For tbe Presbyterian Banner
Sabbath Joys.
MY DEAR gives me great
pleasure to read in your late letter, that the
Sabbath is to you the happiest day-in the
week. I have no doubt, that that was ,the.
experience of, the, Psalmist, when he said.:
" Blessed are they that dwell in thy' house,"
and again, " , I,had rather, be a door-keeper
in the house of my God, than to dwell in
the tents of wickedness." The employ
ments and associations of the public reli
gious assetubly,,and of the Christian's pri
vate retirements, on the Lord's day, are
such as to, at once improve and rejoice the
heart. "
I once heard a plain old Scotch lady, ex
press this delight, in an indirect but im
pressive way. ,It was on a cold, stormy
day. on which the first snow of the season
was falling, and falling rapidly. She had
walked the distance .of three miles to the
Church. I expressed some surprise to see
her. She replied, in her broad Scotch ac
cent, " Ah, sir, it would be a sair day that
would k.eep me frac the meetin."
It has been noticed that persons living,
at a distance from their church, are often
the most regular attendants, and that the
changes and severities of the weather have
less effect to hinder their attendance, than
that of persons in the vicinity of !;the plade
of meeting. The matter of attending
church, in these oases, is not left to be de
cided,on each Sabbath morning, but is de
termined upon the general grounds of ob
ligation and advantage. The standing:;
order and rule is, to go. And it Intist,Z
a strong reason that will have influence
enough to occasion a deviation from the
practice.
The exercises of, public worship are
adapted, by the wisdom and goodness of
God, to,promote the best interests of. Men,
as well.as the glory of his.own name. To
pour out their prayers together is a high
privilege to the' people of. God ; to unite {
in singing his praise is as a foretaste or
heaven. To hear the proclamation of the
Gospel,, and, the exposition of •Scripture
dectrine,, is a means of enlargement and
elevation to the soul.
Your• valuation of the religious privi
leges of the Sabbath day, gives evidence of
a mind occupied advantageously with the
truths and duties of religion, And it. is,
1. doubt not, accompanied by a glowing love,
to that Divine Saviourwhose kindness has
provided such a weekly entertainment for
the heavenward pilgrims. ( . )0, that .there
were more to esteem the Sabbath a •delight,••;
the holy of the Lord, honorable. •
With your views of Gospel ordinances,
it will, 1 am sure,, be gratifying to you tei
learn that a. church has been organized'
the neighborhobd of E—. A fetr per.
sons there, petitioned 'Presbytery for sup.
ply of preaching, and this Jed to the forms
Lion of a ehurch. Many persons have
sooiated in the., enterprise, some of whom
had not before indicated any solieitudr.,
about religion or its ordinances.. To a for
of ',these the means of grace have alrendS'.
been greatly blessed, by leading thew 'to'
repentance and faith . in Christ A Sali ,

aspeet is already Shed over the Scene. ,
lately so 'desolate', and the breaking up, .o;

harvest.. :7

If I. ask a Universalist whether

tion, according to the`. Scriptures, is to bF.

The ground of election, according, to. Au

their works." That is, if . Mr. Wesley is
right, men were' cboSen to salvation' not as
sinners, but as already'obedient believera:
They, on their partvfirst willed to belieie
in.Uh r isty' and to , obey him. ; He, on his
part, ip consideration of such faith, and
obedience, fore-appointed them to salvation.
Mr. Wesley does indeed refer the Salve::
tion of sinners to grace. Far *beit froin me
to say that he does not ; butwe .ought, he
thinks, to be :careful-::not ,to ascribe too
much to grace... He is very severe; Cal
vinists for maintain ingthat election lies at
the root of alfgeunine faith and obedierice
—the starting point-of each .believer's halC
vation. grants that Christians• • are
elect,. but, it; was .t,heir faith, their repent
ance, their love, their,good,works forese.,ea,
that influenced the Divine elMice. It was
this that secured their 'election. God fore'l
saw that they would exercise a sounder
judgment than others, and that they wmild
be I dispo,sed to do.what was right,by making
a properimprovement ,e,f his, grace.
,Since
impar ti al justice requires, accordink to y,our ,
olieme i that grace %be 'nbestowed on
enall naen as sinners; and that a:ll“sinriers
should' hive an equal share', the wicked wile
perish. in their, sins -are ; in possession. of
grace, as `yell as the righteous. And their,
stock is just as large. The reasen,,then,
that obedienttb r elievers were fliie-appOin tea to`
salvatibn, Was-not that God`lad a' greater
love for them ? not .that they .received , s,
larger measure of grace, not that they Were
the special objects of his favor; it, was sim
ply this: God foresaw that they 'would have
a larger 'Share of-good sense, andbeinclined
to avail themselves of the saliation placed
within their reach. While, therefore, we
praise. God in exalted strains for his,good,
.nesS and mercy , Arminianism reminds us.
we ought not, in' the overflowing of
,our gratitude, to lose sight Of the fact-that
'at least a respectable -amount-of-credit is
due to ourselVes, But -for loreseen faith
and good works what-..would the Divine
election be? .
To draw this•letter to a conclusion...-. In
Shuman redemption, the Bible represents
election as the antecedent, or •that which
takes the,lead, and liolieesa, as, the conse
quenti pr, that, which 'follows. Eleciien is
the engine; repentance, faith, .love, and
obedience, are the train. Arminianism re
verses this. 'There -repentance; faith, love,
and•obedienee, are the motive 'power, and
;election is the train. Thus, according to
your way,of thinking, it is not the engine
that draws the cars, it is the earsthat drive
the engine. S KITH.
