Excerpt from The Sabbath: Its Permanence, Promise, and Defence
This book considers the new, various, and formidable attacks upon the Christian Sabbath, and marshals science, history, and revelation in its defence. It is not encumbered by citations of authorities, but free use has been made of other works on the subject. In attempting a restatement of the Sabbath argument of the centuries, it has sought not so much to make it original or novel, as comprehensive, incisive, and effective. The great alternative is a Sabbath, a Creator, a spiritual world, a reign of righteousness, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the dead, and life everlasting; or no Sabbath, no God, no soul, no spiritual kingdom, no redemption, no perfected humanity, and no hope of heaven. To this stupendous issue the attention of all thoughtful and serious men is invited. Father Ravignan forcibly says: "I do not see that practical atheism can be more thoroughly expressed than by the habitual public and universal violation of the Lord's Day. No more worship, no more religion, practically no more God."
