“Swift Decadence of Sunday. What Next?” By A. H. Lewis, D.D. 220 pages, cloth, $1.00, published by American Sabbath Tract Society, Plainfield, N. J.
The matter is considered in twelve chapters, the first five of which are devoted to testimony from popular churches on the decay of Sunday observance, three chapters on the Christian responsibility, neglect, and defense of Sunday, the remaining chapters treating of the reasons for the decay of Sunday, and true Sabbath reform. In his introduction the author states that the book is written for the sake of massing facts, which are God’s commentary on theories, practises and institutions, the only safe basis for conclusions. For those seeking the truth concerning the Sabbath, the latter half of the work is worth much; the chapter “Roman Catholics and Sunday” contains some striking statements from Catholic authorities concerning their part in the change of the Sabbath. The closing chapter, “Return to God’s Sabbath,” is a strong argument for the true Sabbath.
