Monday Club Sermons Mark 2:27-28 And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:… What are the great working factors of society? Why, we say, the family, the church, and the school — law and order. Put neglect upon any of these great fountains and the stream grows muddy and shallow, and yet no agency is more potent in conserving these social factors than the Sabbath. It acts as a brake upon the rush and roar of traffic and self-interest, which for six days engross the mind and busy the hand. It bids men stop and breathe, think of God and cultivate the social amenities of life, and thereby makes them better neighbours and better citizens. (Monday Club Sermons.)
