Mr. Jones. -- I say, through that the church received the power to make the principle and
the work of the Inquisition effective. A certain exercise of power may be forbidden, and
yet the means by which the power was obtained may not be forbidden. In other words,
the power which was obtained through the deception of Sunday laws, may be prohibited
in certain things, and yet allowed in many other things.
Senator Blair. -- The Lord made the Sabbath, and governed the Jewish nation for
nearly three thousand years with a Sabbath. Do you think the Sabbath was for the good of
the Jewish people, or for their injury?
Mr. Jones. -- It was established for the good of the human race.
Senator Blair. -- Including the Jewish people?
Mr. Jones. -- Yes, sir.
Senator Blair. -- It was established as a part of the civil administration.
Mr. Jones. -- But the church and the State were one.
Senator Blair. -- Therefore what we call the civil administration was included in
that theocracy.
Mr. Jones. -- The church and the State were one. They were united, and it was a
theocracy.
