The Pearl of Days

This compelling essay by social reformer Barbara H. Farquhar makes a powerful case for the importance of rest and Sabbath observance in the lives of working-class people. Drawing on her own experiences as a teacher and social worker, as well as her deep Christian faith, Farquhar argues that Sabbath-keeping is not only a religious obligation, but a moral and social imperative that can help to alleviate the suffering of the poor and oppressed.
