Sunday Observance and Human Law
The French Government has recently held a congress, one of the prominent objects of which has been to consider the observance of Sunday in its relation to the social welfare of the people. M. Leon Say, a prominent man and probable future president of the Chamber of Deputies, presided. Delegates were present from other governments. Gladstone and our own President Harrison wrote letters, the latter of whom “took strong grounds in favor of observing the day as one of sacred rest.” So says the Advance. All these are indications of the near fulfillment of the predictions of the word of God. Great is Sunday, and, sad to say, great is human law, and little is divine law, in the eyes of the multitude of them who profess to be followers of Him who said, “My kingdom is not of this world.”
