A Lord’s Day Convention
By Editor
THE following item from the Oakland Tribune of October 22, shows that the friends of Sunday legislation in this State are neither dead nor sleeping:— "What might appropriately be called a Lord's Day Convention was held in San Francisco yesterday, to see what could be done toward organizing a movement for the observance of the Lord's day. Dr. R. H. McDonald, of San Francisco, C. C. Clay and William Cubery, of Oakland, were appointed a committee to endeavor to raise $25,000 as a campaign fund. About $1,300 has already been raised." The field secretary of the so-called American Sabbath Union is included in this plan as it is stated that Rev. Dr. Robert Mackenzie is at present in the East endeavoring to secure the services of Dr. Crafts for the coming season. Let no unsophisticated student of the Bible suppose that by Lord's day in this item is meant the Lord's day of the Scriptures; Sunday is the day intended, and it is the Lord's day solely and only because the Catholic Church set it apart and gave it to the Lord in exchange for the real Lord's day, "the Sabbath of the Lord," the day of which the Son of man himself declared that he is Lord.
