Sunday Laws

Sunday Laws.

“From the speaking and plaudits together, you would have gathered the hearty conviction of all that the Sabbath was made for man, not by man, but by the wise and good Creator who knew what man needed, rest for the body, and a fitting of the mind for higher spheres—that seven days’ work did not bring seven days’ wages, or if so, it was only for a time, and followed by loss on all sides and to all concerned—that personal worth and domestic comfort required a Sabbath day, and that national character showed itself according to the regard or disregard paid to God’s appointed time for rest and worship. Some of your cities, when last heard from, were in the midst of a fight on this very subject. Heaven speed the right. But if the contrary has been allowed, don’t be discouraged. Many an apparent success has been but the beginning of total defeat.”
