The Lord’s Day: “A Wholesome School of Discipline”

Phillip_Schaff

The due observance of [the Christian Sabbath] . . . is a wholesome school of discipline, a means of grace for the people, a safeguard of public morality and religion, a bulwark against infidelity, and a source of immeasurable blessing to the church, the state, and the family. Next to the Church and the Bible, the Lord’s Day is the chief pillar of Christian Society.”
