[Correspondence of the Heratd.} Wasuinaron April 14, 1845. Sunday—Preaching in the Baptist Church—Rev. Mr. Samson—Sketch of the Church, §¢.—Ser- mon. Yesterday being the Sabbath, I went, according to my custon:, to caureh, and having listened to a very good sermon by the Kev. Mr. Samson, pastor ef the 3d Baptist church, 1 concluded to give it the benefit of circulation in the columns of the He- rald, hoping that the numerous congregation to which it will thusbe dispensed, so unexpectedly to its pious author, will benefit by it to its utmost ex- tent, and thus yield to him an abundast harvest herealter, for the good seed now cast upon the wa- ters of this life, Mr. Samson is a very young man in appearance. Those who casuaily step iato the chureh where he ministers, und are unacquainied with him, gene- rally believe that they are listening to a young man of from 20 to 22 years of age, so youthful are his his reget He is nevertheless 26 years of age.— He regeived his ministerial education at Brown University, in Rhode Island, the State founded by the refugee Baptists, who were driven frem Ma: chusetts by the persecution of the Puritans. Thi university ispresided over by Dr. Wayland, the author of the ‘‘Moral Science,” and present presi dent of the Geueral Convention of the Baptist de- nomination, and its graduates take a high stand- ing tor classical, literary, and scientific attain- mente The Church over which Brether Samson exercises the pastoral care, is of very recent formation, dating only between two and three years ago. At that time come few individuals, who were attendants on Divine Service at very inconvenient distances from their residences, met together and determined to organize a new iaterest. The necessary steps were taken anda temporary place for meeting, in a convenient, central place, washired. Vari- ous ministers and elders took part in the endeavor to ex- vite such an awakening of mind and spirit among the at tendants at worship as should lead them to renounce the world @nd its vanities, and embrace religion, and devote themselves to a life of piety and godiiness. Amon, others, the celebrated Elder Knapp came to the city, an laboted for a considerable period in their midst. These efforts were blessed, and were successful. A it awakening ensued. Numbers were converted. tisms were frequent, until a goodly number, exceed ‘one hundred, were gathered into the fold. having been thus formed, resolved upon taking the neceseary steps to erect a place of worship. This was carried out. Subscriptions were obtained, a lot purchased, and building commenced, but it is not yet complete: e basement part is finished, @ad it is one of the finest lecture rooms in which I have ever been. In this room the church and congregation meet for worship, and are now engaged in a vigor fort to raise the necessary funds to pay off some debi which is resting fea them, and to complete the building, £0 as to have it fit for use. The church, however, was, as yet, without netated pastor, ond, after due and del:berata consideration, they revoived (o invite their present laborions and useful minia- terjto take the over right ofthe flock, he bav.rg previously preached bcforethem. and having just compieted his uni- versity education He accepted the charge, ond has been for thapost two ears zealously and efficiently engaged in preaching the word of lifs to his church. His Jabors have beem very successiut, and the church now numbers upwards ef two hundred members—having increased, feom a very small beginning to this extent, in the spacc of three years. The great mojority--say five-sixths—of these mombers, consist of young persons; the much larger half being females. “Th aster and church are both yonng ; the church is you its constitution, and the members are young in years, and let us he} flock and the Losi Beni will go hand in hi path of wisdom and piety to their latter d: parative youth of the members induced the worthy pastor to commence a series of discourses on the doetrines held by the denomination, se aa:o instruct them and ground them well in the , and to turnish them with reaso: wherewith to sustain their profes questions of those who asked them for faith that was in them.” I will, then, proceed to thc ser. mon, to which I listened yesterday, and which, being enc the course, was on the InstiTUTION OF THE SABBATH. ‘Tho text will be found in the Gospel by Sark, 24 chap ter, 21th and is in these word! ‘The Sabbath was made for man. Brotser Samson ssid :—The words we have real are the words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. They are his declaration in reference to an important religious duty which is binding upon the whole human race. His jertion is “The Sabbath w: le for Man” There are some who have supposed that the keeping of the Sabbath was one of the ceremonial duties of the Jewish binding on Jews alone, and not on Christians. But have such rightly ied this declaration of the (Sa. viour? We acknowledge the duty of observing the Sab- bath is not so fully and so clearly taught in the New Tes tament as are some other Christian duties. Yet there is one deeply important thought, which we ought ever to bear in mind in connection with this consideration. It is