What does it take to get a Baptist preacher to not preach a sermon on Sunday morning? The potential loss of life seems to be a good reason. William Carey dedicated his life as a missionary to India and came across a local practice of burning widows alive after their husbands died. Fortunately, it had been outlawed and when Carey found out about the new law on Sunday morning December 6, 1829, he decided to put preaching aside and translate the new law into Bengali so the people of that language could stop the practice.
