during the day.lay befure the pubiic, and the Bekers, the several plans at present in operation, and give what À consider the effects pruduced by each of these different ways of working, touching the proper observance of the Sabbath.1 inay eny, before ertering upon the examination of the subject, that there are many ways of making bread, and that every baker considers his own way the best.As regards the present plan adopled and carried on by most of the bakers, in the Upper and Lower Provinces, \u2014Bakers have to attend and boil potatoes un Sabbath morning, and beat them up after they are boiled, \u2014strain them through a search, then set their ferment.This cannot be done in less time than one hour.Again, they attend at seven o'clock, and spunge, aud during the time apunge is getting ready, the baker generally lays himself down on the table, and takes a sleep.As soon as the spunge is ready, he makes dough, and, by the time ho gets the oven set a.going or prepared, the batch is ready to be scaled off, and then there is no more leisuce time, till the whole ofhis work 1s dune next day about 11, 12, or 1 v'elock.1 have wrought in this way, and cau testify that during the time that this plan was worked by me, that however anxious | might be to koep the Sabbath day holy, I found it utterly impossible to spend that day in a profitable manner.And if the master found it impossible, when he seidom wrought during the night, how would it be with his men ?I answer for them, that they often regretied theic condition ; and when they went to church, in the forenoon, although their epirit was willing to listen ta the glad tidings of salvation, the flesh was weak, and instead of spending the day in à profitable manner, almost as soon as the minister commenced his discourse, the puor wrought wut baker was fast asleep.And this ia the way carried on from Monday till Saturday, from munth to month, and from yer to year.\u2014This being the case, how can a person thus employed improve &is mind 7 It is utterly impossible ;\u2014and thus bakers are kept in ignorance, end remain a poor degtaded class of men.Can it be wondured if these men, who are wrought in this way, and who ate taught to regard intoxicating drink ae a stimulue, to help and strengthen them for their work, should become intemperate or drankerds?But, Sir, [ do not find in the Bible any countenance for working during the might.On the contrary, I find many passages to warrant day work, and those passages in cluse connection with the proper obeervance uf the Subbath.I shall only give you a few of the aany that might be quoted.Exodus, 20th chapter, 9th verse :\u20148ix days shalt thou labor, and do ull thy work ; and at the 11th verse :\u2014For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, &c.Exodus, 16th chapter, 26th verse :\u20143ix days shall yo gather it.Exodus, 31st chapter, 15th verse ; \u2014Six days may work be done.Exodus, 34th chapter, 31st verse :\u2014Six days thou shalt work.Levitioue, 234 chapter, 34 verse :-Six daye aboll work be done.Deuteronomy, 5th chapter, 13th verse :\u2014Six days thou shait labur and do all thy work.All these passages and many similar, are ites.woven with the proper observance of the Sabbath ; and I know from long experience that unless & man gets his natural rest during the night, it is ut.Lerly impossible for him to be in u right frame of mind to attend to the duties of the Sabbath, fo that noble.band who have formed i i « good question for that nol and who have forme detre ins à pis Obasrvance Bociely.Go or, and

of my men that he would like to write you upon the subject, but he would let some other person better qualified de it.LL every one acte in this way nothing will be done.We require the public to take
