THEOLOGIOO-LEGAL DEOISION.
Justice READ, of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, has published, in pamphlet
form, his opinion in favor of the Sunday
Horse-Cars. This remarkable production
should be noticed by our religious journals.
If the Judge had confined his remarks to
the legal aspect of the subject, it might have
been passed, without special regard from the
religious world, but when he assumes the
extra-judicial function of an interpreter of
the Divine Word, he challenges our criti
cism.
This judicial decision in favor of Sabbath
profanation, touches the most cherished in
terests of Society. By some fatuity this
pamphlet escaped our notice at the time of
its publication, but now, that our attention
has been called to it, we cannot but express
our astonishment at its judicial and theolo
gical utterances, as well as protest against
its ethical tone and tendencies. Perhaps it
is best for us to pass over the judicial utter
ances—whatever we may think of them—
inasmuch as the Judge is presumed to be at
home in his professional sphere.
We are surprised to find, on the fourth
page, this ungrammatical, ard unintelligi
ble statement: "England has an established
Church, and Scotland has another, and nei
ther have any citrol over the other." It
will puzzle the most astute dialectician, to
detect the logical bearing of this unintelli
gible sentence upon the Car Question. And,
then, the writer must needs italicize "have,"
to show the unwary reader, where lurked
the offence against grammar. His quotation
and paraphrase of PLINY'S letter to the
Emperor TRAJAN, is a remarkable instance
of blundering English. "So from Pupv's let
ter it would appear, the primitive Chris
tians met before it was light, for worship
and prayer, which was obviously adopted,
[what was adopted n that it might nlot in
terrupt [what might not interrupt T] the la
bors or occupations of the day—a large por
tion of these early disciples belonging to the
servile and laboring •elasses." Now, the
Judge would have us infer, that because these
early Christians met before it was light,
therefore they observed no Sabbath, where
as PLINY'S letter necessitates the very oppo
site inference. Ikra - NY states, that the Chris
tians were accustomed to meet on a STATED
DAY, state die,—and it is evident, from the
history of that period, that this day was the,
Lord's Day, and that they observed it as the
Christian Sabbath. The pamphlet is full of
just such historical inaccuracies and paralo
gisms.
But the Judge is specially at fault in his
Biblical history and theology. We can only
.notice one or two instances. He assumes
that the Sabbatayas fir ' ' dat the
121
giving of the W Si s eury
fir d
familiar with Bibli y kno'ws,
that the Divine authority i e Sabbath
dates back to the beginning of human history,
and was inaugurated with angelic praise, when
the " morning stars sang together, and all
the sons of God shouted for joy." The Bi
ble is explicit on this point. "On the sev
enth day God ended His work, which He had
made; and He rested on the' seventh day
from all His work which He had made.
And God blessed the seventh day, and
hallowed it, because that in it He had,
rested from all His work, which God created
and made." (Gen. ii. 2,3.) This inspired re
cord, and the peculiar phraseology in the
decalogue: " REMEMBER the Sabbath Day,"
eli.ta,blisb, beyond question, the Pre-Sinaitic
institution of the Sabbath. .
In the second argument, the Judge postu
lates, that "the Sabbath, like all the ceremo
nial and judicial laws of the Jews, was . abroga
ted at the establishment of the Christian dispen
sation." This is an utterly groundless as
•:umption. Christ says: " The Sabbath was
Lade for man;" not for the Jews alone, but
or MAN, in all ages and countries. And
ore than this, he adds : " The Son of Man
Lord, also, of the Sabbath," atid•thnslifts
out of all its mere Jewish associations, and
uts it, unequivocally, among Christian, and
erp etual ly authoritative institutions. Not
oses, but CHRIST , is "Lord of the Sab
iath." It belongs to Him, and Ho authori
y goes with it to the ends of the earth, and
Lo the end of time. The Sabbath- is, there
fore, a part 'of Christianity, and enters with
t into the common law of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, and, as the Sabbath
is violated by devoting it to worldly busi
ness, and by the neglect of Divine worship,
•unning of horse-cars on Sunday, invol
both secular engagements and the neg
if the sanctuary, is, manifestly, a viola
if the common law of Pennsylvania.
ie Judge has utterly failed in his theo
al argument. His plea for the running
cars on Sunday, as a work of mercy
ie poor and laboring classes, is not sus
id by valid reasons, and is contradicted
)undance of facts, that have come un
iur personal observation. We believe,
',ho °obviation of the Christian corn
is, that the•unjudieial and manifest
ibiblical opinion of Judge READ should

PULPIT—ITS WEAKNESS AND ITS
• STRENGTH."
able article upon this topic from the
If Rev. Dr. Graves, of Norwich, is very
istive. While coneeciingipat the
lower in the land, alp aTticle insists
,his power falls quite short of its due
)roper measure, and then prpseeds to
ass the conditions of`its strenieh and
incy. These aro, first, a decidedly and
mglily evangelical character in all oar
it ministrations. Is the pulpit soundly,
earnestly Evangelical? To this it is
believe it is not, and that this is one
causes of its weakness. The relation of
Tics to Christ is too little regaided.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDA.,
The polarity of truth, as Bishop Mcllvaine
has so finely expressed it, is detective. Al
most any theme which is moral in its as
pects and bearings is quite at home in the
pulpit. The discrimination between moral
ity and religion, between humanity and god
liness, is not clear and sharp. We have fallen
upon times when the worldly virtues which
many an atheist possesses arrogate to them
selves the place and worth of Christian graces.
