Excerpt from A Manual on the Christian Sabbath: Embracing a Consideration of Its Perpetual Obligation, Change of Day, Utility, and DutiesIN our inquiries concerning the Christian Sabbath, few things are more interesting or instructive than its history. The judicious and worthy author of the following excellent Lectures, has expressed an opinion that the consecration of one day in seven to rest from bodily labor, and to the 'service of God, may be traced back very distinctly to the close of the work of creation. The reasons which he offers in support of this Opinion will not here be repeated, They will probably be deemed sufficiently solid by most readers. From the moment there was a man upon the earth, it seems to have been the will of' God that a seventh part of time should be consecrated to his service. It is quite certain that much, very much, is made of the Sabbath throughout the whole of the Old Testament, and, especially, that the Prophets, in all their re¿ections on the melancholy past, and in all their anticipations of the portentous future.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
