Title The Sabbath and the Crystal Palace
Credits Transcribed from the [1860s] J. F. Shaw edition by David Price
Summary "The Sabbath and the Crystal Palace" by Anonymous is a critical discourse written during the mid-19th century, likely in the 1860s. This book takes the form of a social and religious treatise, examining the relevance and interpretation of Sabbath observance in the context of contemporary society. The primary focus is on the implications of opening the Crystal Palace for public exhibition on Sundays, raising questions about the sanctity of the Sabbath and its observance in a rapidly changing cultural landscape. In this treatise, the author addresses the emerging debate surrounding Sabbath observance, emphasizing the necessity of a day of rest for spiritual, mental, and physical rejuvenation. The text argues against the idea of using Sundays for secular amusement, as proposed by the advocates of the Crystal Palace, positing that such practices undermine the spiritual purpose of the Sabbath. The author claims that the true meaning of the Sabbath extends beyond mere physical respite or intellectual entertainment and should instead be cherished as a divine ordinance for the spiritual growth and eternal well-being of humanity. Through this examination, the book serves as a staunch defense of traditional religious values against modern secular influences, advocating for a deeper understanding of Sabbath’s intended purpose.
