The Sunday Sabbath Is All of Rome

The Northern Christian Advocate, in speaking of the Anglican clergy and their position on an open Fair on Sunday, says:—
These same Anglican clergy in Argentina have been exhibiting great interest in, and predicting, a “Sunday Fair” at Chicago, while the bishop of the Falkland Islands has declared the fourth commandment abrogated! This is all of a piece with the action of the Romanist clergy in Mexico in expurgating the second commandment because it strikes at image worship in that church! Why not vote the whole ten commandments en bloc obsolete?
“The fourth commandment abrogated!” But what else do those teachers teach who claim that the fourth commandment enjoins a day which it does not even so much as name, and for a reason not even so much as intimated? The fact is that the whole Sunday question is on a piece with all of Rome's dealings; and why not? The Sunday sabbath is all of Rome.
