Sunday Reform and Divine Authority
The article in another column on “A Special National Danger,” adds one more to the many efforts now being made to arouse the national conscience to the importance of supporting the Sunday institution. Its premises are true, its reasoning sound, and its object good, if only Sunday could claim anything higher in its support than human authority. But, as observed by A. H. Lewis, there can be no real Sabbath reform in connection with any other day than the one enjoined in the divine Sabbath law. Hence these attempts, if successful, as we understand they will be, will only result in an anti-christian and oppressive system, antagonistic to the truth of God, in fulfillment of the prophetic word.
