SANBATH ODSERVANCE- "] Tothe Kawtor of The Chicaco Tribune: Cmicago, March 3,—If the discussion of the Philosophy of tho moral law, which you nave so | courtcously permitted, haa awakened a new in- terest in its study, a good end has been attained. While Ihave been seeking to placo it, with its own inherently divine characteristics, beforo the minds of your readers, I have been renily grate- fal to my critics for the views presented by them. Dogmatic theology pseses current only with tho thonghtless and subeervient. if tho moral law, inallita specifications, canmbt rise above the specutations of scientista and tho of sectaries, it is timo that itwas known. If that law shall be fonod written in the heart of the Christian, by the spirit of God, according to the prophecy of Jeremiah, as indelibly as it was wntten. on she? rocks by Goed’s band. its perpetuityy. is s-established, and all other theories are idle, however plausible they msy.seem, All that is needed to settle this qusstion is for each person to test the quality and extent of his regard for each pre- cept of the moral law, beforo and after his con- version: - If the test shall ‘‘abow tho work of the faw written in their hearts,” speculation and criticism Lave ended their vocation. ‘This, with~ al, 13 more convincing with the Christian than tho best logical argumentation. Theorists need the logic of provfs that cannot be oabeured by the arts of sopnistry or the prejudices of accepted creeds. To create the undoubted conviction of the perpetuity of the mora! law bas been the object of my arguments. My first article published ia Taz Tamcxe of Nov. 20 was designed to show that the moral Jaw contained two affirmations that were pu: in form before men had siuned. These were tho Sabbath law for mon’s religious nature, and the family law for his socis] nature. These were embodied as affirmative precepts in the moral law, a8 codified by God bimeelf, and given to the people in the only direct address that God aver personally made with voice and hand to an assembled congrogation. Following the lead of “Inquirer,” ail my critics have ig- nored entirely the social law, se if satisfied to Jet it remain in allitsintegrity, aud have seomad specially anxious to dethrone the Sabbath law. y this distinction ? Both were given to man, and created for man while ia a sinlesa state. The fsmily Isw is universally accepted as the law of social life. Do not my critics rest joy- folly in it as am earthly paradigo, and weep, as they never otherwise weep, when the charmed circle is broken? When 80 bleased in the law of social life, why do they strive 6o hard to ignore and diaprove and give over to the Jewa only the law of their religious life, that binds in fellow- ship with God, in spiritual communion as closo- ly and joyfully ag they are bound in the famity the social more desirable and ‘The social law re- circle ? valuable than the spiritual? — mains in ite integrity; the spiritual Jaw has been broken. ‘The perpetuity of the moral law has been well vindicated, by its own philosophy by its position in a codified form, directly writ- ten ond spoken by God, by the authority of the prophets, by Jesus Christ and His Apoaties, and by the fathers in the Church. It is taught in almost every pulpit in the land, and by nearly all preachers and churches. Tho idea that the moral law or any part of itis Jewish, and was abolished by Christ, is seen to be unsound. The conviction that the Jaw is wnitten by the epirit on the heart ia eatisfactory. Thus by many clear and unequivocal proofs is the moral law vindicated. On the basis of the integrity and perpetuity of the morsl law snothor theory of interpretation is given, evidently to harmonize the practice of the orthodox church with that law. This is ex~ pressed by the Rov. Dr. Fallows in his excellent sermon for the Sabbath against Sanday theatres, in the language, ‘The command to keep the seventh day, therefore, whatever enact portion of time it meant to Ieracl, can only mean to the .world in general + one dsy in seven.” * Your correspondent, “E. J.P.” of Logangy Ind., contains the same thought in the expression, “If one day out of the seven is observed as & reat-day, and the other six are devoted to labor, the com- mand is kept in the letter and the epirit.” He further says, ‘The Lord blessed not Saturday or Sunday, bat the Sabbath-day, or reat-day,—i. e., mado it a bleseing. I say then that the Goatiles keep the commandment—the unchangeable Isw of God—by keeping Sanday as the Sabbath, just as truly as the Jews who keep Saturday.” ‘This theory is an improvement oo the no-law theory. If it can be clearly maintained, it should be accepted. Is *E. J.P.” correct in the ex- ression, “The Lord blessed not Satarday or anday, but