The American Sabbath

THE well-known writer, Margaret E. Sangster, has an article in the Christian Herald of February 26, on the preservation of the American sabbath. The advice she gives on how to conduct one's self on the day he believes to be the Sabbath is good, as is also the expression which we quote:—
In order to preserve the American sabbath we do not need legislation; we require atmosphere and influence.’
The sabbath that depends upon human legislation for a force impelling men toward its preservation is leaning on a broken reed that will pierce the hand of the leaner.
