IN his last lecture Joseph Cook said: “It is not true that a Monday journal requires a large amount of work on Sunday. There is very little work on a Monday journal of average size that cannot be done after sunset on Sunday, especially in the winter nights. Practical journalists know very well that by a brisk use of the hours from sunset Sunday to sunrise Monday, a journal can be issued on Monday morning.” But would not this be quite a break into the Sunday? Or does Mr. Cook think that it is no sin to work on Sunday provided one works in the dark? It should be well understood by all that Sunday begins at midnight and ends at midnight. Not so the first day of the week. That begins at sunset and ends at sunset; because the Sabbath, which immediately precedes the first day of the week, begins at sunset and ends with the sunset following. If Mr. Cook is going to throw Romanism overboard to the extent of adopting the Bible computation of time, he ought, in all consistency, to let go the pope’s Sabbath and adopt the Sabbath of the Bible.
