LDS youths working on Sabbath
A Sunday School instructor was once called to teach a large group of 16-year-olds. Counted among the students were two young men from solid, LDS Church-going families.
The teacher enjoyed having the young men in his class. They were good boys, arriving for class each week with scriptures in hand and thoughtful ideas to discuss.
When both of the boys missed class one Sunday, the teacher guessed they were sick or perhaps vacationing with their families. Then the boys missed a second and then a third Sunday. Concerned, the teacher asked the other teens if they knew the whereabouts of their two friends.
The students answered that both boys had found part-time work. Since they were new to the job, they were each required to fill the Sunday shift.