jus to withhold from God what he has de- mi to give him more than ho requires. If on the one hand we are not bound by the law ot God to keep she Sabbath, and yet we give hima day he has net re- quired, certainly it can do us no harm, and it cannot piease him; but rather it will prove to be of immenss jiritual benefit to ourselves, and cenrot but be most plessing to Gad. If,:however, on the other hand, God has commanded “us to “observe the Sabbath, and we through careless neglect, of pride of iitellect, overlook this command, ahd violase our duty to keep noly the Sab thecongequences Upon us may be disastrous and pa bayond aka we ore able to con: e. We believe, ho’ that God hws not left us to be guided by a mere reference to this subject; but that he has ent as clearly es he has many other a tian duties indeed as plainly as can be expected in @ gospel which teaches not so much particular duties as iy ly pelene ofobligation With these sentiments deeply fixed in our minds, let us proceed to censider the Christian duty of religiously observing one day,of the week. ‘The Sabbath was made for man,” Christ says. Weshould expect, then, that God would, in some manner have taught this duty to mankind generally. ‘We know that the knowledge of God and of obli- gation to him is general'y—so far es wo Vorgaliy—diffuied av AM nati earth ied ok = the Sabbath the rest da as appointed by rm m: ft a should seen suppore that God would in some way furnish ull men with some knowledge of this duty.

Two men ggith equapy loaded wagons and the same number of horses” journeyed toget! st to the ‘far west.” ° During the firet six days they travelled to gether by day and encamped together by nigh'.— But when the Sabbath came round, one ef the two rested ‘on the Sabbath, according to the commanament, while the other pursued his Journey. On Monday morning this lattag wan, of course, one day's journey in advance of his fettoR-traveller. Bat ere Saturdty night, the hindmcst overtook the foremost, and at night encamped a consider able distance in advance of him, having travelled farther in six days than his friend did in seven. While, however. the former rested ogain onthe Sebboth, the latter passed beyond him—but wes much less than a day’s journey in aivance. The next week was worre ‘or him than the first ; and the third still worse ; until at Jength the one who observed the Sabbath passed emtirely beyond and out of sight of hiscompenion, The keeper of the Sabbath reached the place of deetination several days first, hearty and vigorous himeelt, with his beasts as ‘resh and ac- ens when the: ed. The breaker of the Sabbath arrived some days later, worn out and ¢xhausted himself, and with his beasts so jaded ae to be almost entirely unfit for use. Such a fact—one out of many—how impressive- ly does it teach that “the Sibbath—the rest dey—was made for man?” Aod then again the mind of man—his intellectual nature—absolutely needs a day of r The rent, anxious to see his child improve in useful know- ledge, and the teacher, equally anxious for his pupil, all acknowledge this preci Every teacher gives to his scholars, not only the Sabbath, but another additional day, two out of seven, as daysof reat, And, besides, every wise teach in Addition, whole weeks, an‘, as the 8 in bis course, whole months of rest from when the miod has coms to the maturity of manhood no less does it need its seasons of recreation and rest. God has ade the human mind that it muat hi rest. The pious and eminent English force, lived to a good old age, while temporeries, Pitt and Sheridan end to the grave in the pri of life; end he attributed his perior and longer continued health mainly to the fact, that he observed thi baths, giving to his mind a day's rest from h ‘atesman, while they neglected the Sabbath and were worn out by constant mental care the mind of man bears it the Sabbath—the rest day G, APRIL 20, 1849. —— suits, need rest; end therefore the Sabbath is needed day of rest. But the eoul of man has its moral nec: ties. It 0 be fitted for » higher world by religious study and contemplation, and by pious communion with God. Yet we kuow that we are so made that cur minds cannot be employed upon two subjects at once. The thoughts may , and indeed do, pass very rapidiy from ove subject to another; but two subjects cannot he same mo ments be in ourminds. We cannot be diligently employed ia worldly business and at the same time be thinking ot heavenly things, reading the Holy Word of God, and iift- ing our hearts in adoration to him. True it ought daily to have seasons, when he turns aside for a few moments from worldly business to attend to these higher duties ; but we all know that the cares of the world are so engrossing that those seasons are not sufi- cient to meet the necessities of our nature. We need to havea whole day for religious contemplation. As we awake in the morning free trom worldly thoughts, to give the mind at once to heavenly subjects, and there all the ours of the day te have it fixed. If body and mind need the Sabbath for rest, how much more our souls need it for spiritual improvement, that they may be learning to en- gage in employments fitted to them—the spiritual em- ployments cf heaven. If heaven