The Sabbath a Yoke of Bondage.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

Some opposers say that the seventh-day Sabbath is a yoke of bondage. This I have come to believe to be strictly true from observing how it works. But to whom is it a yoke of bondage? Not to the one who keeps it, for to him it is to be a delight, Isa. lviii, 13, and a blessing, Isa. lvi, 2. But to the man who is partially or wholly convinced of its obligation and is trying to get around it,—to him it is a yoke of bondage. It galls him, frets him, and he becomes impatient and often angry under it. Hundreds of illustrations of this may be found in all parts of the land. Hence, it is no wonder that such persons think it a yoke of bondage. It is hard to fight against God.
