The pearl of days : $b or, The advantages of the Sabbath to the working classes
Farquhar, Barbara H. (Barbara Henry)
Christian life; Christian literature; Didactic literature; Sabbath; Sunday; Working class -- Conduct of life
The Sabbath interferes with the interests of none but those who live by
the ignorance, superstition, vice, and degradation of mankind; those
who have their wealth from Babylon the great, who traffic in “slaves
and souls of men.”
Let all, then, of every class and station, examine this subject; the
more it is viewed in the light of truth, the more its importance will
appear. He who is desirous of the well-being of his fellow-men, ought
not, and cannot consistently, pass it lightly by; and even he whose
contracted mind looks only at his personal interest, may not safely
slight it.

THE
Christian Union and Religious Memorial.
EDITED BY
REV. ROBERT BAIRD, D. D.
PUBLISHED MONTHLY,
AT TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE.
THIS magazine is devoted to the cause of Christian Union among all
Evangelical denominations, and its great object will be to make the
Church below more like the Church above, by the infusion of that spirit
of Christian love and brotherly kindness which should distinguish all
the members of _Christ’s_ body, whatever name they bear on earth. It
will contain essays on Christian union and collateral subjects, by some
of the best writers at home and abroad.
Another essential feature of our work will be a monthly memorial
or resumé of the progress of religion in all lands. We shall pay
particular attention to missionary operations throughout the world, and
keep our readers acquainted with the progress of religion in foreign
countries by the various missionaries there employed.
Our foreign correspondence will be extensive and various, and our
readers will thus be kept informed of the changes and progress of
events in Europe.
Although we shall keep clear of discussions on doctrinal points, we
shall feel at full liberty to animadvert freely on whatever we may
deem errors in practice, wherever they may exist. At the same time, we
shall advocate, with all our powers, every true Christian reform which
shall tend to improve and elevate mankind.
Our work has already received the highest commendations, and our
arrangements will enable us to make considerable improvements the
coming year.
