SABBATH DESECRATION.
“Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work” (Exo. 20:8-10). This is God's unchanging law, and no pressure of circumstances can possibly warrant our defiance of the same. All history testifies to the fact that the Lord God is very jealous of His Sabbath, and that He (sooner or later) manifests His sore displeasure upon those who desecrate it. He has recently done so upon Great Britain. No sooner did our munitions factories start on a seven day a week program than we lost practically the whole of our B.E.F. equipment in Flanders! No sooner did the Welsh coal miners start working on the Lord's Day, than France capitulated, and we lost our best coal customer! “Be not deceived: God is not mocked.” And now it is announced, “For the first time on a Sunday the Zoo in Regent's Park is to be open at 1 o'clock to the general public.” Of old God asked, “What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the Sabbath Day? Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the Sabbath” (Neh. 13:17, 18). If our present wicked Sabbath desecration continues, we shall certainly bring “more wrath” from God upon Great Britain. A.W.P.
