Morals of Boston.

It has been estimated that on Sunday Jan. 16th, a beautiful day, the state of the snow covering the roads with beautiful sleigh paths—more money was spent in desecrating the Sabbath [Sunday] by sleigh riding, than was contributed by all the churches in the city, during the year, to send the gospel to a perishing world.
It is said that not a team was let on that day for less than $10. And at a single drinking shop, a few miles from the city, it was estimated that not less than 3,000 teams stopped in the course of the day.
It is estimated by some, that during the millennium the whole world will be nearly as Christian as Boston now is!! The knowledge of the Lord will, then, hardly cover the earth, as the water does the seas.—Advent Herald.
