The Lord's Right in the Sabbath Above that of the People
Mark 2:27-28
And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:…


We hear a great deal about the people's rights in selecting their own amusements on Sunday. I would not invade the people's rights, but it seems to me that the Lord has some rights. You are at the head of your family; you have a right to govern the family. The Governor is at the head of the State; he governs the State. The President is at the head of the nation; he governs the nation. The Lord God is at the head of the universe, and He has a right to lay down an enactment: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." Whether popular or unpopular, I now declare that the people have no rights except those which the Lord God Almighty gives them.
