Our Sabbaths in Danger
A Sermon, deprecating the contemplated opening of the Crystal Palace on the Lord's-Day
Transcribed from the 1852 Wertheim and Macintosh edition by David Price
"Our Sabbaths in Danger" by Daniel Moore is a sermon written in the early 19th century that addresses the moral and spiritual implications of opening the Crystal Palace on the Lord's Day. This theological work discusses the sanctity of the Sabbath, its historical origins, and the consequences of its desecration, reflecting a period of intense religious sentiment characteristic of the Victorian era. The sermon aims to emphasize that the Sabbath was established for humanity's benefit, rather than merely as a ritual obligation. In the sermon, Moore passionately argues against the planned opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays, viewing it not only as a potential desecration of the Sabbath but also as a threat to the moral fabric of society. He explores biblical principles that underscore the Sabbath's importance, urging believers to resist the cultural shift towards secularization that compromises their religious values. Moore warns of the detrimental effects this change would have on the community's spiritual life and affirms that the sanctity of the Sabbath must be preserved to ensure both personal devotion and societal morality. Through historical context and theological reasoning, he calls for a spirited defense of the Lord's Day against encroaching secular influences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
