TRINITY CHAPEL.

The Rev. Prot. George \. seymour u. d., repeated
by special request last evening" under the auspices
Of the American Church Union, his sermon recently
delivered in Zion church. The text was ain
fastngs,n second Corinthians, sixth chapter, part
Of the nth verse. The argument was briefly this:-
God enjoins upon men in he most solemn manner
the observance Of the seventh day ~ sacred TO Him
self. He includes the command in the Decalogue
which lie gave from Mount Sinai under the most
awful sanctions. He wrote IL with His own finger
ON table Of stone. Almost all, however, who pro-
fess and call do not now keep the
seventh day holy IA God commanded, but observe
instead the fst day. What authority they plead
for thus superseding express and reiterated CON-
mand OF Almighty Godf Can they a1lcge the Bible
az their warrant for the change They cannot, since
there is nothing In Holy scripture TO justify them In
setting aside Gods most solemn injunction. The
tex1 IN the New Testament which mention
the hrss day contain nothing which can pos
siby be made to lmnly q repeal Of the
fourth commandment All who observe the first day
instead OF the seventh, must ultimately appeal how
ever reluctant they may be 70 do so the authority
OF the Church to justify their practice But n this
authority Dc sufficient warrant for supersedpg an
