“As a moral and social institution, a weekly rest is invaluable. It is a quiet domestic reunion for the bustling sons of toil. It ensures the necessary vacation in those earthly and turbulent anxieties and affections, which would otherwise become inordinate and morbid. It brings around a season of periodical neatness and decency, when the soil of weekly labour is laid aside, and men meet each other amidst the decencies of the sanctuary, and renew their social affections. But above all, a Sabbath (one day of rest in seven) is necessary for man's moral and religious interests.” MenWarSocialInterestReligiousMoralSonOne DayQuietAnxietySeasonsInstitutionsSevenAffectionSoilLabourVacationToilDecencySanctuarySabbathReunionMorbidInvaluableSocial InstitutionsNeatnessDay Of Rest Author:Robert Dabney
“I desire before I leave the world, as my best legacy to my family,, my serious, solemn advice, to make choice of my God for their God. He has been my father's God, and the God of your Mother's predecessors. I solemnly charge you to make it your first care to seek after peace with God, and being reconciled, to make it your study to please God in all things.” WorldFirstsHas BeensWarCareMotherDesireChoicesFatherStudyAdviceSeriousPleaseAll ThingsMy FamilyLegacySolemnPredecessorsPeace With God Author:Robert Dabney
