A Well-Deserved Rebuff
IllustrationStory★★★When I first held meetings in Glasgow, my committee (without my knowledge) sent to a large livery establishment to engage a cab to drive me to my meetings on the Sabbath. The proprietor was a godly man, and sent me this message— “Tell Mr. Moody he will do as much good by walking to his meetings as by driving three or four miles through the Fourth Commandment.”

The point
When a livery owner refused to provide a Sunday cab, telling Moody he could walk to his meetings as well as drive through the Fourth Commandment, it stood as a well-deserved rebuff over Sabbath-keeping.
