Christian Statesman on a National Sabbath Reform

The Christian Statesman, of Oct. 24, 1874, closes a quite lengthy article on “Our National Government and the Sabbath,” with these words: “The practical lesson of all this is obvious. A genuine Sabbath reform must go to the national government, and place it, in its fundamental law, and in all its action resting upon that law, in harmony with the divine law of the Lord’s day. The Constitution of the United States must be made to pay a truer and more influential homage to the Sabbath of Christianity than is found in the phrase ‘Sundays excepted’?”