Doctrine is held of little account,—a relic of
the dead past. A man's faith, it is asserted,
has little to do with the question whether
he is a Christian or not. Religion is religion;
the man who does the manly thing is a
Christian or something better, though he
may deny every cardinal doctrine of the
Bible. Do your duty as a man in society;
be true to yourself; don't prate about creeds,
which are half mystery and half obscurity;
God is worshipped most accceptably when
we serve men most faithfully. Piety is quite
below the plane of patriotism, and the Chris
tian Church a long way behind the Christian
Commission.
Sentiments like these, arrayed in the finest
culture of:the age, glowing in the light and
flowing in the numbers of poetry;•inlard-with
much of moral science and geminie&-by the
fascinations of -a brilliant but pretentious
literature, have had an influence iip , en the
pulpit—how should they not? and
.therries
utterly Christless in themselves and in their
bearings have found their way into it, and
many of our churches have become little
more than moral reform societies, as may
be seen by the state of discipline among
them. •
THE PENNSYLVANIA OIL REGION.
OIL CITY, Venango Co., Pa., July 8, 1888
As history is said to repeat itself, s ) do
speculations follow one another in this
favored land of ours. Many of your readers
have doubtlesspainfulremembrances of the
wild speculative oil•fever teat raged to such
a fearful extent in the years 186 and 1865.
The sufferers who invested their money in
swindling oil companies, - of who'se real value
they knew nothing, have obtained experi
ence, if nothing else from their investment
The oil region is not deserving of the odium
bestowed upon it by this class. Scarce half
a•dozen oil companies have ever been form
ed hero, and about all of them proved pay
ing ones. If credulous persons insist upon
boring for oil on Wall-street, this region
should not be held responsible for their
misfortunes.
The possibility of another speculacive
movement in oil lands does not seem re
mote'. The commencement made this sea
son is a fair indication. For the last three
years general stagnation has reigned
throughout the entire region in all branches
of bustnesfi, caused by the collapse of tithe
hundreds of oil companies whose working
capital consisted of a President, Board of
Directors,
an office-room- r ead a race young
man of "fast" preclivities as Superintend
ent. So long as the credulous people could
be fund to buy the, stock, watered to an
extent that would certainly excite the ad
miration of homeopathists, these worthies
lived in clover. The bubble but st at last.
The oil region has recuperated, and is now
being operated upon Sound business princi
ples.
Lands heretofore deemed worthless for
• .
oil-boring purposes are in good demand,
and the extent of territory now ifi course
of development is in extent fully quadruple
that of all the previous years. This de
velopment is being made by the old opera
tors to a great extent, and in all portions
of the oil fields oil is being obtained in pay
ing quantities from a larger per centage of
wells than in any r evious year. Lands
that were freely offered one year ago at
prices ranging from• $lO to $lOO per acre,
are-now held'at $l,OOO. $1,200 and $2,000 pert
acre is being freely paid at PleaSantville oil
field.
The excitement is intense, but has taken
a decidedly practical shape. Lands are
bought now for development and not fol.
speculation. Five dollars per barrel for oil
at the wells pal s, the ,producer very 'hand
somely for producing and devetopment.' Im
provement in machinery and practical
knowledge has materially improved the
chances of obtaining paying wells in the
last few years. At present the demand is
fully equal to the supply, and every effort
it being made to keep up this last to an
average. Those vtrsed in the statistical
history of bnsiness tell us that io keep up
the present daily production it is necessary
to hava not less than .300 new , wells going
down, or rather in process of drilling..
Oil Creek Valley is effectually drowned
out by waters, and the bluffs now supply
he greater portion of its produCtion. The
close proximity of the wells in many of the
choice producing localities ,, -, of the past
season, have suffered from a similar cause.
Wells interfer and flood each other, and
then the territory is held practically worth
less. No one feels inclined to incur the
trouble and expense of plugging up or
casting the wells, and pumping off the
water, so long as an abundance of new ter
ritory, is close at hand, where no annoyance
of the kind exist, at the commencement .at
least: Water-courses and gas veins have
generally the same connections , below the
earth's surface that streams'have above the
same. At least such has been the writer's
experienee the. Oil Region.
The general bearing of oil courses is now
definitely ascertained to be northeast and
southwest, and can be traced the entire dis
tance of producing localities by ,this gene
ral direction, with occasional spfirs like the
Pithole Oil Region. As all these facts are
being ascertained, the oil-miner can operate
wiih more certainty than in former, Yeai's.
This state of affairs will be still further
simplified by practical skill, until oil-mining
can be prosecuted with the same degree of
certainty as any nthertaind of litinitifg:
The principal -new oil fields - are Pteasayf,:
vine and locality, 'Shamburg, and the terri
tory lying adjabelat l to and parallel with
Oil Creek, extending from Rom) to Petro
leum Centre. Good wells have been struck
at various points in this range, and the
work of development is being vigorously
prosecuted. Never to my recollection bus
general business been in a more prosperous
state, or has the future of the Old Region
looked so bright. It would be well for
holders of oil stock 'o be looking up the
same, as these kind of lands are being con
stantly brought into market, and will com
mand fair prices. Oil on the creek and at
the wells in different localities is being sold
at this date at $5 a $5 75 per barrel, and
commands at Oil City $6 per barrel. The
demand is good, and the tendency still up
ward.
