Ungodliness and Sabbath Desecration

By Editor

THE Interior (Presbyterian) of Chicago says:—

“A speaker on Sabbath observance, down east, gave ten causes which go to produce the widespread desecration of the day. In this region of the country, one cause is sufficient to account for all the evil, and that cause is ungodliness. Those who have no love for God, are the very persons who profane the day he wants them to keep holy.”

By Sabbath the Interior means Sunday, but that does not affect the principle, and this paragraph is the whole Sunday question in a nut shell. Really pious people who believe that God requires them to keep any day will keep it, but all others will make it a matter of convenience.
