Did those who labor, or journey, or seek
their own pleasures in worldly amusemenls on

in "lhe life that now is aud how they forfeit

and spend the day in the public and private cx

the human constitution which as imperativcIy
forbids unceasing bodily and mental toll, as
.te fourth commandment does. Men cannot
safely labor moe than six days in the week.
They must have one day in seven to rest or
they will gradually undermine their health, and
shorten their lives. And those who, though
they lay aside work, spend the day in amuse-
mcuts, lose all the blessings of religious OBJ
