The Sabbath / A Paper Read at the Conference of the Evangelical Alliance, Held at Geneva, September 2. 1861

The author presents a defence of weekly Sabbath observance grounded in its divine origin, Mosaic reaffirmation, and Christian continuity, describes distinctive Scottish practice treating the whole day as consecrated to religious activity, sketches a typical well-spent Sabbath with family worship and restraint from secular work and recreation, outlines variations in exercises left to individual and church discretion, and warns of contemporary threats to strict observance while urging deeper scriptural conviction and public commitment to maintain the day's holiness.
