THE SABBATH.

'$Io the Edi'or of the Evening Stab ) r S ' IBj _There is a difficulty in^ replying to your correspondent "Verity," not that fbe is profoundly deep, but that he is so ' very shallow. I have read carefully over fiis two letters, but I cannot learn what he is adfocating, and what he opposes. Do you know whether he advocates the Jewish Sabbath to be kept or Sunday to be kept as the Sabbath, as he has not even attempted to answer my arguments. Until that is done, I need not bring any more forward. He gives me a little advice, that when I read the Scriptures that I do not use spectacles that are prejudiced. I did not know that spectacles could hare a prejudice. He asks me a question with the greatest of simplicity— Should I have a beast that was in danger of being killed for want of being assisted on the Sabbath, what would I do ? My answer is, iusfcead of goiDg by Moses'law and do nothing, I would go by reason and common sense, and work to save it, and thus break the Sabbath. But "Verity" must be very simple if he carinot see that we are not arguing what reason and common sense teaches about the Sabbath, but what the Scriptures teach about it. I We now done, albeit I think I ought to T«turn my friend the compliment and give hSTuttle advice. My advice to him is that if e*er he enters int° tt f Dtr Tef S Mlfo that he be sure to see clearly^what hf wants to oppose, and what defend, and Sin make that plain to others, which this {fme hJ haVmiierably failed to do.-I #pp&Oi Uncle John.
