Many inroads are being made on the sanctity of the Sabbath and this does not augur well for our land. Strenuous efforts are being made to obtain unrestricted Sabbath trading. Already in many quarters Sabbath sport has become commonplace and yet the Sabbath breakers are not satisfied. All restrictions must be removed. The end of the year is used as an occasion for justifying the opening of shops on the Sabbath because of the increased trade at that time. One firm after another succumbs to the temptation, not considering the curse of God which it will bring upon them. Woolworths who were leaders in this evil practice now find themselves in financial difficulties. How can it be otherwise when they
defy God? May other companies take warning from their example. May the Lord be pleased to thwart the efforts that are afoot for the further secularisation of the Lord’s Day.
