Sunday Observance and Roman Catholicism

The movement in behalf of the better observance of Sunday in England, in which the Roman Catholics have united with Protestants, is, as we expected, leading some persons to do some sober thinking upon the matter. The following paragraph from Present Truth (London) deals with one such instance:—

While many are calling out in alarm at the rapid increase of Roman Catholic institutions in England, they themselves are helping to establish one. The Rev. W. R. Mowll protests that in seeking the help of the Church of Rome in the campaign for Sunday observance, the Church of England is asking aid of her “deadliest foe.” This is true. The Sunday is an offspring of the Church of Rome, and in working for the Sunday, Protestants are working for the interests of the Church of Rome. The alliance will lead them away from the Bible, and away from every principle of Sabbath-keeping. In the days of ignorance, men could keep Sunday honestly, believing that they were obeying God, but the light is shining to-day. Those who are found on the side of Sunday when the present conflict shall close, will have committed themselves to the cause of Rome.
