England has very recently had melan.
choly proofs Of the inieriority of their rail

purity, and within a recent period steps
have teen taken in regard to an improve
mept in the postal system which bids fair
to bring bout complete revolution 10
that branch OF the public service, at least
so far as distributing is concerned. In

necessarily involves delay in the trans

done on the cars, by which letters will be

case of letters forwarded from Pittsburg,

Uader the present arrangement they are
forwarded to New York aud Boston as

first enacted it. Hence, If the law respect
ing the Seventh day weekly Sabbath has
not been repealed or amended by, the same
authority which FIRST enacted it, it still re-
mains in full force and obligation as orig
inallY given. This conclusion is legitimate,
necessary and hndeniable. 1t lis obvious to
persons of every capacity. And We here
declare our deliberate and settled conviction
from a careful and thorough examination OF
the matter, that there has never been any
such repeal or amendment; hence that our
obligation, and that of all men, to keep the
Sabbath of the fourth commandment re-
mains without the least abatement. Till
heaven aud earth pass. we believe, accord
ing to the declaration of the Savior, one Jet
or one title shall in no wise pass from the
law till all be fulfilled. We alledge, then,
| fearless of successful contradictions that it
never has been so repealed or amended, aud
hence is now binding upon the entire family
of man.
When perusing the history of the resur-
rection we find no intimation that the first
day of the week then was or was thereafter
to be honored or observed as the Sabbath
or day of public worship. On the con-
trary, we:learn that two of his disciples in-
|
the first day as a Sabbath, commemorative
of that event, started upon a journey of
fifteen miles, thus performing secular labor;
then after eight days they met again. That
certainly must have been some other than
the first, being after eight days; and further
more, it cannot be proven by Divine writ
that Christ arose from the tomb the first
day of the week. And Christ commanded
liz g 4 -. n
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever l
have commanded you, and 10 l am with you
always even unto the end Of the world"
This is in Mathew 28th chapt., 10Th, and
goth verses.
To those who would make the precepts
of scripture and the law of God their rule
of duty. and would seek for the application
of that law in the examples Of Christ, the
apostles, the apostolic church, and the
church that Immediately succeeded it, the
Seventh day of the week still remains as
the Sabbath with the sanction Of ,Tehova' s
Law, and the examples of the son of God
and inspired men 10 sustain it, and if it be
the duty of Christians and the Christian
] church to obey God it is no less their duty
, to keep the Seventh day of the week as the
Sabbath than it is to abstain from theft or
murder.
In conclusion, reader, would you prove

by the love Of God that we keep his command.

The Manner of Keeping the sabbath.


How should the Sabbath be kept? We
answer first by doing no harm, and second
ly by doing good. Much harm is done to
society by neglecting to set worthy ex
ample before others.
Now you might preach till doom8day,
that men ought to go to meeting and OBJ
serve the Sabbath yet if we fail to teach This
practically all will fall TO the ground. Aud
the world have right to brand US with
hypocrisy. That is a true liberty
who is more than nominalIy so. All his
professions evaPorate, unless he is willing
to demonstrate the fact positively by strik-
ing the foe, with strong and steady blows,
aud ever striking him, until he is consum-
ed. Just so in religion: and that is mega
tive religionist; aad that is negative reli-
gion, aud hence of but little utility, that
rests satisfied by doing no harm. Such
person will soon do harm, for while the
vile serpent, sin, nestles in his heart and
grows luxuriantly ali around him, be can
not maintain his life or his liberty long.
His evident course is to carry on an often
siYe war, with sword in hand to cut down
every impious foe, that dare to desecrate
this holy ground, until the militant church,
led by their great captain, Jesus, shall have
driven Satan from thebearth. and the prince
of peace shall reign and ever rule, and earth
becomes one great garden of our God.
Hence a negative religion, is no religion
at all And the Sabbath that is not kept
in an affirmative sense, is not kept at all.
But there are many alas who do not
come up to this feeble STANDARD of morality.
How readeth the command Remember
the Sabbath day to keep 1t holy" That is
in the service of holy God, we are to do
positive and holy duty, on holy time. with