is ‘the rest that re. maineth for the people of God,” how true is it “ the Sabbath wes made for man,” as a rest day of preparation for that future state. Aud it is striking to notice another ‘act in addition to this first truth, that the necessities of our nature show us God has uppoiuted aday of rest. In the second place :—The race of man generally Lave ob- served one day in seven #8 a day of rest and religious im- Prevement. It is intcresting te ‘notice how wide spread umong the nations of the earth has been the divieion of time into weeks or periods of seven days. ‘This division was observed by the principal nations of Asia, and Africa and Europe. Ponrnyny, the great encmy of Christianity, jays—** I'he Phoenicians consecrated one day in eeven as holy” Dio Cassius, the great Roman historian of the second century, in speuking of the introduction of the division of bint into sevens, says, that the custom was derived from the Egyptians ; and adds, that it universally prevailed. And this was true not only on the continents of Asia end Africa, but in Europe also. Homer, the earliest Greek poet, drepa tnis expression— Alterwards came the seventh, the sucred day.” Heston, the earlivst Greek historian, makes this decluration-.“‘ The seventh day is hely ” Josreaus, the Jewish historian of the Apostles’ day, cays “no city of Greeks or Barbarians can be found whick does not acknowledge a seventh day’s rest from labor.” Also Putto, a Jew of the same age, asserts, “ The seventh day is a festival to every nation.” Tisuxavs also, the great Roman poet of the age immediately bef Christ, says ‘The seventh day which is kept holy by the v also a festival of the Koman women.” And that this division of time was observed alse in the North of Kurope aa well ae ia the South, even the names of our days are sufficient evidence. |.’ days of our wgeks bear the names of the b&gthen of the North of Ku rope, thus showing thi Papen habitants of modern France, Germany, En) % ‘other countries, even when they were heathen, divided their time iato weeks of seven days each, naming the several days after their various deities—Sunday in honor of the Sun; Mon- day in honor of the Moon; Tuesday in honor cf their god Quisco ; Wednesday ot Woden ; Thursday of Thor ; Friday of Friga; Saturday of Seater. Thus we find that among notions who had received no knowledge of God from his written revelation, there yet has been an ac knowlegment of the duty of keeping the Sabbath. Some have escribed this uniform custom of dividing days into periods of time to the fact that the neathen have observed the quartering of the moon ; as the moon we know makes a complete revolution in twentynine daya,thus quartering every seven days But even it this sign of nature mighi iaave Led to thedivision of days into weeks, it couid not have led to the religious observance of one day out of seven. The facta we nave referred to cannot be accoun- ed for on any other princi hs Creation and fromthe days of Noub, the} traditi Sabbath has been ghanded down to’ all generatio: ailnations of men, that tradition being confirmed necessities of every man. It is the universal voice of the whole world of God’s rational creation, heartfelt acknowledgement, ‘ The Sabbath wi man.” But we turn from this convincing evi ten on every page of the book of natnre, and we take up the Bi the Book of Ged’s Revelatien, to examine what this teaches on the subject be‘ore us, tat “the Sab- bath was mide for man.” We have hardly opened it when. we find written on the first page in the very 2d chapter of Genesis, this declaration: '* Aud God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” We notice here that the Sabbath was appointed for our frst parents—foi the ancestors of the whole humon race. We notice also the reason—the object of the duty enjomed is a general licable to the,whole race of man.@The day is ‘iven that men may honer God as the author of creation their Creator and Benefactor; who et ployed for six deys his mighty power and matchless wisdom in fitting up the world for man’s happy residence ; ana then rested on the seventh day. Itis given also that men may rest that he may refresh his weery body er the week's toil; and that his burden e4 spirit. too, may have sweet rest in communion with Gov, maki preparation for and enjoying a foretaste of that reat which a 3 the people of God. Thus, on it: Conneciion with the histery of man’s hes the duty of ell men to keep the Sab. bath. We find no special mention of the observance @: the keeping of the Sabbath during the history of the pa triarchs;{nor should we expect it in so briet and compic{ hensive a history; yet there are scattered all along ailn sions which lead us to infer the during the patriarchal age. Thus we read in the 4th chapter of Genesis, that ‘in the process of time” Cain and Abel brought their offerings to the Lord. +) “in the process of time,” literally is, “in the end of day: end the plain intimation of the pessoge is, that it was the ordinary custom of Cain and Abel “‘ at the end of day s”— at the close of each successive interval of a number o! days, these immediate descendanis of Adam het a their offerings to theLord. And who can reasenably deubt that it was on eack seventh