"GOD gave commandment by his prophet that men should call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable.
He attached a rich promise to the duty thus enjoined. Thus saith the Scriptures:
"If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable; and shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words; then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." Isa. 58:13, 14.
And God said, "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God."
*Yet to-day the most of men, even of those who profess to be God's 
people, instead of calling the Lord's Sabbath a delight, call it a burden ad a token of bondage.
*Instead of calling it the holy of the Lord, they call it "the old Jewish sabbath."
*Instead of its being called honorable, it is despised and made a subject of reproach to those who would count it honorable.
Surely there must be something wrong with the people, when the word of God is so reversed; when the day upon which he put honor, is persistently and intentionally dishonored; when the day which he blessed is cursed." J.N. Andrews
