A Return to the “Puritan Sunday” Advocated

By W. A. C.

A WRITER in Sabbath and Home expresses himself thus:—

“The preservation of Sunday as a day of rest and worship is as necessary to the higher life of the nation as the setting aside of the other days of the week for labor is to our material prosperity. One reason for much of the disorder in our industrial and domestic life is found in the vicious disregard on the part of the people of the underlying principles of the Puritan Sunday. When we are wise enough to adopt and adapt these principles to the real necessities of our present situation, we shall have a happy exit from many troubles that are grievous to endure, and enter upon an epoch of national quiet and contentment.”

Thus enforced Sunday observance is set forth as the panacea for all national ills.
