Is It More?

The Christian Work of March 7, in speaking of Rabbi Hirsch, who “would be willing to accept Sunday in place of the Jewish Sabbath if thereby a better attendance at the synagogue services could be secured,” remarks: “That is, the observance is more than the day. A right view.” Let us not hear the Christian Work pleading for Sunday sacredness then; for the principle is as good concerning some other day as Sunday. But how could Rabbi Hirsch, or the editor of Christian Work, keep holy a day which God has not made holy? God’s command is not as to a proportion of time, but as to a particular day.
