No Boisterous Noise and Confusion—Come to the table without levity. Boisterous noise and contention should not be allowed any day of the week; but on the Sabbath all should observe quietness. No loud-toned commands should be heard at any time; but on the Sabbath it is entirely out of place. This is God’s holy day, the day he has set apart to commemorate his creative works, a day he has sanctified and hallowed.—Manuscript 57, 1897. (3SM 257.4) MC VC
