A PLEA FOR THE SABBATH.
The advocates of Sunday horse-cars
us ually represent their opponents as tyran
nical Puritans, interfering arbitrarily with
the rights and %enjoyments of the people.
Let us see if this representation is a just
one . So far as we kruiw, in this community
a t least, the workingman is , understood to
b e entitled to his weekly day of rest. The
farmer stops his plow, the mechanic his
machine, the merchant and manufacturer
shut up their factories and eounting-houges,
n ail in general, the attempt of an employer
c o get Sunday work out of his men would
b e treated as an insult. Are those em
ployed on horse railroads to be regarded'as
a n etception, and deprived of the opportu
city of rest and , relief which is granted to
the meanest and (poorest in other employ
ments ? Whafright has the community to
s ingle out these men and say to thug, "You
alone, of all the multitudes laborincr 6 among
us, shall be compelled to work as hard or
harder on Sundays than on other days ?"
Et' this is freedom and liberality, give us
tyranny and Puritanistn.
It is pleaded that Sunday cars are needed
to take people . to church. So far as this is
true, it justifies only such a moderate
mount of travel as would not materially
inconvenience those employed. But it may
well be doubted whether one-half or three
wurths 'of tlabse who thus ride to church on
tiandays would not be the better for walk
ing instead, and still better for ceasing alto
gether to attend distant churches, and oc
cupying more appropriate places nearer
home.
" But is the poor man to be deprived of
his cheap conveyance, which enables him to
escape from the close and noisy streets of
the town, to breathe the pure air, and to re
joice in the beauty and verdure of the
country ?"
Certainly not, exceptiin Sunday. On that
day the overworked men and cattle of the
horse railroad need their rest, as he needs
his, and he' has no right to take it froin
them. Few indeed', in this true home of
working men, are unable to `command the
means and the leisure every week to get
out, of town for a few hours, without choos
ing Sunday for the purpose. , If not, let
me suggest to them, to do as others do,
live out of town' altogether, and collie to
town daily to their work., If this does not
give them all they want of horse-ear travel,
it will be surprising indeed.
" But why 16ok so carefully after the . ,
in
terest of car drivers and conductors who
make no objection themselves to Sunday
work ?" How do you know they do not
object to it ? Is there a decent working
man anywhere who does not prefer Sunday
rest to Sunday labor ? If those employed
on horse railroads have got to the point of
not caring for this, they would indeed have
become degraded. No; they may not com
plain, for that might lose them their places ;
but they really act under compulsion—the
compulsion not of tyrannical Puritans, but
of money-loving employers or a selfish pub
lic. Unless they fall below the average of
the community, Many of them must feel
that their Sunday occupation is , at least
questionable, if not absolutely wrong. If
so, what right have you to tempt them to
violate their consciences, or to do habitual
ly what their better - feelings disapprove.
" But shall the rich man go about Sun-.
days in his carrige, and, the poor be shut
out from his cheap conveyance ?" And
suppose a rich man violates the sanctity'of
the Sabbath; is that' a reason for 'compel
lag many working men to do so ? We
cannot interfere with the rich man's car
riage so long as he exercises only his rights
of property, but .we can interfere to pre
vent the abuse of the privileges granted to
a corporation.
We may fairly assume that in this Chris
tian country the Bible is received as the
word of God, and that a large majority of
the people admit it to 'be a wise and safe
guide for their conduct, and are willing to
protect those who believe and obey it. In
fact, the establishment of a weekly day of
rest is due solely, to the Bible, and our laws
not only recognize the right of all citizens
to be released on that day from all labor
themselVes, but the right to be protected..
fromdisturbance or interference ivith their
worship of God. The Bible tells us that
for thousands.cat years the law of God has
enjoined upon all men supreme love, rever
ence, worship and obedience to God, and
sincere good will to all men, shown by
kindness, due subordinagon and itspect for
the persons, the rights and the property of
all. In the very centre of-this perfect code,
which all the philosophy of man has been
unable to improve upon, occurs a positive
and elaborate injunction to observe a weekly,
day of rest, on the express double ground
of its original solemn consecration to the
worship of God and its necessity for the
laboring classes—" that thy man-servant
and thy maid-servant may rest as well as
thou."
