Unintentional Sabbath Breaking.
In tbe early days of New England It
was tbe custom to keep tbe Sabbath
from sundown Saturday night until
tbe same hour on Sunday. That this
practise was attended by pitfalls is
shown by an incident told in "The Pa
pers of tbe Connecticut Valley Histor
ical Society:”
There lived in Ryefield a thrifty
dame, an enterprising, driving woman
and a notable housewife. The good wo
man «as not willing to lose Sunday
evening« out of her catalogue of bouso-
work, but she was pious withal and
strictly kept the day to the sunset
limit As soon as the sun was fairly
below tbe horizon she would begin her
washing and get her clothes ready for
drying bright and early on Monday
morning.
One cloudy Sunday she. supposing
the day was ended, changed her Sun
day gown, rolled up her sleeves and
went to work. As she was scrubbing
away In the kitchen, her face toward
the west window, the clouds suddenly
broke, and the great round sun shone
In full on the poor Sabbath breaker at
work. She gave one cry of amazement
anil horror and fled the kitchen.
After that sinful day she never be
gan her work on Sunday evening.
