AFTER all, is not this observance of
the Sabbath by the Jews and of Sum-
day by the Christians matter of indi-
vidual conscience, to which 1t should
be referred. Should the government
of a republic, that refuses even to rec
ognize God, in its federal constitution,
and goes no further than to do this in
State organic law, undertake to do
more than make the day, like the fourth
of July, holiday non-secular day
To guarantee to working people day
OF perfect rest is a matter of public
policy; to do more than this and re-
strict an individual in acts interfering
in nothing with the equal rights and
epioyments OF others is unrepublican,
despotic and unwise. To close bar
rooms that peace and order may be OBJ
served on holiday is proper enough,
but the rest of the law is borrowed

The preaching Of the time IN Texas
is as good as the people are willing TO
hear. Neither in the church nor out
of it is there any considerable demand
for better preaching. Where there is
most intelligence or culture the chief
desire in regard to preaching is thatit
shall be entertaining, and thus suited
to attract many hearers who will help
to pay the expenses of the church.
Under Tie hyoluntary system" as IT is
| called, which prevails hare, it would
be very diflicnlL to give the people any
kind Of preaching which they do not
want. The persons who need to be
taught guided and instructed thus fix
the standard end determine almost
wholly the character of the teaching
which they are ID receive. This is an
Incidental effect of the dominion OF
the masses, Of cur universal suffrage
arrangement of society. la very few
of the churches or congregations in
this country can there be any continu-
Gus OF habItua' religious teaching
which the people do not approve. The
standard or ideal "a TO preaching lie
usually higher among ministers than
among their hearers, and many clergy
men maintain a constant struggle
against the injurious tendencies of ii e
popular taste, and try to create In the
minds of their hearers an appetite fer
the higher and more spiritual qualities
in religious teaching. But The preach
ing of the country, like nearly every
thing else in our national life. is likely
to become more and more completely
representative of the culture, taste,
morality and entire character Of the
people who compose the churches. II
this is the tendency, the character of
the preaching will not thereby be ele-
waited or improved.
