TO THE FIRST PHILADELP

Touching Willison on the Sab solete, yet it contains much excellen

creasing Gospel light, there are still many who stupidly believe that Christ has done away the obligatory observance of the Sabbath. I am glad you are about to republish itI wish you success in it, and from my heart I wish it a wide circulation.

Mr. A. WALKER.

By the REV. DR. JANEWAY, Pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia.

WILLISON'S TREATISE ON THE SANCTIFICATION OF THE LORD'S DAY, is a valuable work. He discusses in it the several questions relative to the Sabbath. The Divine appointment of the Sabbath-its moral obligation, and consequent perpetuity of the fourth commandment;-and the change of the seventh for the first day of the week, in honour of the resurrection of our Lord and the completion of his glorious work of redemption, he proves with much force of argument. The manner in which the Sabbath is to be sanctified, the rest from secular concerns which it requires, and the various religious duties to be done on that holy day, are discoursed on at length. And to all he adds various directions in relation to public and private worship, and to guard us against the sins that profane the Sabbath. On the whole, a perusal of this treatise will be found useful to Christians; animating and encouraging them to the due and sacred observance of that day which God has appointed as a sign between himself and his people.

Mr. A. WALkek,

J. J. JANEWAY.
