On the Sabbath as a day peculiarly suited for meditation (Silas Milton Andrews)

[Reformed Covenanter]

Meditation, though a difficult duty, is essentially necessary to a healthful state of mind, and is suited to no day more than to the Sabbath. The cares of the world are then shut out, and every thing seems to constrain us to turn our thoughts within.
