The Continental Sunday

By Editor

The Lutheran Observer in a recent article entitled “The Continental Sunday” says:—

“Sunday is the great holiday of the German nation—the day devoted to pleasure and amusement. . . . Nor is Sunday regarded and observed in a different manner by the religious part of the community. Although a small proportion of them attend church in the forenoon, even the pious among them have no thought of it as a sacred day.”

And what is there remarkable about this, we should like to know. Indeed, it seems very strange that anyone should regard Sunday as sacred. Nowadays people generally know that its observance is not enjoined in the Scriptures, and it is little wonder that its false claims to sanctity are so generally disregarded.
