Excerpt from The Sabbath Manual Ends for which the Sabbath was appointed, and reasons why it should be observed. Man is mortal and immortal. His body will soon die and mingle with the dust. His soul will live, in a state of conscious, intelligent, moral, and accountable existence, for ever. Knowledge is the food by which it grows in piety, Wisdom, useful ness, and bliss. Of all the knowledge of which it is capable, the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ is the most important. This is life - eternal life.