the Sabbath-day or reat-day"? ‘The Isnguage in Gen. ii., 3, is, ** And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.” The thought is clear that it was the day that waa blessed and sanctified, thus making it the Sabbath. Ht was not the Sabbatic institution that was blesaed, but it was the day that was blessed and sanc- ised, aod by thst blessing and eanc- titication the day was made the Sabbath. The reason given why the seventh day was blessed, was, ‘ Becanse that in it Ho had rested from all Hia work which Ged created and made.” God’s rest was, in the seventh day, in the order of the “days of tho crestion-week, and vot in one in- definite day in seven ; therefore any one day in goven cannot take the place of the particular seventh day ss the Sabbath. ‘Any one day in seven, to be the Sabbath, must have the conditions that made the Ssbbath. Some of these conditions are: God ended His work on the seventh day; He rested on the sav- enth day. He blessed the soventh day; He sanctified the seventh day ; He blessed and sanc- tified the seventh day because that in it He had- rested from all His work which God created and made, His rest on the seventh day waa in the creation order of days. No other day but the seventh in the crea- tion order haa the necessary conditions of the Sabbath. Goddid not end His work on the first day of the woek or Si y- He did not rest on Sunday. Hedid not bless and He did not sanctify Sunday. Sunday is not s memorial of God's rest-day. The conditions that made the day the Sabbath cannot apply to the first day of the week, or aoy other day, but the par- ticularone named in the law of the Ssbbata. The seventh day on which God rested was coo- stituted a memorial of that rest, and that memo- rial testifies that in six days God created all things. Each returning Sabbath is a memorial of the fact tbat God made all things, and ia thus a weekly rebuke of Atheism. This lesson of the Sabbath is lost by tho substitution of any other day in the place of the one God blesyed and sanctified. Tosay that the first day of the week ia the Sabbsth is making the day on which God commenced Hig work the memorial of Hus fio~ ished work. Tbe septenary order is also broken by the substitution, if the change made immedistely from the seventh to tbe first, there are no intervening arx days to fill up the number of seven days. of Sunday eriticiam NUMBER. 192, If the seventh day is omi ; omitted another.

Gout did bless and sanctify the soventh aay. It is man’s fault, not God's, if he places nimself out of harmony with God's dofinite unambiguous faw of tho soventh day as tho Sabbath. lt was tho seventh day in the order of days that God blessed and sanctified, and not the speciiic hours that make that day’ in different plseos. The diurnal revolution of tho earth does not disturb the order of the days of the week. It matters not if men Imow or do not know the location of the Garden of Eden. Tho ordor of tho days is establishea. Each revolution of the earth from cach meridian makes a complete dav. Tio day is the same identical dey that commences threo hours and twenty-six minutes earlier at Bostom than at San Francisco. A difference in the identical hours of commencing or ending tho day in different longitudes docs not aifect the identity of the day. If any one, by circumnavigating the globe, should gain or loge one day, that does not change the ordor or identity of tho day. That order was estab- lished in tho beginning. If man has placed imself out of that order by lengthening his day by going westward with it, or has shortened. his day by going eastward against it, ho hus not changed tho order and succossion of the day in suy place, and his basinoss is to placa himself right with that order wherever he may be. It ix no arcumont against any law of God that mar may, and doos, violate it mnoccaily or other wise. One day in soven has many more practical difficulties in its way than the earth’s revolution theory. Its first diificalty is that it contradicts. God's uneauivocal declaration, “The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy Gok” It then igoores all the conditions that made the day the Sabbath, Then it gives man, and not God, the choice of selecting bis’ day of worship, and marks all dsy3 Sabbath days and ail. days secular days, —eccord- ing to the caprice of men or cir- cumstances. God is not responsible for such confusion. The thaory tbat produces it is based on man’s offort to make God's law conform to his circumstances. Till ho comes to the one- day-in-seven theors, Dr. Fallows’ arguments aré clear and unobjectionabte. The origin of the Sabbath at creation, its iecorporation into the ecaloguo, its observance by Chriat and His apostles, ate indwputable facts. God