Now, though many in this community
are in the habit of disregarding, to a greater
or less extent, this divine law, we may
safely assert that a large majority are will
ing and even desirous that it should be re
cognized at least by their neighbors. You
may be too indolent or too fond of amuse
meat to go to Amok yourself, but you
like to know that your wife and children
are there.. You would .rather meet your
clerk or bookkeeper on his way to meeting
than on a pleasure excursion, so-called, with
a cigar in his mouth, behind a fast horse,
and beside a fast young friend, of either
SeX• Yon do not expect a• laborer or me
chanic or tradesman to treat you less honor;
abl, during the week because he has spent'
Sunday in endeavoring to reg ain t t he healthy
tone of both body and mind. And how
ever little you yourself, enjoying perhaps
superior advantages of leisure and culture,
may feel a need of the Sabbath for this
purpose, you would not be willing to take ,
the responsibility of depriving others of its
aid.
These views are not only just, but they
are confirmed by history and experience.
It is the uniform testimony of criminals
that they began the downward path by
breaking the Sabbath. The most irreligi
ous philosophers admit that human nature
requires the rest of one day in seven. The
only attempt ever made (by infidel France)
to substitute one day in ten, proved a fail

tire ; and even Theodore Parker has record
ed his judgment that the Puritan Sabbath
of New England, with all its evils, (as he
regarded them,) is preferable to the Sunday
of Paris.
In view of these facts and considera
tions, may we be permitted to ask the fol
lowing questions :—.
1. Is it right to, allow the public worship
of God on the Sabbath to be interfered with
by the perpetual rumbling of cars through
our streets, and tinder the very 'windows of
our churches,' as by the additional
disturbance andinterrnption •to foot passen
gers thus-created ?•
2. 4-re we 'willing to' take the responsi
bility of' holding out a constant temptation,
especially to, young men (who need all the
help in virtue that a devoutly spent Sabbath
can give 'them,) to leave the, church and
- Sunday-school and go in search 'of such
pleasure as Siind'ay parties, liquorand gam
bling`haunts, or the theft of flowers h an
unripe fruit can procure them ? We claim,
and very justly, the right to prohibit even
lawful traffic on that day, and unlawful
traffic on, all other days, on the ground of
protection to public morality. Are we sure
that, we If ve a right to leave this tempta
tion in everybody's way ?
3. Are any of vs willing to decide that,
so far as we are concerned, there shall be
no Sabbaths for huridreds or thousands of
working men and animals ? We cannot
doubt that they would be all the better for
the same weekly rest that we enjoy our
selves.
We cannot doubt that all the animals
and many of the men woultl prefer it; and
that those who would not, are the more .to be
pitied and the more in need of Sabbath in
struction. We cannot doubt that it is, on
the whole, safer to obey the law of God
than to disregard it. We believe that,
hereafter, our personal' relations to that
law and to the Lawevei, will be of
immense importance to each of us. Are we
wiliing now to throw our influence in the
scale of antagonism to that law, and to take
the responsibility of compelling them to
spend the day of rest in unnecessary labor,
and to for*, all those helps of religious
worship and, instruction Which we dare not
forego cinrielves; Or' allow'our families and
dependents to forego, and which •in our
hearts we believe to be indispensable to the
safety and welfare of society ? And when
every one of, us shall give account for him
self to God, shall, we find it enough to say,
"Am I my brother's keeper ?"—Boston,
Traveller.
THE REUNION QUESTION IN ENGLARD
AND-SCOTLAND.
In the late meeting of the English Sy
nod of the U. P. Church, the subject 'of
Reunion was handled in two carefully
prepared and able papers. The first,'by
Rev. Wm. Graham was on " Tendencies
to Reunion:" We make 'a feiv extracts.
He said :--
The doctainal question is the only one that
stands in the way. On the latter it is surely
enough to affirm that the United Presbyteri
an Church in its present health, only braced
by the stormy winds of controversy, be ac
cepted as a proof that whatever be in it—
and, atter all, there is nothing but'words—it,
does not affect the health, except-favorably,
of any Christian, and.even of any Calvinistic,
Church ; and, moreover, the prospective
union of the two great American Churches,
which separated ostensibly on the same
ground, is a proof that they do' not think it
fatal to such a result. . . Could the
,question
of union be remitted to some of these select
purged spirits before the throne, I think at
one glance the Red.Sea.would-divide and be
come dry, land, and the wilderness of our
barren disputes would at once be turned into
a peaceful garden.-of-the Lord. And the
more we have of, that 'spirit which was, ) in
them, •the more shall we be endowed with the
burning love that shall consume grudges and
suspicions, and the brightening intellect that
shallpierce through the very heart, of .truth,
and therefore of union. It is, I believe, in
some such way that our four points ofdiffer
enc,e are to be met. Ido not know that they
are best met by an attack in front. Perhaps
a movement from a higher and more distant
region would turn their flanks effectually. It
was so with the famous Venetian Quathilate
ral.. There they were, the Tour points ke,ep
ing back the long-delayed desire of the nation
for a united Italy. The brave men attacked
them in front. They crossed &lie Mincio
with flying banners;, they recrosill the Min-.
cio with drooping banners. and 'the°i nation
was baffled; indignant, almost, despairing:.
