"Sabbath" means "rest," and the meaning of the word gives a hint as to
the true way to observe the day. God rested after creation, and
ordained the sabbath as a rest for man. He blessed it and hallowed it.
"Remember _the rest-day_ to keep it _holy_." It is the day when the
body may be refreshed and strengthened after six days of labor, and
the soul drawn into closer fellowship with its Maker.
True observance of the sabbath may be considered under two general
heads: cessation from ordinary secular work, and religious exercises.
