The Season of Rest
Mark 6:30-31
And the apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.…


The first of these principles is that rest is the result and the fruit of labour and toil; it is the right and duty of workers. The second principle which I venture to lay down with reference to recreation is this — that its proper object is to prepare us for further work. There is yet one other principle to be noticed in connection with our subject, viz., that in our rest and recreation we should maintain a consciousness of God's presence, and carry out the apostolic rule — whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

(J. F. Kitto, M. A.)
