3754 — Getting Mail on the Sabbath

By Editor

Is it wrong to get mail on Sabbath?

It might not be. Sometimes the Lord's work might demand it. Sometimes a case of life or death might demand it,—sickness in one's family. Let us remember how the Lord relieved the sick and helped those who were in trouble on the Sabbath day. That is one thing; but the mere getting of ordinary mail, as at ordinary days, and in ordinary times, it seems to us that the same commandment which governs ordinary work ought to govern here. "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy," is still in force.
