Excerpt from The Christian Sabbath: Its History, Authority, Duties, Benefits, and Civil Relations; A Series of Discourses
The literature of the Sabbath in this country is singu larly meagre. No considerable treatise is known to have been issued for a quarter of a century. The pres ent contribution claims to be little more than a mono gram: still leaving to be supplied the discussion Of a vi tal question in its manifold relations.
The Discourses in this volume, form a part of the se ries delivered before crowded assemblies in the winter of 1862, on the invitation of the New York Sabbath Committee, by the Rev. Drs. Rice, Hague, Ganse, Adams, Foster, Vinton, and Schafi', in the fifth-avenue Presbyterian, Collegiate Reformed Dutch, Madison Square Presbyterian, madison-avenue Baptist, St. George's Episcopal, and St. Mark's Lutheran churches. The Sermon of the rev. Dr. Foster, on the Abuses of the Sabbath, was unwritten, and his health did not per mit him to prepare it for the press. That Of the rev. Dr. Schaff has not yet been fu'rnished for publication.
