the Law.
In the pride of bis heart and tho strength
Of his stomach, he cries. Why should
I not eat sausagesl do they not a.
ways agree with me do they not relish
exceedingly This is the blasPheruous defiance
of the reckless epicure, who thinks more ofhs
Body than of his Bible. Thus is It that fraI
weakening Human Reason is pressed into IL
service of Human Appetite. But the question
addressed TO our cOnsciences, Us responsible
beings, is not whether we Ike sausages, Dcr
whether they agree with u.s. nor whether
can see the Infinite Justice of forbdding then.
but simply and solely whether or not they are
forbiddenl Our business is not to cayil, bus
to submit. That this Law was not aoroga'ea
under the new Di,pensatlcn, IS equally cieot
from tho fact that the devils were copIurM
into drove of pigs By our Savior; nor can u
be clearly shown by any violater OF this Law,
that the sausage which he purposes to eat for lni
breakfast tomorrow morning, will not be mant
factured from direct descendant Of some on
Of that herd which were driven into the sea-
some individual pig saved upon that occasion
for the most uefarious purposes, By the special
interpostion of the Enemy of Mankind"
