THE COMMERCIAL
' THURSDAY. MAY 27, IS52.
FOR GOVERNOR,
JOHN KERR,
OF CASWELL,
not insisted on the absolute necessity of in
culcating ita principlea And its precept upan
the mindi of the young? In what age, by
what eeet, where, when, by whom, haa reli
iriou truth been excluded from lha educa
tion of youth! Nowhere; never. Every
where, and at all lime, it has been, and u,
a reearJed as essential. - It is of the essence.
" . f nuPnl instruction. - From all
vitality, of useful instruction.
this Mr. Girard dissents. His plad denies
the necessity and the propriety of religious
instruction as part of the education ot the
youth... He dissents, not only from oil the
teatiments ot Christian, mankind, from all
.common conviction, and from the results of
ail experience, butt he dissents also from still
iiiher authority th word of God itself.
My learned friend has referred, with propri
ety,' one of the commands of the Deca
logue but there hi another, a first command
Beot and that is a precept of religion, and it
lain snbordinaiion to this that the moral pro
ceptsof the Decalogue are proclaimed. This
first great commandment teaches .-nan that
- tnere is one, ana oniy one. great r irsi iause,
lone, and only one, proper object of human
worship. This w the great, the ever fresh,
the overflowing fountain ol aty revealed truth.
Without it, human life is a desert oi no kno wn
termination on any aide, but shut in' on all
sides bra dark and impenetrable horizon.
Without .the light of this truth, man knows
nothing ot bis origin, aoq nothing 01 nis end
And when the Uecalojrue was delivered to
jhe Jews, with this great announcement and
command f. its head, what said the inspired
lawgiver ? that u should ookeptiroin chu
dren? tnat It should) bo reserved as a com
munication fit only for mature age? Far,
far otherwise. "And these words, which I
command thee this dav shall be in thv heart.
And thou shall teach them diligently unto thy
children, and shall talk of them when thou
itttest in thy hause, and when thou wolkest
by the way, when thou liest down and when
thou rlseth up."
There is an authority stiU more imposing
and awful, When little children were brougtu
into the presence of the Son of God, his dis
ciples proposed to send them awnv: but he
said, "Suffer little children to come unto me."
Unto me; he did not send them first for les
son in morals to the schools of the Pharisees
or to the unbelieving Sadducees, nor to read
tue precepts and lessons phylacleried on th
garments oi tne jewtsn priestnoou ; he end
nothing of different creeds or clashing doc
Vines, but he opened at once to the vouth
lul mind the everlasting fountain of living
waters, the only source of eternal truths:
"Suffer little children to come unto me."
And that injunction is of perpetual obligation
ii iMiareeses luseu to-aay wun tne same car
neatness and the same authority whirh at
tended its firs; utterance to the Christian
world. It is ol force everywhere, and nt all
times. It extends to the ends of the earth, it
will reach to the end of lime, always and ev
erywhere sounding; in the ears of men, with
r an emphasis which, no repetition can weaken,
and with an authority which nothing can su
persede; "Suffer little chifdren to come un
to me."
And not only my heart, nud my judgment
my ueuei, ana ray conscience, instruct me
that this great precept should be obeyed, but
tne idea is so saced, the solemn thoughts
connected with it so crowd me, it is so utter
ly at variance with this system of philosophi
cal morality which we have heard advoca
ted, that I stand and speak here in fear of
being influenced by my feelings to exceed the
proper line tof ray professional duty. Go thy
way at this time, is the language of philo
eopLical morality, and I will send for thee at
a more convenient season. This is the lan
guage of Mr. Girard io his will. In this there
" w nci'Jicr religion nor reason.
The earliest and the most urgent intcllec
ual want of human nature is the knowledge
of its origin, its duty, and its destiny.
""Whence am I, t&hat am I, and what is bc
fors roe ?" This is the cry of the human soul,
o soon as ils raises its contemplation above
visible, ma'erial things. !
When an intellectual being finds himself
on this earth, as soon as the faculties of rea
son operate, one of the first inquiries of his
miod Is, ''Shall I be here always ?" "Shall
I live here forever ?" And reasoning from
what he sues daily occurring to others; he
learns to a certainty that this state of being
must one day be changed. I do not mean to
deny, that it may be true that he is created
with -this consciousness ; but whether it be
ponaciousness. or the result of his reasoning
faculties, man soon learns that he must die.
Then comes the most urgent and solemn de
mand for light that ever proceeded, or can
proce'ed,' from the profound and anxious broo
dings of the human soul. It is stated, with
wonderful force, and beauty, in that incom
parable composition, the book of Job : ''For
there is hope of a tree, it it be cut down, that
it will, sprout again, and that the tender
branch, thetof will not cease, that, through
fhe scent of water, it will' bud. and hrinor fnrlli
boughs tike a jilant. But if a man die. shall
he. lite again 1" ,And that question nothing
but God, and the religion ol God, ran solve.
' Religion does" solve it, and teaches every
man that he is to live again, and that the
3ciic of ikhis life have reference lo the life
VVich 1 to come. And Lence, since the in-
traduction of Christianity, jtlina been the du
ly, a it ha becMhe effort, of the great and
the gaod.Mo sanctify human knowledge, to
bring it to the fount, and to baptize teaming
Mnto Christianity; to gather up all its pro
ductions, its earliest and its latest, it blos
soms and all its fruits, and lay them all- upon
the alter of religion and virtue.
