more; whatever it should receive beyond
this, would be injurious rather than 9th
erwise. The sphere and operations OF
the civil law, are all outside of mans in
ward or spiritual life, and to the great
realms of faith, conscience, and religion
which it has never entered, it must for
ever remain an alien and stranger.
While it cannot be said, strict
ly speaking, that this is le-
gally q Christian Nation, or that
it derives its religion from it's
laws, it most unquestionably,can be truth
fully said, if not in law, at least in senti-
ment, IN opinion, in conduct, in charac-
ter, in the estimation of the civilized
world. and in contradistinction from bar
barous heather and pagan nations, that
it is most emphatically ga Christian ma
ton, thoroughly embued with the pre-
cepts and principles of Christianity. The
founders of our nation were a Christian
people. We cannot dispute or deny our
paternity We are not nation of inf
dels, but of Christians; not nation of
Sabbath breakers, but nation of Sab
bath-keepers.
1 conclude then that the Christian
Sabbath rests not upon the civil law, but
upon the absolute, individual, inalienable
rights of man akin to those of life, liberty,
pOioulO Vi WIN WulCA
men are endowed by their Creator, and
which, except when forfeited by the COM
mission of crime, no law can take away.
In these remarks, 1 have spoken of the
civil law as it is, and of the relation ex-
isting between it and the Christian Sab
bath. If this relation is eyer-ohanged,
the change must be in the civil law, not
in the Sabbath. Its character is fixed,
secured for all time Men may change
the civil law. they cannot change the
Sabbath. 1t may be asked what relation
the Sabbath ought to sustain to the civ
il law. Ny answer is, exactly the rela-
ton that it does sustain.
The civil law in regard to the Sabbath
is right, is just, is exactly what it ought
to be. 1t is not alw ays properly observ-
ed, it is not always properly enforced, it
is not always sufficiently executed, it is
often violated, but the law itself is right,
founded in wisdom, essential to morali-
ty, encouraging to Christianity, health
full to society, beneficial to man, in har-
mony with his nature, and conducive to
his happiness. The moral law and the
civil law mutually supplement- each 9TH
er, and in obedience to their precepts,
we are enabled in this Christian nation
to exclaim. GLORY to God in the highest,
peace on earth and good will toward
men.

Fading.

The Past is fading, fading,
Never to come again;
The cypress tree is shading
Half of the sunny PLAIN;
Unchanged, Wot, i $ each well known scene,
Nota branch shows new in the hedgeroW S greer
Just SO the lark from the meadow sprung,
When life and alike were young; g..
Just so the primrose peeped 10 light,
When and April hailed the sight,
Yet; Natures self, pervading,
Is the sense of something gone;
The Past is fading, fading,
And the wheel of Time rolls on
The Past is fading fading,
And gather'd in its hold,
Its mighty pinions lading,
Is much we prize of old;
The grass grows rank over many grave
of the young and joyous and gay and brave,
Many a well lov'd voice is hush'd,
Many golden hope is crush'd,
Many a happy dream is over,
With smile of kindred, friend, and lover,
The Past is fading. fading,
The blood runs cold and slow;
Harsh wisdom is degrading
The creeds of long ago.
The Past is fading, fading,
We cling and pray in vain
Where the cypress tree is shading,
The tombs of all the slain.
Slain by the years and put aside,
The darlings of love, the idols of pride.
One by one the frail links part,
Hand drops from hand and heart from heart,
One by one the sweet things given
To brighten Earth go back to Heaven,
Till love and life, pervading,
Sigh the sense of something gone,
And the Past is fading, fading,
And the wheel of Time rolls on.

taking both Of these points into consider
