Paul’s Business Closed on Saturdays
By Editor
[Dr. Chas. S. Robinson, in the Sunday School Times, gives the following plain, unbiased testimony on Paul’s work in Corinth. Italics ours.—Ed.]:— “We must observe that Paul held his business cautiously in hand. No doubt his tents brought excellent prices, and it is likely the trade increased. But he looked on tent-making as a means to an end; and he did not set himself just to gain money. The moment he was settled, it became necessary to respect certain moral duties, and fix a place for certain outside activities, which belonged to him. That establishment was 'closed on Saturdays.' Indeed, it was shut up every Friday evening at sundown, for then God’s holy day commenced. He never let his business run away with him, or interfere with his religious life.”
