Why Change to Sunday

WHEN Joseph Cook was in San Francisco a reception was given him, at which he answered about fifty questions propounded by the audience. Among others he received these: "Why change from the seventh to the first day?" "What is your opinion of modern Spiritualism?" "Is man by nature immortal, and do the wicked live at all after death?" We know his answers to the last two, but would be pleased to learn his answer to the first, which it is said he "promptly and decidedly answered." We would like to know if he offered any better reason than, "We do it because we want to, and think we have the right to." That, after all, is the sum of all reasons for keeping Sunday instead of Sabbath.
