Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy

Here is the next story....I know that it's been awhile...

This one is about Anker August Kofoed. Anker was a true believer in keeping the Sabbath Day Holy. It grieved him greatly to see someone breaking that commandment, as he knew that if they did they would suffer in some way. When we obtain blessing from the Lord it is by obedience to the laws. An instance happened to show this: One Sunday there was a group of men and boys who did not go to church and were looking for something to do. One of them had a wild horse and they decided to ride it. Anker came by and begged them not to do this on a Sunday. He told them that it wouldn’t turn out right, but they just laughed at him. There was one promising young man in the group who took an oath and said that he could ride anything. He was thrown from the horse and was hurt very severely. He survived and lived a few years, then he took his own life.
