 Ignorance and barbarism fOrmsnO part of the character of men who revere the Lords day. Carry the privileges of this day to the most abjeet on the Globe, and just in the proportion in which they are subjected to its influence, do you eie- {. vate them from their intellectual degrada- ton. It addresses its obligations, and presents its privileges to all orders and classes of men. Conceive then the great mass of community, devoting one day in seven, to the attainment of knowledge i; one day in seven, in searching the Holy Scriptures and then appreciate the bene- fits of the Sabbath.--It is obvious that temporal prosperity will be the natural re- suit of the observance of the Sabbath, if it secured no other blessing than those to which we have already referred. But there are other particulars, in which the tenden- cies of this day, exert most salutary in- fuence on human society. The provis- ion which this day affords as season of rest, to laboring animals, the rest and re- freshment secured to mankind, the neat ness and cleanliness which it promotes, es- pecially among the lower class of men, the softdess and civility of manners which it diffuses throughout community, all these evince that "the Sabbath was made for man." ...

 '~ Blot out the Sabbath, and you blot out the last beam of hope from the troubled aud desponding soul, and "darkness will cover the earth, and gross darkness the people," To you who are Magistrates, and invested with authority, permit me respectfully to say, the ordinance of God and the voice of free people, have ele- .vated you to posts of dignity and power, that you may be the sentinels of public virtue. Never lose sight of this day. You cannot become abandoned while you ob- serve the Sabbath. You cannot put your selves beyond the reach of hope and heav- en, 50 long as you sanctify the Sabbath.