blessed and made holy the seventh day. God calls it “My holy day.” How then isit said, ‘+ Intrin- sically, therefore, one portion of nataral time cannot be holier than anothor”? God's detinition ig unerning: ‘* What God hath cleansoa, that call not thou common.” The * one day in soven” is subject to the same natural order of any partic- ular dsy in seveo. The revulution of the earth affects all alike. This fact bas modified the ‘one day in seven” to “ the seventh portion of time.” That opens the way toa selection of a seventh portion, at pleasure, whether of hours, days, weeks, months, or years, at the caprica or convenience of thoso who rofnso God's blessed, sanctified, soventh-day Sabbath. Thus it is with all liberal constructions of specitio law, to suit conveniences and creeds. “* Ho that believeth not God ath msde him s liar.” If bumaa philosophy contradicts God’s word, which shail the Christian accept? ‘* It is better to obey God than man.” - With your consent, J ahall be glad to notice in smother paper the general proposition of the change of the Sabbath, aad the passages quotedk to prove the change by several of my critics. [ bavo desired that the discussion which you hava go kindly permitted might result in a more gan~ eral and closer atudy of the philosophy of the moral law ; and on that basis anthrone Sabbath, sacrednesa beyond the resch of human philoso- phics. ‘am aiso groatly obliged by the kind spirit manifested by those who have written. : Let che criticism be thorough and radical, reach- ing to the foundation.

REPLY TO “ PURITAN.” To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Cucaco, March 4.—I havo no inclination or reason to take exception to the second discourse: preached by the Rev. Dr. Fallows last Sunday on: tho Sabbath question, although I do not agree| with his view of the subject. Dr. Fallows, how-: ever, presents his side so fairly, so free from! dogmatism and from the ex cathedra atyle of, argument to which the clergy are so generally addicted, that I am willing to let tho case be sub-| mitted to the consciences of readers, to decide as; to each eeems beat. Dr. Fallows cheerfully ad- mits that the most eminent Christians, theolo-: gians, and Fathers of tho . Churcb,) have, im different centuries, differe®’ widely 23 tv whether amusements and even labor aro propor or not on the Lord’s: Day. Thousands of good, pious peoplo wera; donbtless astonished, a3 they Ionrned from Dr.4 Fallows, what thoy never dresmed of before, that; al) along the centuries men of ths Church, emi- nent for their piety, and revered now for thar orthodoxy,—indeed, such great Jights as Luther: sud Zwingle, snd many others equally as great, — were pronounced Szbpbath-breakors, judged’ from the Puritan standpoint. These great and good men deemed it wise and proper to recreate: their minds and bodies on the Sabbath with so- cial and athletic amenities, provided they sso. devoted a portion of the day to mental, moral,‘ and religious culturo, Many thanks to Dr. Fallows for his candid dis- cussion of the theme. Woutd that he had more: imitators in this reepoct in the orthodox pulpit, Tue mas of the clergy, however, are crafty aod too weak in their own faith in the doctrines they presch to allow their hearers, such information aa Dr. Fallows vouchsafes The majority of church believers cling to their creeds, filled as they are with preposterous and: revolting doctrines, such as tots! depravity, end-| less punishment, inherited sin, justification by’ faith, etc. etc., because they suppose that all the sainted and revered of the Church{ in the past have held to tho same as‘ Scripture doctrines. Did “they onca, hear, not from heretical teachers, but from tho] lips of their own pastors, the fact that each and all of these dogmas were at one time the subject’ of long and bitter controversy among the theo- logians and divines, and that men equally pure.| pious, and eminent in the Church took opposite. idea in the debates; that each doctrine waa only eettied and fixed in the creed at Inat by a vote of s Council, called together somewhat” like the tate Plymouth Charch Council ; and that ‘nch yote was often carried by a majority of only two or three in a vote of hundreds, they might think it worth while to investigate the trath of the doctrines for themselves. But that is jase what the clergy do not want. oa I was guite amused at ** Puritan's" criticism, He was trained in echool—how well I know the school by experience—which never allows its pupils to hear but one side of a question. Taught his creed and his catechism by the good mother before he can well read, the Puritan boy toddles away to Sunday-school, there to be dosed till 15 years old with all the different extracts of Calvinistic theology.
