The Sunday Question Discussion
By Ellet Joseph Waggoner
The Herald of Truth, in its comment on the discussion of the Sunday question by the Congregational Club of San Francisco, as noted in last week's SIGNS, said that it showed "large freedom of thought." As we read the proceedings, it rather seemed to us that they were marked by large absence of thought. Here are grave Doctors of Divinity, and professors in Theological Seminaries, men who have grown gray in the ministry, who cannot agree on the reason for a practice which they call "the foundation of our holy religion." Was a more absurd and childish affair ever known? But one thing these men do know, and that is that they want a penal Sunday law; and the more they become convinced of their utter inability to uphold Sunday-keeping by the Bible, the more earnest and united they will be in clamoring for the law.
