Sabbath: Quotations from Burning Words

There are many persons who think Sunday is a sponge with which to wipe out the sins of the week.— H. W. BEECHER

There is a Sunday conscience as well as a Sunday coat; and those who make religion a secondary concern put the coat and conscience carefully by to put on only once a week.— CHARLES DICKENS

Tell me how a professor spends his Sabbaths, and I will tell you in what state his soul is spiritually considered.— JOHN ANGEL JAMES

The law of the Sabbath is the key-stone of the arch of public morals; take it away, and the whole fabric falls. Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright, The bridal of the earth and sky.— GEORGE HERBERT

O day of rest! How beautiful, how fair, How welcome to the weary and the old ! Day of the Lord! and truce to earthly care ! Day of the Lord, as all our days should be.— LONGFELLOW

Sunday is the golden clasp that binds together the volume of the week.— LONGFELLOW

We believe that the first day of the week is the Lord's Day, or Christian Sabbath; and is to be kept sacred to religious purposes, by abstaining from all secular labor and sinful recreations; by the devout observance of all the means of grace, both private and public; and by preparation for that rest that remaineth for the people of God.— BAPTIST CHURCH MANUAL

Nothing draws along with it such a glory as the Sabbath. Never has it unfolded without some witness and welcome, some song and salutation. It has been the coronation day of martyrs - the first day of saints. It has been from the first day till now the sublime day of the church of God; still the outgoings of its morning and evening rejoice. Let us then remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.— JAMES HAMILTON

The longer I live the more highly do I estimate the Christian Sabbath, and the more grateful do I feel towards those who impress its importance on the community.— DANIEL WEBSTER