-Another Important point involved in this
question Is, what., becomes of the Christian
Sabbath, io a school thus established ? I do
not mean to y thty Jills stands exactly on
the same authority a the Christian 'religion,
bet I mean Co say that the observance of the
Sabbath i a part of Christianity in all its
forms.- AH Cbiistlans admit the observance
r ifc Ral.t)lh. All admit that there is a
Turd's day. although there may be a differ
ence In the belief os to which is the right
tAh observed. Now, I say that in this
Jiietilution, under. Mr. Girord'e scheme, the
cou
IJ
or.!!,...rv fihsrrr.llice of
uot take rUce, because the ordinary mtai
of observing it are excluded. - I know that I
shall be tol3 here, also, that lay teachers
would come in again j and 1 say again in re
ni -ot urliorn iim nniinarv means. ol at
taining an end nrc excluded, the intention is
to exclude the end itself. There can be no
Sabbath in this college, there can be na re
ligious observance of the Lord's day lor
there are no means for attaining that end.
It will be said, that the, children would be
permitted to go out. There is nothing seen
of this permission to Mr. Girard' will. And
f m i n.Toirt 4 It eat at nrnnlrl Katt tnat flfl ftillfH
opposed to Kir. Girard!s whole scheme to, al
low these children to go out and attend places
of public worship on the Sabbath day, as it
woutu oe to nave minivers ot reunion vu
preach to them within the walls ; because, if
they go out to hear preaching, they will hear
just as much about religious controversies,
ana ciaBning aocvnne auu tuurc, uiuu v y
pointed preachers officiated in the college.
Ilia object, as he states, was to Keep tneir
minds free from all religious doctrines and
sects, and he would just as much defeat his
ends by sending' them ou,t as by having re-
igious instruction within. Wnere, are mese
ittle children to iro? Where can they go
to learn the truth, to reveronce the Sabbath?
Thev are far from their friends, they have
no one to accomnanv them to any place oi
- 1
worship, no one to show them the right from
the wronz course ; their minds must be kept
clear from all hAason the subject, and they
are just a? fawirom the ordinary observance
of the Sabbath as if there were no Sabbath
day at all. And where there is no observ
ance of the Christian Sabbath, there will of
course be no public worship ol uoti.
And I would ask, would any Christian
man consider it desirable tor his orphan
children, after his death, to find refuge with
in this asylum, under all the circumstances
and influences which will necessarily sur
round its inmates? Are there, or will there
be, any Christian parents who would desire
that their children should be piaceu in in s
school, to be for twelve years exposed to the
pernicious influences which must be brought
to bear on their minds ? I very much doubt
if there is anv Christian father who hears
me this day, and 1 am quite sure that tnere
is no Christian mother, who, if called upon
loliedownon the bed of death, although
sure to leave her children as poor as children
can ur) left, who would not rather truBt them
neven'irli-as, to the Christian charity of thqffl
world, however uncertam it has been said to
be, thijn place them where their physical
wants nna comforts would be abundantly at
tended to. but awov from the solaces and
consolations, the hopes and tho grace, of the
Christian religion. She would rather trust
them to the mercv and kindness of that spir
it, which, when it has nothing else left, gives'
a cup ol cold water in the name oi a uis
ciple; to that spirit which has its origin in
the fountain of all good, and of which we
have on record an example 'the most beauti
ful, the most intensely affecting, that the
world's history contains, I rriean the offering
of the poor widow who threw her two mites
into the treasury. "And he looked up. ana
saw the rich men caslinir their irlfts into the
treasury; and he saw also a certain poor
widow castinir in thither two mites. Arm ne
said. Of a truth 1 say unto you, that this
poor widow hath cast in more than they all ;
lor all these have, of iheir abundance, casl
in unto the ofl'erinijs ol God: but she of her
penury hath cast in all the living that she
had." What more tender, more solemnly
affecting, more profoundly paihetic, than
this charily, this offering lo God, of a far
thing! YVc know nothing of her name, her
f tmiTy, ( r her tribe.
We only know that she was a poor woman,
and a widows ol whom there is nothing left
upon record but this sublimely simple story,
that when the rich came to cast their proud
offerings into the treasury, this poor woman
came also, and cast in her two miles, which
made a larthing! And that example, thus
made (lie subject of divine commendation.
has been read, and told, and gone abroad
everywnere, and sunk deep into a hundred
millions of hearts, since the commencement
ol the Christian era, und has done more good
than could be accomplished by a thousand
nmrblo palaces, because it was charily min
gled with true benevolence..given in the fear,
the love, the service, and honor of God ; be
cause it was charity, that had ils origin in re
ligious feeling ; because it was a gift to the
honor of God !
Cases have come before the courts, of be
quests, in last wills, made or given to God.
without any more specific direction ; and
these br-quesU have been regarded as crea
ting charitable uses. But can lhat be truly
called a charity which flies in the face of all
the laws of God and all the usages of Chris
tian man 1 I arraign no man for mixing up
a love of distinction and notoriety with his
charities. I blame not Mr. Girard because
ho desired to raise a splendid marble palace
in the neighborhood of a beautiful citv, that
hhould endure for ages, and transmit his name
and fame to posterity. But this school of
earning is not id be valued, because it has
not the chastening influences of true relia-
ion ; because it has no frasranca ol'llie spirit
of Christianity. It is not a charity, for it has
not that which gives to a charily lor educa
tion its chief value. It will, therefore, soothe
.the heart of no Christian parent, dying in
poverty and distress, that those who owe to
nim their being may be led, and fed, and
clothed by Mr. Girard's bounty, nt the ex
pense of being excluded from nil the means
of religious instruction nffoided to other chil
dren, and shut up through the most interest
ing period of their lives in a sominary with
out religion, and with moral sentiments as
cold as its own marble walls.
