"And on the Seventh Day . . ."

The New Testament used to be the creed upon which Exclusives based their way of life, but they now adhere to the Old Testament literally in some respects. For instance, the Jewish Sabbath, Saturday, has become almost as important to them as Sunday, the first day of the week. As God rested on the Seventh Day, so do the Exclusives, apart from attending Saturday morning meetings. The day is devoted to quiet activities (such as reading or visiting the other sect members) in preparation for the rigours of the Lord's Day. Children were not encouraged to do homework on Saturdays, if this could be avoided. No Exclusive works on a Saturday.
