When she led him into the kirk of a sabbath morning, all the neighbours greeted the dutiful daughter with an approving smile, and the old man looked so serene and happy that Jeanie was fully repaid for her labours of love. Her industry and piety often formed the theme of conversation to the young lads of the village. "What a guid wife Jeanie Burns wull mak'!" cried one.
Hatfield is correct you and I have tremendous changes to make in our way of spending the Sabbath; and I have actually prided myself on the way in which I respected the day!" And Ruth laughed as if that were so strange a thought, now that it was hardly possible to think that she could have entertained it. "I know," Flossy said; "and he can not but be right, for he proved his position.
From Babylon the Jews borrowed the legends of Eden, of the Fall, the Flood, the Tower of Babel; from Babylon they borrowed the Sabbath, and very likely the Commandments; and is it not possible that the legendary Moses and the legendary Sargon may be variants of a still more ancient mythical figure?
I go and see him, whi now and then. He is a busy man." "And the er minister?" "He is Dr Strang. He has the Presbyterian Church in Howard Street. I have sat under him every Sabbath since I came to London." "Wh what for?" asked Kitty involuntarily, and in a rather awestruck voice.

But now there was a little stir outside, and a voice shouted "What ho! who cried for help?" "Who art thou, and where?" "I have fallen into the cess-pool; I pray thee, friend, whoever thou art, to bring or send me something on which I can rest till sunset, and then help me forth."
I delight in his society, and hope never to miss it while I stay. I am not strong, and some day I fear I shall not be able to preach when the Sabbath dawns. If I do fail at any time, I shall secure his help."
It belongs to the Portuguese community, and was established 148 years ago by an English gentleman of the name of "Franco."

On his return to the house of his host, he found every member of the family prepared to welcome the Sabbath.
