highest civil worth. Man needs it
physically, as season when labour
may wipe off it's CRIME and breathe
more freely after the weeks exhaust
ion, and when care shall slacken its
hold upon the frame and the heart.
Man needs it morally, to rise by its
aid out of the engrossing secularities
and materialism to the remembrance
of his spiritual interests, his final ac-
count and his eternal destiny. Toll
needs it, to rescue its share of rest
and it's season of devotion from the

Capital needs it, to shield it's own ac-

AN OPEN LETTER

servance.

Dear Sirs.-My connection with
these Isalnds, which has extended over
period of thirty years, being now
about to be severed in Difference to
the wishes of the House of Bishops
In the United States, | crave permis-
sion to address you on subject which
appears to me to have very close
and intimate bearing upon the pros
perity of your plantations, and with
them upon the prosperity Of the Is
lands.
am fully aware that the subject
matter of this letter will be regarded
by many as having no bearing what
ever upon the profits of your estates,
but being myself firmly persuaded
on this point, should fail in my duty
were TO leave the Islands without
submitting the matter to your consid-
GRAFTON, whether you accept or reject
what l now proceed to lay before you.
The subject of this letter is the
practice that has been adopted in re-
cent years of keeping the mills grind
ing and trains running on Saturday,
and having everything again in motion
the moment midnight on Sunday is
past.
1t is perfectly true that by this ar
rangement there is apparently aces
sation of labor for seventh of the
week, but only apparently, for though
your machinery has twenty-four hours
rest, your engineers, sugar boilers and
others who attend on your machinery
are only able to secure fraction Of
that period of rest. They are thus
deprived OF Godgiven period of rest
which the human constitution re
quires, and this deprivation diminishes
the value of their work, and so re-
duces the profits which you expect to
obtain by that very deprivation.
On the relation of the institution of
a seventh-day rest TO the human con-
stitution, let me quote the following
| passage from the writings of one who
has made study of the obligations
| of the Lords Day:
Now 1t Is certain from the consti-
tuition of human nature, which is Gods
handiwork, and from practical expert
ence, that man is not capable of en-
| during incessant secular toll, and that
he needs periodical resi- ite from it and
requires spiritual refreshment, if he
is not to degenerate physically, m en-
tally and morally, But although 1t is
evident from natural reason and expe-
rience that some stated portion Of
time ought to be set apart for the wor-
ship of God, and for tn concerns of
eternity, and for the welfare OF our
souls and bodies, 1t. does not appear
evident, from reason or experience,
what that portion ought to be- And
here Revelation comes to our aid; it
tells us of work and repose. The day
Immediately following the six days of
creation was set apart, or consecrated,
as the Sabbath, so called as signifying
