NO SABBATH.
(Wingliam Times, Oct. 1872.)
In a prize essay on the Sabbath,
written by a journeyman printer in
Scotland, which for singular power of
language and beauty of expression has
never been surpassed, there occurs the
following passage. Read it, and then
reflect for a while, what a dreary and
desolate page would this life present
if the Sabbath were blotted out from
our calculation.
Yokefellow I think how the abstrac-
tion of the Sabbath would hoplessly en-
slave the working classes with whom
we are identified. Think of labor going
on in one monotonous and eternal cycle,
limbs forever on the rack, fingers for-
ever straining, the brow forever sweat-
ing, the feet forever plodding, the brain
forever throbbing, the shoulders for-
ever drooping, the loins forever aching,
and the restless mind forever scheming.
Think of the beauty it would efface,
the merry -heartedness it would extin-
guish, of the giant strength it would
take of the resources of nature it would
crush, of the sickness it would breed,
of the project it would wreck, of the
groans it would extort, of the lives it
would immolate, and of the cheerless
graves it would prematurely dig? See
them toiling and moiling, sweating and
fretting, gringing and hewing, weaving
and spinning, strewing and gathering,
mowing and reaping, raising and build-
ing, digging and planting, striving and
struggling, in the garden and in the
field, in the granary and in the barn,
in the factory and in the mill, in the
warehouse and in the shop, on the
mountain and in the ditch, on the road-
side and in the wood, in the city and in
the country, on the sea and on the shore,
in the day of brightness and of gloom.
What a picture would the world present
if we had no Sabbath.
