The Sonday Innovation

By Editor

WE notice that in the Sunday Reform Leaflets, Rev. Edward Thomson, the editor, formerly of the Pacific Coast, now of Columbus, Ohio, has changed the spelling under which he first issued his sheet. He formerly spelled Sunday "Sonday." He has gone back to the usual spelling; however, in a footnote he says, "We also suggest Sonday as an appropriate innovation, indicating the day of the Son of God." This is very similar to the other innovations which apostasy has brought in. All of them were considered appropriate when introduced, and all of them were as inappropriate and foreign to the purpose as is this by Dr. Thomson. Sunday is no more the day of the Son of God than is Friday or Monday. Its proper name is Sun-day, the day dedicated to the sun, and those who honor the day in the light of the truth of the Bible concerning it, do honor, not to the Son of God, but that power which has exalted itself above all that is called God or that is worshiped. The whole Sunday system, from the first observance of the day as a religious institution to the present Sunday laws, is all an innovation. The last appropriate innovation will be putting to death those who dare to disregard the pseudo-Sabbath and who observe the Sabbath of the Lord. See Rev. 13: 13-17.
