To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It would be well if we of modern days had remembered it. It is not often we see 218 THE HOLY DAY AND THE HOLIDAY 219 our little Samuels making a recreation of calling on the Lord. Why so ? Because the Lord is to us not a recreation. We never associate religion with a holiday, with an hour of pleasure, with a moment of relaxation. It always brings to us a sense of obligation, of restraint, of imposed fetters. Surely there is something wrong here ! Should not the climax of worship be love! Is not... love the holiday of the soul ! Is it not the hour when I forget my cares, when I lose my burdens ! Is it not the season when I get the sense that the lessons are all over, that the tasks are remitted, that the duties are annulled ! The academy becomes an Arcadia. The law becomes liberty. The lesson hour is the leisure hour. The place of toil is a playground. Love makes the fretful free, the laden Hght, the weighted willing. Martha has ceased to be martyred; Peter numbers not his precepts to forgive ; Elijah enlarges not on the troubles he endures.
