CLEANLINESS AKIN TO GODLINESS. 
 
 From Uie Rev, U. Scadding'a Thanksgiving SertnoHt 
 1850, on Amos ut. 6.) 
 
 Nrv/v/v^« 
 
 The good which I wish especially to point out to 
 you, as derivable from the reflections conne-'id with 
 the observance of this day, is perhaps more of a 
 physical and bodily nature than spiritual, — though I 
 think it will be found that spiritual good is also in an 
 important degree connected with it. 
 
 It has been observed in all parts of the world, that 
 in the visitations of the pestilence from which we have 
 but lately escaped, its ravages were the greatest 
 wherever the personal habits of the individuals at- 
 tacked were uncleanly and otherwise degraded; — 
 wherever there were, about houses and localities, ac- 
 cunmlations of filth and stagnant water; wherever 
 there was no suflBcient drainage to the houses ; where- 
 ever there was no free circulation to the pure and 
 purifying air of heaven within the rooms of the houses 
 and in the yards and enclosures around the houses ; 
 wherever the houses were in a decayed and rotting 
 state. These things seemed to hold out points of 
 attraction to the deadly visitant. 
 
 Now, with a knowledge of these facta existing 
 within our minds, what does reason dictate to us ? 
 Surely that these a^ matters which every man should 
 turn his attention to. It dictates that a strict eye 
 should be kept by the public authorities, and by every 
 one of us individually, on the general cleanliness of 
 
 .11 i„^.i:»:o<i nn *hn whrklpanmi* ventilation of everv 
 
 house, and of the yards and enclosures round every 
 house; and that this should be done not merely 
 
once, just at the moment of the first terror at the 
 approach of the evil, but that a steady and well- 
 sustained vigilance in the matter should be kept up 
 year after year. 
 
 What beautiful scenes of cleanliness and order 
 might not our cities and towns and villages and resi- 
 dences present I — with everything within them and 
 about them arranged with a view to the health, the 
 happiness, and the long life of even the poorest and 
 humblest of the inhabitants ; with every improvement 
 adopted, — open squares secured, — broad and regular 
 streets laid out, with well-arranged and well-working 
 sewerage, embracing the obscurest as well as the most 
 conspicuous premises I 
 
 We, in this young country, have in our hands the 
 easy possibility of effecting all this, more or less, if 
 the attention be kept constantly turned to the point, 
 so as gradually from the outset of our towns and re- 
 sidences to be introducing and acting upon improved 
 plans of building and arranging, and not neglecting 
 the work, until some mighty evil arises, speaking, as 
 it were, with the voice of God, from amidst heaps of 
 the dying and the dead. 
 
 We have the opportunity of realizing to a great ex- 
 tent in our cities, towns, villages, and residences, the 
 dreams of many a philosopher in times past, who 
 sketched plans of model towns and communities — 
 Utopian abodes, which the difficulties, the trammels 
 and prejudices, the contracted space and past mis- 
 takes, of old countries and old cities rendered im- 
 possible almost to be attempted. But here in our 
 young and beautiful country, we start free in this 
 matter, with the advantage of having all the expe- 
 riences of the past at our service ; with our eyes open 
 *M'fkA Avjinva the astoundin" and iDComnrehensible 
 error^, of our forefathers, who, in the arrangement of 
 cities, towns and dwellmgs, appear to have had but 
 
an indistinct regard to their wholesomeness when a, 
 dense population should spring up. We, profiting by 
 their mistakes, might, if we chose, with comparative 
 have all things around us in our cities and 
 
 ease. 
 
 towns arranged in accordance with sound reason and 
 philosophy. We might not perchance secure a com-, 
 plete exemption from the influence of the mysterious 
 visitant, from whose presence this day reminds us we 
 have lately escaped alive, but we should present to 
 the monster less to feed on when he comes. 
 
 It is probable that so long as large portions of the 
 old populous cities of Europe and Asia remain 
 as they are now, — close, pent-up, irregular, ill- 
 drained, full of rottenness and decay (and it would 
 seem impossible, without, in many instances, actual 
 demolition and rebuilding, that they should ever be 
 thoroughly otherwise than they are) — it is probable, 
 I say, while this remains the case, that there will 
 every year be wafted from them hitherwards, on the . 
 wings of the wind, more or less of subtle poison, to 
 which we shall be exposed ; whilst the marshes of the 
 Ganges, where the malaria of the cholera appears 
 first to have originated, and which are well known to 
 be as malignantly active as ever, throw off into the at- 
 mosphere, year after year, as from powerful centres of 
 force and motion, fresh waves of pestilential exhala- 
 tion, each destined ultimately to be felt on the far- 
 thest coasts of the East and the West, and administer 
 ever new impulses and energy to an evil which other* 
 wise perchance might die out and disappear. 
 
 We may therefore expect to experience, more or 
 less, at intervals, in future times, the influence of this 
 invisible spirit of evil, from which v/e have recently 
 escaped. But if the knowledge of this possibility 
 shall, among other good results, establish, where they 
 needed, new habits of persooal and domestic 
 
 are 
 
 cleanliness, and fixed habits of attention to the whole- 
 
r>A- 
 
 tomenefls of houses and localities, — then io the id- 
 creased amount of health and happiness and longevity, 
 which will be the result, will not evil in this instance, 
 as in 80 many others in this world, be turned into 
 good ? And, if so, may we not conclude and be- 
 lieve that this is one use which Almighty God desires 
 us to make of the circumstances in which we find our- 
 selves P May we not believe that in the permission 
 of this evil to a city or community, " He hath done 
 it," in order that men might so esert and use their 
 faculties and powers of self-protection, as to convert 
 the curse into a blessing ? 
 
 And be assured that these physical and bodily uses 
 which I desire you to make of the existence of the 
 pestilence of cholera, are not unconnected with spi- 
 ritual benefits which will accrue to the community at 
 the same time. Were all houses clean and well- 
 ventilated, — were all their inmates personally and 
 thoroughly neat and clean and orderly, — a great step 
 would be gained towards the entertainment, within 
 those houses and by those inmates, of religious hopes 
 and religious habits. 
 
 Such a thing as a truly religious roan living volun- 
 tarily in filthy habits, in a filthy house, cannot be 
 imagined ; and in reality could not be. When, then, 
 we have* once secured neatness, cleanliness, whole- 
 someness, and order, in houses, we have done some- 
 thing towards securing the further and nearly-allied 
 blessings of religion and religious influences and 
 habits there ; we have done something towards the 
 introduction of true happiness and content to the 
 families and firesides of many, who now, immersed 
 ici squalor and misery, are almost ignorant of and 
 utterly indifferent to, the concerns of their souls and 
 of eternity.
