How carefully does Mr. Jones teach the slaves "to search the Scriptures"! ("Catechism," p. 103.)
"Q. Is not our duty, on the sabbath, to go to the house of God, to the meeting for prayer, to the sabbath-school, and wherever we may worship God and learn his will?—A. Yes.
"Q. What was done with the man that gathered sticks on the sabbath-day, not caring for God's commandment?—A. He was stoned.
"Q. Is sabbath-breaking a great sin in the sight of God?—A. Yes. (Ib. p. 104) He who breaks the sabbath robs God of his own; for the day is the Lord's."
