THE Southern Presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland strongly protests against the daring profanation of the Sabbath Day by the L.M.S. and the L.N.E. Railway Companies, and such as use ‘buses or street cars, despite God’s explicit command—”Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy—on it thou shalt not do any work—nor thy man servant nor thy maid servant.” They would seriously warn them of the enormous guilt they incur before God, and are also bringing upon a thoughtless and irreligious public by catering to their sinful propensities. The Presbytery would seriously warn the employees of these companies of their awful guilt in working on the Sabbath Day (except works of necessity and mercy), and would humbly but very seriously advise them to form themselves into a Sabbath Observance Union in order to put an effective stop to such sinful practices. All true Christian shareholders in these Sabbath-desecrating concerns should withdraw their money from them because they are incurring guilt by allowing it to be used in such a God-dishonouring way. The influx of Roman Catholics has greatly augmented this degrading sin, and would-be Presbyterian churches, though they declaim against it, countenance it at the same time. Such are warned to keep clean hands.
He is such a Judge, that there is no repealing of His sentence.—Carlyl.
