From Pawnor's Apology for thl Christian Sabbath.
PRIVATE IMPROVEMENT OF THE
SABBATH.
The public worship of GoJ, important
and delightful ns it is, ought not to occupy
the whole of this sacred day, nor indeed,
usually, the greater part of it. 1 shall,
therefore,: proceed to show how the remaining
hours of the day should be spent*
And here I would premise, that we ought
to guard against the two extremes of excessive
laxness on the one hand, and excessive
rigour on the other; remembering
that we " are not under the law, but under
grace." It is confessed, that we have no
express precepts in Scripture to direct us,
how every hour of the Sabbath should be
employed, nor do we need any. It is
- ? i L* iL.
enough that we are mere laugiu wuai is m*
great end of our being; what the happiness
for which we are created, and what is
necessary to fit us fc/r the enjoyment of it;
that we are instructed concerning the nature
and perfections of God; the general
duties we owe him; the necessity of maintaining
intercourse with him, and the importance
of a growing conformity to the
image of his moral attributes: A due attion
to these particulars will be sufficient
to direct us to our duty, in matters about
"which we hare no positive written rules,
and among others in that now under consideration.
If we keep in view the great
i ^ . 1 n ? a*t -___j " i
enas 01 me oaoDsm, as an lnsiirauon ueaigned
for our religious improvement; to
promote our advancement in divine know*
Jedge, and in all the branches of virtue
ond goodness, as the means of fitting us
for heaven, we shall easily perceive in
what manner this day may be most-profits
bly spent; and if we are truly disposed to
improve it to the best purposes, we shall
find business enough to employ the whole
of it.
On these principles , it will appear thai
to waste any part of it in sloth and indolence,
is highly criminal, and indeed more
inconsistent with the great design of it,
than engaging in our honest secular calh
ings?This reminds me of the great impropriety
of indulging in sleep more on
, this day than'on any otiier; a practice not
-i. f - e
uncommon even among ihc proiessurs in
religion. Many persons who rise early
overy other day in the week (o pursue the
labors of their respective callings, seem
, as if they thought the chief use of the
Sabbath was to give rest to their bodies,
by indulging them some hours longer
than ordinary in bed; in consequence of
'which they are unable to get ready for
the public worship of the morning, and
thus are either detained from it, or not
present till a part of it is over. No longer
time can warrantably be allowed to sleep
on this day, than is necessary to the comfortable
discharge of the religions duties
of it; in all of which it behoves us to be
"fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.'*
Besides the duties of the sanctuary, already
considered, there are those of the
?)???/ ftn.1 ?f (tin fntniln onunllir
1/^VOV* OIIU VI ?IIV J niMVH vkg?-?a??j
call for our attention.?As to the former,
if the private exercises of devotion demand
some part of every day, it seems
reasonable that a larger proportion of onr
time should be devoted to them on the
Lord's day, which usually affords more
leisure for them. In the morning, solemn
acts of prayer an^ meditation will
be particularly useful to divest our minds
of earthly cares, and prepare them for the
public services of God's house. And in
the evening the like exercises will be highly
beneficial for fixing what we have heard
in our memories, and strengthening the
impression of them upon our hearts.?
Reading and studinff the holv Scriptures
also, with other books of divinity, will
baa profitable employment of some considerable
portion of our sacred tiine; which
those persons more especially should be
careful to improve for this purpose, who,
inconsequence of a multiplicity of business
and connexions in the world, can on other
days command but little leisure for it.
That family worship and instruction,
are duties of high importance, I shall not
attempt4to prove. It is not to be conceired
that any one who possesses a principle
of religion himself, can be indifferent to
the spiritual welfare-of others, especially
of his domestics, and of the rising gene
ration. Like faithful Abraham, whom the
Almighty so highly applauded, he will
"command his children and his household
after him, and they shall keep the way of
the Lord." This pious care should more
or less be exercised by Christian parents
and masters every day. But the Lord's
day affords peculiar opportunity for it.
The several members of families may then
generally be most easily convened. Time
may in common be oiost easily secured,
?
and the interruptions to which most families
are on other days liable, may on this,
with a little resolution^. b$ most easily
avoided* The subjects of public dwcourse
also may be.of special use to furrosh matter
for inquiry, admonition and prayer.