day they brought these offer- ings? Agaia,in the history of Noah, we find also evi- dence that the division of days into wecks was observed, for we find Noah repeat en at intervals of seven da’ till more, when the Jews were passing through the wilderness from Egy pt, and be- fore tiey had reached Mount Sinsi we find them observ ing the Sabbath, by gathering double the quantity of manna on the sixth day of the week, because the seventh day was the Sabbath. Thus before the law was given on Mt. Sinai, the children of Israel are tound observing the Sabbath; and it is spoken of in a manner so incidental as to show that it was a customary thing; and how we ask, could this custom have arisen, and they have felt it a re- ligious duty to observe the Sabbath, unless that origina: comand, given to man, had been considered binding o: all? And thus we are brought down to the giving of the jaw on Mount Sinai. The fourth of the ten commands written on the two tables of stone, we find relates to this duty. The command is, ‘‘ Remember the Sabbath day, to Keep itholy;” and then it is added that both man and beast should refrain from all work on that day ; and the reason for the obser vi rested on that day | { and wae it. ¥ +73 a, Soe is the same as that genera igen to Adom—it inept | f oes Jews only, but for the world. Farther, we reason for the observance is the same—it is general in its character. I/, instead of the Sabbath, the duty of observ. ing the Passover had been enjoined in the fourth com- mandmezxt, or if the reason for observing the Sabbath hac been such an one as this -for.the Lord brought thee out of bondége in Egypt—then|we might have snpposed this commana was only for the Jews; but it is the Sabbath which is commanded, ani the reason is general. Auwi this leads us still farther to notice these ten commands are every where taught to be a summary of natural law, or of the law which every human being, even without the Bible, feels to be binding on him Christ and his ght that the ceremenial law—the law relat- h sacrifices and other religious custome— Apostles tench, that ail theg@ are te be pious és stili binding on every being of the ming up the first fourin the command, “ Thou shat love the Lord they God with al: thy heart,” and the last six in the command, * Thou shait love thy neighbor as thyself.” We remember Christ's words t» the young man who asked ‘ What shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Christ replies, keep the commoniments, and then repeats the last six. ‘’bus the Saviour plainly teaches that obedience to the ten commandments, is even under the Christian dispensation este: to obtain eter rallife, Itis true Christ does no iy mention the fourth command; but the reason of this omission is mai fest; he does not mention either of the four command meats relating to our dnty to God, but only tke last six, which relate to our duties to our fellow men. for he he did show him) that d fully kept the com- which related to nD; he was not willing, loving his ne: ‘as himself, to co and © eel all that he had, ard guve to the r,” and much lems did he, loving God with all is heart, keep the firat four commends in oli their fulness, True, also nowhere In the New Testament docs either Christ or any one oy his Apostles quote the words of the command, ‘ Re- ember the Sabbath to keep it holy ;” nor do they quote eivhero! the other threo commands, “ Thou shalt no other God’s vefore me”—"Thon shalt not thee any graven image”—and “ Thou shalt not take the ¢ of the Lord thy God in vain.” Yet in the New Tes- ment all these commands, and especially the duty of ob- serving the Sabbath, are taught in lang ore clear and positive than would been the pi of the command itself. eis in the o ue something J ew: all have occssion a i pe aa lainly and fully Christ taught the duty of reiigio Sbearving one day of theseven, In his words he taught it The Jows were sutieiently strict in the external observance of that day, hence Christ needed not to quete the commands ; yet how constantly is he imnpressi them, the fact, that though their ceremonial observance ofthat day was to be corrected, yet it was universally to be observed, aud he taught the manner in which it was to be observed by all (his followers of every nation, and femily of man ; his teaching at all times corresponding with his exptess declaration—" The Sanbath was made for ma: And he who with a spirit ot Christian enlightenment studies these teachings of Christ, will be more convinced that he enjoined the duty of observing the Sabbath, than if he found Christ hi quoted in #0 many words the command of the Decelogue; tor he will see how im hie various and ed teachings reference to the Sabbath, Christ enjoins its observance positively as did the Jewish law ; while at the same time he separates, from the manner of its observanc everything Jewish, 80 as to show even more plainly that he meant it should be universally observed. Equally plainly and positively does the daviour’s example enjoin observance of the Sabbath. He observe the Pas r, and his disciples never af U bath he observed as the Bab- ft is, thet sacrifices, snd washing hi Sabbath he went into the Synagogue, as we though still he healed the sick on that day.
