2314.—F. E. L.—The question as to how much work shall be done and what work is necessary on the Sabbath must be left to the conscience of the individual. The Lord does not forbid necessary work or works of mercy. It would seem that housekeepers should make the work just as light on that day as possible, in the cooking of food, washing of dishes, making of beds, etc. Sometimes that work seems absolutely necessary. That they must settle with their own consciences and God.
