Summary "The New Crystal Palace and the Christian Sabbath" by John Weir is a religious discourse presented as a tract published in the early 1850s. This work reflects the social and religious concerns of the time, specifically addressing the implications of opening the newly constructed Crystal Palace on Sundays. Weir argues against the idea of permitting recreational activities and public exhibitions on the Christian Sabbath, emphasizing a need to uphold the sanctity and observance of this day as divinely ordained. In the book, Weir outlines the perceived dangers of violating the Sabbath through secular activities, suggesting such actions are a step towards national immorality and divine judgment. He references scriptural principles, historical examples, and contemporary societal trends to argue that the public opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays could lead to the erosion of spiritual values and societal order. Weir calls upon Christians to unite in opposition to this change, framing it as a moral duty to honor God's law and maintain the sanctity of the Sabbath amidst an increasingly permissive society.
