Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the efforts made by the Sabbath Reform Committee to improve Sabbath observance in New York City. The author presents extensive data and statistics that underscore the negative impact of Sabbath desecration on society. In particular, he focuses on the link between the sale of liquor and other vices on Sundays and the increase in crime and pauperism. The author argues that the enforcement of existing laws against such activities is crucial for the restoration and protection of a civil Sabbath. Despite resistance from powerful interests, the Committee's efforts led to significant progress, including the successful suppression of Sunday liquor traffic and the holding of a public meeting to advocate for Sabbath observance among German immigrants. The book concludes by highlighting the importance of the Sabbath for both individuals and communities, emphasizing its role in promoting physical, moral, and religious well-being.
