Tho Unitarian View OF sunday-It Is a /
Day OF Rest for Body and Mind-scr-
mon by Professor Young, OF Cambridge. I
The pulpit OF the Church of the Messiah, corner of
Park avenue and Thirty fourth street, was yester
day morning occupied by Professor Edward J. (
Young, of Cambridge, Mass. The reverend gentle
man chose for his subject the uses and Obser-
vances OF the Sabbath" and based his discourse
upon Psalm cxvIti 24-"This Is the day which
the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad
In it." The feeliugs Of the Psamst, he began, are
those with which every one greets the return Of
the blessed day. To all the earth 1t Is day OF re-
freshment and gladness. Its light seems moro
beautiful than that of other days. Like the
stiffness OF night 1t is grateful to the heart. An
inerable calm steals upon our spirits. Man and
beast rejoice In its soothing quiet; Nature herself
basks in its golden beams 1t is indeed the day
which the Lord hath made-not established by acct
dent or
DEVISED BY PRIESTCRAFT,
but ordained by God for the welfare and happiness
OF man. It's antiquity its unversality, Its hold up
on the hearts Of men, prove it provldential. In

There Is something truly imposing in this uni
versal abandonment of all labor, this laying
aside all thought for mans physical wellbeing, and
the recognition OF his higher nature The existence
and unvarying recurrence OF such day testify to
some deep controlling forces that have established
ana perpetuated it and to some urgent needs OF
man that thus require 10 be satisfied. Our day does
