The Jew may rightly take his iaterest money now, ibr other reasons than because the Mosaic polity is dissolved. He is not the same man that his fathers were. He lives in a new world, and sustains new relatious. The modes of business, loo, are all so changed that the merits of receiving interest money are no more the same, although tlie mere outward act is such as to be described iu the same words. At this very moment, we have it on hand to revise the moral code in reference to three very import...ant subjects — wine, slavery, and war. The real (]uestioii, on these sub- jects, if we understood om-selves, is not, on one side whether Ave can torture ihe Scripture so as to make it condemn all that we desire to exclude ; nor, on the other, wiiether we are bound, for all time, and eternity to Ijoot, to justify what the Scripture gutters. But the (jueslion, piiilosophically stated, is whether new c(jgnate inventions and uses, do not make old practices more destructive, old vices more incurable — whether a new age of the world and a capacity of better things, have not so changed the relations of the practices in issue, that they arc nolong(n- the same, and no longer to be justified.
