Over
a lifetime of observation, it is clear to me that the farmer who observes
the Sabbath day seems to get more done on his farm than he would if
he worked seven days. The mechanic will be able to turn out more and
better products in six days than in seven. The doctor, the lawyer, the
dentist, the scientist will accomplish more by trying to rest on the
Sabbath than if he tries to utilize every day of the week for his professional
work. I would counsel all students, if they can, to arrange their schedules
so that they do not study on the Sabbath. If students and other seekers
after truth will do this, their minds will be quickened and the infinite
Spirit will lead them to the verities they wish to learn. This is because
God has hallowed his day and blessed it as a perpetual covenant of faithfulness.