But far away on other fief& their enemy was
weakened and , defeated, and in -that hour,-
when least expected, the' Quadrilateral was
let It may be so in our, case.' We • rasy
be perplexed and baffled by taking up our
differences in detail; but let us, weaken the
;spirit. of disunion in -other quarters_ and
strengthen the hold of other and grgatei
truths and influences and then it, shall'dome
to pasS that, as with, the inapregnable Italian
fortresses, our quadrilateral too will give way,
our peace be furthered, and from side to side.
of our Church, from its Alps to its Adriatic,
amidst tears of wonder and shouts of triumph,
the union will be at last proclaimed.
Mr. Graham referred to " the men , of,
Roman severity and antique Christian
temper, who•are very jealous of the rights
of the smallest truths."
Men who think they are like - Leonidas and
the three hundred Spartans standing in the
narrow and rocky defile of Therniopylw, but
thus and Seri all the more guarding and, se
curing most effectually the whole fatherland,
of truth. Let us in these controversies re
member that these men have their use, and
their noble uses too ; while, at the same time,
you eliould never fprget that God's word like
God's world has mountain ranges of truth,
which, wore than others are essential to 'the
existence and stability of' the whole structure.
Surely the truths which centre in the Divine
person and atoning death ,of Christ, are those
which mark and mould •the whole ; upon
these true, indeed the only true, unions are
formed—mnions deep in their foundations and
dUrable in their effects.' The right state ,, of
the spiritual atmosphere is that in , whielvwe
see the great outlines of God's truth standing
high in genial yet clear light, partaking 4 the_

Rev. Dr. King followed with a paper
on the presmit position of the Union
Question. We quote an important para
graph :
Another subject of inquiry is doctrine. We
had once•a doctrinal discussion in our body, and
the Free Church is anxious to know that we
came out of it without bringing heresy with
us or leaving orthodoxy behind. (A laugh.)
It was my lot to know intimately the leaders
in that debate to which such importance is
attached. After having heard all they had
to say in public and in private, I affirm that
it was much more a complication of circum
stances than any serious' contrariety of views
which set them at variance. (Applause.)
The Synod was reluctantly dragged into the
strife,. and so far from evincing any propensi
ty to innovate, its doctrinal action was strictly
preservative. It maintained inviolate the
doctrine'of the Atonement, and all the special
securities of• God's chosen, while holding
what all the fathers of the Secession held, and
what constituted the life and soul of their
preaching, that salVation 2 through the death
of Christ, is to be proclaimed and proffered
to every sinner of mankind. (Loud cheers.)
Their latitudinarianism, if so it is to be called,
lay in clinging_to a free and bona Me offer of
the Gospel and in disclaiming all interpreta
tion of other articles which would reduce that
offer to a contradiction and a nullity. That
such was the amount of our finding has been
seen and owned by the most eminent theolo
gians of various religious connections. We
have a commission to preach the Gospel to
every creature. What we have refused to
say in preaching it, is, that to multitudes so
addressed, it has no relation. Proclaim sal
vation to multitudes through a sacrifice un
related to them, and _having no reference to
them ! That would be another Gospel or no
Gospel. If, with such a message, we under
_kook a voyage of evangelization, we should
ut to see in a ship with the bottoth struck
out of it—(Hear, hear)---and so deservedly
sink with it h the mighty waters. (Ap
plause.) I hope that on all sides this article
will be respected, and that a Church so pre
cious to the country as the Free Church will
have as the brightest gem in its freedom the
free offer of the Gosriel. (Applause.)
CREDULITY OF DEISM.
