Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Sabbath: Scientific, Republican, and Christian
But It Is remarkable that these public trans gressions Of the Fourth Commandment are not regarded, either by the Offenders, or by the com munity, as involving such condemnable immorality as the violation Of any Of the other command ments Of the moral law. A Christian employer may rob his servant Of his Sabbath rest fifty-two times a year without any reproach; but, if he rob bed him only once Of his Sabbath's wages, all the newspapers would pillory him as a scoundrel. An elder who Should repeatedly profane God's name, would certainly be disciplined; but he may com pel his servants to profane God's Sabbath habit ually without any loss Of church privileges, and almost without diminution Of Christian character.
