C.J. Vaughan, D.D., Head Master of Harrow School, Entitled “A Few Words on the Crystal Palace Question” Mutiny Transcribed from the 1853 Wertheim and Macintosh edition by David Price "The Divine and Perpetual Obligation of the Observance of the Sabbath" by Rev. John Perowne is a theological treatise written in the mid-19th century. This work engages in a critical discussion surrounding the Sabbath observance, particularly in response to Rev. C.J. Vaughan's pamphlet that challenged its relevance in contemporary Christian practice. It defends the notion of a divinely instituted Sabbath, arguing for its ongoing significance and necessity for moral and religious life. In this extensive work, Perowne confronts various modern interpretations that suggest the Sabbath has lost its relevance under the new covenant of Christianity. He thoroughly examines scriptural references, particularly those in the Old Testament, to assert that the command to observe the Sabbath remains binding on Christians. Perowne emphasizes that the lack of direct New Testament commands does not negate the law’s authority, positing that like all divine commandments, the essence and purpose of the Sabbath are timeless. The treatise articulates theological, moral, and practical reasons for maintaining Sabbath observance, arguing that neglecting this commandment could lead to spiritual decline and societal moral failure.
