Discourses On The Origin Universal Obligation And General Usefulness Of The Sabbath Etc PDF Download

Excerpt from Discourses on the Origin, Universal Obligation, Perpetuity, Duties and General Usefulness of the Sabbath: Delivered in the Capitol of the United States The text invites us to a consideration of the Sabbath. When we consider the antiquity of this Institution, the purposes for which it was ordained, - the importance which has been attached to it in all ages of the world, - its high authority, and the blessings which its observance secures to mankind individually and socially, religiously and politically, there are manifestly few subjects which present higher claims to our regard. It demands the attention of all classes of society. The christian, the philanthropist, the statesman, the lover of his country, indeed all men, have a direct and vital interest in this Divine ordinance, because it involves principles and duties which are essential to human safety, and to the order, harmony and general well-being of every community.
