Sabbath: Fate of the Sabbath-Breaker
A worldly man living on the shores of a beautiful lake built a
yacht for pleasure excursions. The minister called upon him and
expressed his fears that it would demoralize the young people and
prove a Sabbath-breaker. The man said, defiantly, "That is just what
I'll name my boat. She shall be called the Sabbath-Breaker." She was
launched upon a Sunday, and her trial trip was made also on a Sunday.
Many were invited to the excursion. Her ill-omened name floated on the
flag, and caused many to refuse to go on board. A large company went,
and mirth, music, and dancing were the order. But this blasphemy was
too much for God; the "Sabbath-Breaker" was wrecked, and many were
drowned.
