The only inference we are able to draw from |
the above is that the reporter ought to be dis |

clearly unexceptlonable and kind. DR.. Jun-

We answer.
We have made no " argument against the
observance Of the Lords Day Sunday" as
religious Institution morally, md pcrpe1ually
binding; on the contrary We hold 1t 10 be such
an Institution, but VIC have only nrEued that
"God's Law" relative TO the Jewish Sabbath
does not apply to the Christian Lords day,
that in SO far as the Jewish law made Satur-
dny boiler than any other day, II was abolish
ed, and thst no such holy character was cver
bestowed by "God's Law" On Sunday. We
were induced to make this statement br ...y
fact, tftrnc, it zepelled the scrio-.ss charge of
yiolsting Gcd's law, wt.sssn had been hurled
n = through .1e &c press, by one who from his
postt.SSa would be supposed by some to be
learned In the law Of which be spoke

II will be observed that Calvin has denied
that the Jewish commands attach TO the day,
Int denied Its superior holiness, has denounced
the opposite idea a. an unscriptnral snpersti-

not as Jewish Sabbath, hut ns Christian
Lords day, on its practical necessity to the
prosperity Of the church, md its fitness as a
