Si. Paul, Minnesota.
[a] THE DAKOTA FRIEND.
st. Pam, Minnesota. Ninety-two Winnebago Indians came
It is now near six thousand years since up on the Nominee, on Thursday the 14th
the Creation. From the Creation to the na- inst.. on their way to the upper country •w-
itivity of Jesus Christ was a period of
four thousand years and since the birth ox
I Jesus, eighteen hundred and fifty years have
glided away. We date from the birth of
Christ, and not from the creation of the world,
i' The division of time into months and years
is natural, as well its division into days and
nights. And God said "Let there be light
in the firmament of heaven to divide the day
from the night and let them be for signs,
and for seasons, and for days and years.
I But how came time to be divided into weeks
Here it is.
I (Jod could have brought into existence U^n
thousand worlds in an instant, with infinite
ease but instead of doing so, we are in
formed that in six days, the Lord made the
heavens and the earth, &c. An adequate
I
reason was present to the
he should extend the
of creation through
six days, and only six days. N\ as not that
reason this, that G,od in his wisdom and con
I descension designed to teach men hy his own
i example, as well as by precept that time
should be divided into short and convenient
periods of six days for scoular employment,
i How ought wu to be influenced by the ex
ample of such a Being God has enjoined
upon us diligence in business by the authoi
itv of his on-11 example.
'After six-days' agency, by which the
heavens and earth, with all their varied eon
tents were brought iortli as the youtlnul Ling
of day, arose to
his mellow light over
the vastly extended and glorious productions
of the Almighty—he was greeted with a scene
of universal beauty, sweetened by lvpose.
The Seventh day had dawned and the mys
terious. the adorable Creator rested rom (ill
the works which his hand had made.
And, moreover, God blessed the Seventn
day and sanctified it because that in it he
had rested from all his works which God had
created and made. Nature rested. 1 hus,
time at its very birth was divided into weeks
—six davs for labor and the seventh for rest.
Adam, the father and representative of the
race, in the blissful garden, spent the first
day of his existence in acts of humble ado
ration of that wondrous Being, from whose
hand he came forth to gaze witli* admiring
love and gratitude on the surrounding works
of the Deity, over which himself was consti
tuted head. What a Sabbath was that
what a noble, what an elevating employment
for Adam Kxample worthy of imitation.
Did God sanctify the Sabbath and rest from
all his works did Adam in holy raptures
"Keep the Sabbath day holy!" and shall
we, can we continue our secular employ
ments through its sacred hours, thus tramp
ling it under our feet and contemning its
blessed Author 1 No—we will break offfrom
our sins by repentance, and "Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy.''''
