Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Sabbath Questions for the People Our generation is witnessing a strange spectacle. More than half a century ago De Tocqueville declared, "France must have the American Sabbath, or she is ruined." To-day, strangely enough, we might almost reverse the terms and say, "America must have the French Sabbath, or she is ruined." Since De Tocqueville wrote France has been traveling toward the American Sabbath, and America toward the French Sabbath of De Tocqueville´s day. In the year 1906 the French Chamber of Deputies, after careful investigation by a government commission, passed a law, by the remarkable vote of 575 to I, giving to every employee in the Republic the right to twenty-four consecutive hours of rest every week, and requiring employers so to arrange these periods of rest that in the case of every employee thirteen of the rest days in each year shall fall on Sunday. It is estimated, on the other hand, that about three million people in the United States are required to work seven days every week, and that the number of these ceaseless toilers is on the increase. This state of affairs is dulling the edge of the Christian conscience. Reputable church members indulge with less and less compunction in social functions, travel, and public amusements, on the Lord´s day. "My people love to have it so: and what will we do in the end thereof?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
