At the recent National Reform Convention, held in Washington, Iowa, the following complaint was entered:— “President McKinley, while in Chicago recently, had a barber come and shave him on the holy sabbath [Sunday]. When the President does such things, what can we expect of the common people?” At the same time the Lord’s Day Papers, published by the Reform Bureau at Washington, D. C., with which the National Reform Association is closely allied, quotes the President as saying:— “I am in favor of Sunday legislation, and a strict observance of the Christian sabbath.” Questions: (1) Who is to say what the President shall do on Sunday—himself or the National Reformers? (2) If the President may observe Sunday in his own way, why may not other people? (3) If the common people (whose servant the President is) have as much right to exercise their own volition as to what they shall do on Sunday as he has, what good purpose can “Sunday legislation” serve? And if Sunday were really God’s Sabbath, would it need any human legislation anyway?
