a canlin. toa T mm in a apcciai man
ner, the Bi fie i eiven for a rule of faith and
practice. And whatever cannot be prored
from this sacred code, to b contrary to the
aitl of God, he, tn particular, thoultl be e
cedinrlr careful not to censurci for in ao
; Join he would be in danger of committing
b maeX " Add thou not unto his word,"
, hvs Solomon, " lest he reprove thee, and
thou be found a liar " And a theater than
Solomon says, " If any man shall add unto
'these things Cod shall aril unto him the
etatrues that are written hi this book." The
Lord himself is judge, and on what he has
not seen cause to lay any prohibition, no
man dare (except at his peril) positively to
interdict. An opinion be may have, that this
or that is wrongs but then ho should not by
this, (letermiu tne character of other mcOi
fur they have as much right to their opinion
as he has to his. JIUrt ttuun is but the per
suasion of the mind without proof, and ought
not therefore to be adduced by any as a cn
terion, but kept separate from that' convir.
tion of the mind which is supported by fad.
And in the general it roiht be most prudent
for men to keep their opinions to themselves,
or else when expressing them to take care
that it be ' distinrtly understood, that what
they say is mere matter of opinion, and not
matter of fact. For a man to hazard an opin
ion of his own as a rule of life for other men
- to be governed by, and to thunder anaihamas
aratnst those who pursue a contrary coarse,
is, to say the least of it, arrogating much to
himself. Such conduct, is an outrage upon
the riirhu of other men: a plant not of chns
tian growth,, and a principle very destructive
ot the peace ana wen oemg oi ine commit
nity at large. Ought not every man to be
careful then, how he assumes a position which
he cannot maintain upon christian ground?
Young persons, we know, are very apt to im
bibe the opinions of older ones in the same
profession fixh themselves and children
nose of their parents. This is frequently the
reason , why erroneous sentiments are trans
witted from one generalfon to another, with
out being examined either by father or son.
Amone the, many subjects that are fre
quently opposed with but little knowledge of
them, "and but little power to took argu
mentative into theni, re those of ntannry
and htteriet. Fini of matonty: "How often
do we hear eveo those, who have candour
enough to acknowledge, they .know nothing
of the system, expressing their, disapproba
tion to a man who is of this fraternity! And
. wherefore . Is it because lie ia worse than

jector, bnt the art 6f purehsnng, tar what
constitutes the si n. l!oa east tbis sinful,
ualesa sonse law of God or the coar'ry is vio
lated? Let thts be proved, and the atiKjeet will
be put to rest. If a man incnUl go to lotte
ry office and purchase aticket for ten dollars,
with which be draws tcnty or a blank, how
does he commit any more sin than the mer
chant dees who buy's an articie for ten dollars
which be sells for twenty, or which he never
sella at an, but is Anally lout They have boih
acted honestly in the purchase they made, it
have both shared the same fate in their specu
lating adtentare. ,
Another Objection is, that " in lotteries the
manager and tbose who vend the tickets,
are not always honest, and that 'there is too
great an opportunity riven, for them to take
the advantage of adventurers." Is this a ne
cessary consequence or is it notf Ifilis, then
the lottery system is defective in iWand
ought to be discountenanced) for it is not pos
sible that a lottery can exist without the ex
istence of dishonesty as an inseparable ingre
dient. But this we know is not the fact, for
lotteries of a certain kind were "practised an
ciently, by old and new testament stints, and
met the uiviae sanction, which we know
would not have been the ease if dishonest r is
inseparable from the lotterv svstem. But that
there are nndcrlianded Hcal'miM frequently
carried on in respect to lotteries dare not be
denied. But if this be any argument against'
them, the same is an argument against Church
and State. But shall we for tb'm reason say
that all Church and State uvitters are wrong
God forbid. It follows then tlint there can
be no crime in the simiile act of purchasing a
ticket, if the ob ject of the institution be a
good one. Fur ronrcivc thit this is t he
grand hinjrc upon which hant's the propriety
or impropriety of lottery establishments. As
for instance, a lottery is authorised for build
ing a theatre, or for some other liWf purpose,
and we believe that theatres are a means of
eerrtipting society, of tlcbaMhing the youth,
and of doing much mire harm thun good to the
community. If a mm therefore buys a ticket
in any such scheme, by so much as it is wrong
to eaeeuraj- vice, by so much he is wrong in
becoming a purchaser-, tor by so doing he en-
couragesatsciaiu institution. Hut on the oth
er hand a lottery is legal I y authorised to
make a turnpike road: To remove the obttrue
tion from tome otherwise unnavigable stream:
To ettabhth a free ec!vol,,ot tor some other
purpose of a like nature, which would be of
public utility. . The man who buys a ticket ia
such a lottery, eontnbutee the amount ot tne
purchase towrds the object tor Which tne
lottery is instituted. And by so much as it is
right to encourage all institutions which have
for their end the trood of the community, by
so much it is right to become an adventurer
in any Such lottery. n But this is sanctifying
tb means by the end, whereas the end ought
alwayi to sanctify the means." This objec
tion nerhans Is mure specious than solid. A
man. for instance sees another in danger oi
his life: He rushes forward at the hazard of
his own. and the man is saved from perishing.
Does such means as this sanctity- tho end.'
V does the end sanctify the meaus? The
end the means most unquestionably And so
of religion in general; for if it vera not to the
end that man murUt be saved there would oe
nothing to justiiy the mortihcationa ana priva
tions to which a christian life is incident. A
man then would certainly be inexcusable to
rive five of ten dollars for .a ticket in some
icjuery, ii neiiiier ue nur any uuicr (jt iuun,
nor jet the public, were to ne nenenuea oy
the nurchase. But it.is furtbcrObiected that
"theiDrosnect of caio, and not a desire to
profit the public, is what prompts men to be
come adventurers in lotteries," 'This no
doubt is the case with mapy, but is no proof
that it m so with all. Andivdmitting it were,
it Ought not to be thought a sutticient argu
ment to prove that it is criminal to purchase
ticket in .any lattery. For it' it were, the
same argument .will prove that it is criminal'
to purchase sny artlule whatever; for it is noj (
to prOht the jfldtviduai or tne puoiic ;as tne
case may bel of whom the purchase is made,
but ourselves that induces us to become pur
chasers." But lotteries are a species ol gam
bling." ; Are Ihey MM" fact, or only in opin
ion? i If so in fact, let those who nrc able to
prove W bring forth their strong reasons;"
But if enig tn opinion, let not taose wnose o
pinion it is to condemn those who are., of a
contrary opinion; for opinion m but opinion.
and as all men uy nature are equaity iree, au
men of course are equally priviledged tA tlunfc
for themselves., ".To, him" then, "tl;t es
teerneth an V thirtg to- be un f lean, to him jt is
unclean,!' It is an easy matter for men to take
that for granted,, which has .nevpr heert pro-,
ed. And this, perhaps, is what has influenced
many persons to Come out agairtst those who
have become adventurers i lotteries, and.to
pronounce them ,not ohlyunfit .for Church
membership, put also tor a piace ana name a-
mong honest men.; llut is this narifub!e? I
it according to the itrtct principle of Christian
ity? Lei reason answer put perhaps it may
