Perquinos Church Services ,PW,I '' it mmm THE RIGHT USE OF SUNDAY - i ' T i n i n i h .i i t uiieriwuunni auuaay dcdwh ucbbuu For May 11, 1952. Memory Selection: "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy." Exodus '20: 8. Lesson Text': Exodus 20: 8-11; ': Mark-2: 27-28; Luke 4: 16; 13: 10-17. . GO TO SOME ,',NEXT SUNDAY , ; - - . BE A Cirrx wi - cmzizn ' ; We have for this week's study a con sideration of the Fourth Command,! ment, which concerns the Sabbath Day. ' We have seen that the First Com mandment has to do with the oneness 1 or uniqueness of God, the Second Com mandment with the worship of God, the Third Commandment with the rev erence for God and the commandment for our study-this week, the Fourth, with the right use of the day of God. A close study of the Ten Com mandments, as a whole, reveals the fact that the first three Command ments concern man's duty to God; the last six concern man's duty to his f ellowmen, while the FourtH Com mandment forms a link between the two having to do with man's duty tcr God in the, setting apart or keep ing holy one drfy in seven, and his moral duty to others in regard to the keeping of the Sabbath Day. As a means of causing his people to remember him and his goodness to them and to be faithful unto him, and, also, as a means of enriching their own lives, God gave unto them the Sabbath Day as a day of rest and wor ship. ! ; ' :" Quite a bit of discussion and dis sention has arisen in recent years as to the proper observance of the Sab bath. If one is really sincere in seek ing he right manner of keeping the Sabbath, he has only to recall the words of the Fourth Commandment, "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy." The word "holy" eliminates the pos sibility of much that some have ac cepted as a proper observance of the Sabbath. Instead of being a sacred or holy day, many 'people have thoughtlessly made it a holiday- day in which , self its wants, needs and desires are enthroned and all thoughts of God and his kingdom .forgotten.':' . i The word "Sabbath" " in Hebrew means to break off, or to desist, or simply a time of cessation from work. Someone has said, "The greatest gift God ever made to the world was the gift of His Son. Next in importance to this gift we may place the gift of the Sabbath day, for it was given for our: highest benefit" God, in his wonderful provision for man. realized his need for a day of rest physical, mental and spiritual." When God gave man the Sabbath, . he was not laying a burden on him, He knew that man's body would grow stronger and be capable of more ser vice, if he rested one day in seven. A great business man, when asked if he thought the Sabbath was beneficial to man, said: "The Sabbath day is for our iphysical good. AH nature needs periods of rest. Animals thrive better and do more work, u given regular periods of rest. Men are the same.' Even machinery and tools. of iron and steel need occasional rest, or they lose their durability. OPhyst clans have found that the keeping of the Sabbath improves health, and it has been proved over and over that people can accomplish .more work if they rest 6ne day in seven.'" Let na never forget that the Sab bath s God's day. It does not be long to us to do with as we please. It is a day set apart from the other six days, on which man works lor turn' self, and there should be a complete cessation of all ordinary labor which' 18 not aosouneiy necessary, me uay should be made one of real rest and recreation through worship. How did Jesus keep the , Sabbath when he was on earth? , First,. he al ways went to Je synagogue and took part in the formal worship of Ms day. But he did not consider that this was all that he should do. He rendered unselfish service to others, healing the sick, comforting the sad and bles sing all with whom he came in con tact v.:: ,: r ': Surely? we, as Christians, need to-j look no further for an example of proper Sabbath observance or how we may profitably "remember the Sab bath day to keep it holy.'f Let' be so busy doing' those things w. should do that we will have no time to .do those we know we shouldn't lo.

There is a profound difference between these two days ... ; MOTHER'S Day with the accent on Mother is the second Sunday in May, when we honor Mother hood, and express our deep affection for Mother. Mother's DAY with the accent on Day is every day of the year. It is' Mother's unending labor of love. It is Monday's wash and Tuesday's ironing, the meals to be cooked and the beds to be made, the bruises to be healed and the prayers to be heard. . And at the close of her DAY, Mother has prayers of her own for her little-ones, her husband and her self. . , God is answering many of those prayers through the Church.
