Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sabbath for Man: A Study of the Origin, Obligation, History, Advantages and Present State of Sabbath Observance The Sabbath was made for man. - Jesus the Christ, Mark 2:27. After the whole world had been completed according to the perfect nature of the number Six, the Father hallowed the day following, the Seventh, praising it and calling it holy. For that day is the festival, not of one city or of one country, but of all the earth; a day which it is alone right to call the day of festival for all people, and the birthday of the world. - Philo, Creation of the World, chap. 30. This Fourth is not a commandment for one place, or one time, but for all places and times. - D. L. Moody, at San Francisco, Jan. 1st, 1881. Christianity has given us the Sabbath, the Jubilee of the whole world, whose light dawns welcome alike into the closet of the philosopher, into the garret of toil, and into prison cells, and everywhere suggests, even to the vile, the dignity of spiritual being. - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Address to Harvard Divinity School, 1838. The use of the Sabbath, as it began, will end only with the world itself. - Bishop Horsley, Sermons, p. 444. The Lord´s-day is not the day of God only, it is the day of humanity. This is the true democratic festival - this day of God and man. And yet this is the day which certain friends of the people wish to deprive them of - false friends that cheat them with the name of Liberty, thinking only of their bodily needs, and not wisely even of those. - Pere Hyacinthe (M. Loyson), at Geneva Conference. The Sabbath stretches through all ages - affects all men in every period of time - distinguishes the true servants of God from the wicked, more than any other ordinance - upholds the visible profession of religion before the eyes of mankind - keeps up the face and aspect of Christianity in the world - is the most direct honor that a man can pay to the name and will of the ever-blessed God - and will never cease in its authority here till our Sabbaths on earth give place to that eternal Sabbath of which they are the pledge, the preparation. - Daniel Wilson, Late Bishop of Calcutta, Seven Sermons on the Lord´s-day.