Domestic employments ofjtbty, naj,ure,
are of such vast importance to tlie'young,
and may be attended to with such peculiar
advantage on the evening of the Sabbath^
that nothing should be tolerated in a Christian
family that is inconsistent with them.
For this reason the common practice of
paying ceremonious visits on the Lord's
ftatr ic Ia l\o iticAAiinl?n<lni<(iil Thnttnli tf
UU T ItJ kV U V/ UfMVVUIIVVllMilVWW* Jl IIVUKM
I *) .
cannot be justly pronounced criminal.so
far to show hospitality on this day as to
entertain a friend, especially one from a
distance, the less company we admit, and
the less festivity we indulge, the better.
And care should be takem that the social
intercourse of friends and relations be not
protracted to an unseasonable length, so
as to infringe upon the religious orders of
the family. It may be proper to add, that
such as have time to spare from their own
personal and domestic concerns would employ
it well iu visiting Sunday Schools,
and instructing the children of the poor;
of whom there are great numbers who
need, and are disposed to receive their
aid. Such Sunday visits will turn to good
account.

cost three dollars a volume?all for six cents a num
ber. 'or three dollars a year.
Brother Jonathan being a genuine Yankee, and
that some things can bo done as well os others, ii

Moffat's Life Pills.
THESE medicioes are indebted' for
their name to their manifest and ssvsiblc
action in ptirifyiftg the springs and.channels
of life, and enduing them wjslh.renewed
lone and vigor. In many hundred
certified cases which have been made publie,
and in almost every species of disease
to which the human frame is liable, the
happy effects of MOFFAT'S LIFE
PILLS AND PHENIX BITTERS have
been gratefully and publicly acknowledg_
-1 f .L . t_ /?.. 1 t __ 1
cti uy inc persons oenenneo, ami who
were previously unacquainted with the
beautifully philosophical principles upon
which they ore compounded, and upon
which they consequently act.
The LIFE MEDICINES *ceomciend
themselves in diseases of every description.
Their first operation is to loosen
from the coots of the stomach and bowels, .
the various impurities and crudities constantly
settling around them; and to remove
the hardened faeces which collect in
the convolution of the small intestines.
Other medicines only partially cleanse
these, and leaFe such collected masses behind
as to produce habitual costiveness,
with all its train of evils, or sudden diarrhoea,
with its imminent dangers. This
fact is well fcaown to all regular anatomists,
who examine the human bowels
after death : and hence the prejudice of
these well informed men against quack
medicines, or medicines prepared and heralded
to the public by ignorant persons.
The second effect of the Ljfe Medicines is
1.(1 ra .l_ l1..ij..
iu i/icaiioc uiu Muucp nnu lite UJdUUur,
and by ihis means, the liver and the lungs,
the healthful action of which entirely depends
upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red
eolor from the agency of the liver and the
lungs before it passes into the heart, being
thus purified by tbem.and nourished
by food coming from a clean stomach,
courses freely through the veins, renews
every part of the system, and triumphantly
mounts the banner of health in the blooming
cheek.
Moffat's Vegetable Life Medicines have
been thoroughly tested, ard pronounced
a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency,
Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of
Appetite, Heart-bum and Headache,
Restlessness, III temper, Anxiety, Lan- ? **
guor and Melancholy, Costivcness, Diarrhcea,
Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rhu
matism, tjrout, Uropsies ol nil kinds, Uravcl.
Worms, Asllima and Consumption,
Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scocbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexion,.
Eruptive complaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and
other disagreeable Complexions, Salt
Rheum, Erysipelas, Common Colds and
Influenza, and various other complaints
which afflict the humam frame. In Fever
and Ague, particularly, the Life Medicines
have been most eminently successful;
so much so, that in the Fever and
Ague Districts, Physicians almost universally
prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patients
is to be particular in taking the
Life Medicines strictly according to the
directions. It is not by a newspaper nolice,
or by any thing that he himself may J
say in their favor, that he hopes to gain '
credit. It is alone by the results of a fair
trial. For sale by J. R. McKAIN.
