Al this wus what Jesus protested ngalngt, not sualnst the simplo +Sabbath reet-day, as Moses bhad left it, but ncainst the Sabbath as the rctufug{,flng Babbutarlanism of the Pharlsces wd made §t. As for the Subbathitself, 1o gave mien the true principle about it—*"The Sabbath wus mnde for man," and there Ie left it; Ho nelther abolished 1t nor cujotned (ts continnance, Its abollshing, amongst the Christlans, vame whout afterwards. When the Gospel began to spread among Gentlle peoples, the Bubbatl gradually dropped. The narrow Judalziug anl.? wanted foreo all Lo knc})) it, but auf utterly Prntu(cd agalnset thut, Do just ns you think right about {t; that fs, in effect, his counsel, The poorer Gentile Chrlstinns had not cven that cholee. ’l‘lwf‘ could not do as they liked, They were mostl g'\\'ork~pcuplc. niany of themn slaves, The SabDath rest was &imply an Imposelbility to them; and so, ns nshuple fuct, it (id_get passed by, and dropped clean out of Christian waya. But then, see what happened] The Chrlstians must muc‘, though, awuy from Judea anl Judalsm, they had no Sabbath for thelr meet- jogs. The first day of the week was the day that had most spectal associutions with Chrlst ut- taching to it, and sg, very early, Clirlstian feel- ing l'mucnml on that *“first doy of the week " for thelr special mectings, They did not keep 18 o Subbuthj they could noty they were puor Tollk who bad to work that day us other duys,— but that duy, Defore it was lght, after it was dark, they came together in memory of Christ, They did so through tho times of jghominy and persceution. When casler duys came, Lhuy Aid bo all the more. _ And so, gradually, that Ffiest day of tho week,' asu day set apart to happy Christian rellmufx!p and worship, grew intos scttled justitution, Gradually, ns the Christians Decame a large community, they began to keep the whole of it g8 a rest-day, * low much tho memorles of tho old Hebrew Sabbath, kept alive by the Scripturces they wero constantly reading, helped themn noone can tell, 1t must have ha somcthing to do with it, and when ut lust Coustantine heeamen Chrl'stlrm, this ceasing ork on ‘the day of the Sun," as the Romang called It, had becotno 8o notieeable a feature In Cheistian 1fe_that he adopted it as o yest-doy for the whole Emplre, and 1ssued an ediet coni- munding that ontho **Bun-day " al] unnecessary lubor should be give up, It was not o command that men should worship on that day, simply that they should rest from labor, Bo rame Suo- day as tiie rest-day of Christendom. And to mny mind this reappearance of the institution of & weekly rest-duy, Independent of the Sabhath, und «quite upnrl from sny ldea of obeylng the old Mosnic law, §s 2 more striking testlinony to the value and need of such s rest-duy thannny mere perpetuation of the Subbath ftself could Lave bieen, Thave shown you,then,first,Lhat this institution of a goneral rest-day stands irm and stroug on tho fell need aud volue of it In the }m:auut; and 1 have shown you, sccondly, how the arguinent for its usefulncss and alue 18 fmulensel strengthened by seelng how that uselul- ness was dlscerued w8 o divios necessity by Judaism, uwd cquully discerned in adiferent way by Christionliy, And_now, in concluslon, I want to suy a little about liow this institution should be used and maintatned, Tmust put the firet and greatest stress upon that which I have luid down as its pecultar use, —slmpla yest. I belfeve that tho splrit of the old Lebrew law Is stlll the true guids for ns— the stoppuge of all nnnocessny work, of all work for which thero fs not some cleor case clther of ncmsalt{‘ charity, or general good, It {u not 80 casy to draw Lhe Jine of this now, as it wasin those old primitiys times.
