Southern Presbytery Resolution on Sabbath Desecration.
At a meeting of the Southern Presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, held in Glasgow, the following resolution was unanimously passed:—”The Presbytery desire vehemently to protest against the desecration of the Fourth Commandment, perpetrated so daringly and persistently by leading members of the Government of this country, and by the Corporations of the Cities of London, Glasgow, etc., thereby bringing guilt and God’s wrath upon our nation and its cities, etc. The Presbytery would warn, with all seriousness, transgressors of the Law of God in general, and desecrators of the Fourth Commandment in particular, that God will assuredly bring us as a nation, and as cities, and as individuals, to a strict account for our provoking sins, except timely repentance will prevent the impending judgment.”