The Deist is obliged to admit that there
is a book in existence, which purports to
contain a revelation from - God ; and as. the
basis of its authority, a record of various
miracles, professedly performed by Jesus
Christ and his apostles. The Deist believes
that these miracles were never performed ;
still he must admit, either that they were
pretended to be performed, or they were
not; and in either case he stands convicted
of credulity. It he takes the ground that
they were pretended to be performed, whije
yet it was a mere matter of imposture; he
is obliged to believe that a multitude of the
most competent witnesses, and among them
the most Malignant enemies, in circum
stances the-most favorable for detecting im
posture; and for several years in succession,
were actually deceived. If he says they
were not pretended to be, performed, he has
to admit theanomaly in human experience,
that such, a record of them as the Bible
coutains, was made at the very time when
the imposture, if it were one, was most
open to detection; that it'circulated first.
among the very persons who would`` have
been most interested and most able to de
tect it, and yet never even pretended to
call the facts in question. If he will have
it that the record of these miracles was not
mide - tliiiing the age in which they were
professedly performed, but that it was
palmed upon some succeeding age, still he
is obliged to admit that the whole mass of
historical testimony fixes the date of' this
record` to nearly the time in which they
were alleged to be performed ; and more
than that, that a record of facts purportino•
to have occurred under observation of the
people to whom the record was first given,
could have beeirreceived by them as a true
record, when, at the same time, no• such facts
had ever come within their knowledge.
Again : the Deist is• obliged to admit, that
the Bible purports to ,contain various.pre
dictions of future events; - and if he com
pares-these predictions with the history of
the world, or even with passing events as
they fall under his own observation, he
cannot resist ghe conviction that there is-a
most wonderful correspondence between •
them. Look, for instance, at the curse
that was originally pronounced: upon Ham,
and see how it has been,executed, to the
very letter, in the doom ,of his posterity..
Look at, the, predictions with which the
Old'TeStarnent abolindS, in respect to the
progress of the Gospel, and the dispersion,
of the Jews, and their preservation among
!all nations ,as a . distinct: people, and see
'whether the history is not an exact counter
part' of the prophecy. These are facts
which the Deist cannot
,deny, unless he
:shuts his eyes upon the light; and yet he
believes_, that the prediction has no relation
to, the event, except as a fortunate conjec
ture. :He is obliged, upon his own princi-:
ples, to admit that men having no commu
nion with divinity, h'ave . predicted the
most improbable and distant events; and
yet that circumstances have unifoiinly
cc
curred in such a mawier as to,l3ring about.
the fulfilment of their predictions: Does
this look as if he were free from credulity ?
Again : if the Deist takes the Bible in
hand, and seriously examines its' contents,
much as he may be disposed to cavil, he
will find it difficult to resist the conviction
that there is wonderful harmony in all its
parts; that the Prophecies and the histories,
the doctrines and the precepts, the Old
Testament and the New, all have - the same
object in view, and are tending toward the
same graniPresult. If the had' been
written by an individual the'compass
of a single life, the harmorOhat exists be
tween its different parts might' have been
accounted for with comparative ease; but
,when you.take int& view the fact that this
book was written .by various individuals, of
'different, modes of education, of different
habits, and counyips, and : ages, thrpeghp,
period of, many centuries, the admission
that there was no Divine insPiration, no
harmonizing, infallible influence, from on
high, takes for granted a degree of credulity
that' cannot easily be surpassed. lii believ
ing this, the Deist believes contrary to all
reason and evidence. To suppose that
,such a coincidence, in -such circumstances,
should be accidental, were nothing less
than to attribute to accident the power of
working miracles.
Again : the sober Deist cannot resist the
conviction that the Gospel has been a bless
igand. that it has,triumphed
so n eveemr t to
seemed
theins world, :p t s ale e s rble. Let him , for instance,
which, to- human view,
compare those countries in which the light
of Christianity shines, with those from
which it is excluded, and he will be com
pelled to admit that Christianity has done
much to ameliorate the temporal condition
of men. Let him contemplate the influ
ence she has exerted in improving human
governments; the provision she has made
for the relief of human woe ; the milder
and better form into which she has cast the
human character, and the joyful triumph
with which she has inspired many a, human
being on the bed Of death—let the Deist
contemplate all this, and resist, if he can,
the conviction that the Gospel has been a
blessing to the world; that' it has fallen in
with man's best interests;ankso far afleast
as the present 'life is Concerned, is adapted
to make him happy. But the Deist be
lieves, after all. ' that this is a system of im
posture—that Jesus. Christ was not what
he claimed to be—the Son of God; and,
of course, all that he did, and all that his
disciples did after him r was to. he consider
ed merely as the work of - deceivers. What
a credulous being must he be to believe
that deceivers could conduct in such a
manner as this,; that they should have
originated a plan which was itself nothing
better than bare iniposture, the natural and
only tendeney of -which was to bless the
world ! Especialjy, how credulous to be
lieve that qba .has smiled upon this impos
turel_and carried -it forward by all the ar
rangement's of his providence, until.every
thing indicates that its prevalence is to be
universal.—Rev. Dr. Sprague s in Evang.
