The Contradiction of a National Sunday Law

The Christian Statesman is correct in its statement that "what our judges and legislators need most of all to learn is that when a law of the general government comes into collision with the law of God, the former must give way." We like to agree with people and journals when it is possible to do so, and we heartily concur in that sentiment. But it is an expression that gives away the whole argument for a national Sunday law, so persistently urged by the Statesman; for such a law is in direct "collision with the law of God," which says that "the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God."
