I. LET US FIRST TAKE THE NEGATIVE VIEW.

1. We are forbidden to do any work upon the Sabbath.

2. We are forbidden to make the Sabbath a day of pleasure (Isaiah 58:13, 14).

3. The Sabbath is not to be a day of sloth.

II. NOTICE THE POSITIVE DUTIES IMPLIED IN KEEPING THE SABBATH HOLY.

1. Portions of the Sabbath should be devoted to public religious worship.

2. Portions of the Sabbath are due to special private devotion.

3. Portions of the Sabbath should be devoted to religious reading.

4. A portion of the Sabbath is very properly adjudged to Sunday-school work.

5. What remains of the Sabbath, deducting the time for necessary temporal cares, should be devoted to family religion.

(H. Winslow.)
