Sunday Legislation

It is not a question of the right or wrong of the observance of a sabbath,—any sabbath day,—that is to be considered in Sunday legislation; but what right has any civil government to enforce a day of religious observance upon any person? The only original Sabbath law is a Bible law. The Sabbath is to be kept holy unto the Lord. But no civil law can compel a holy observance of the day or an acceptable observance of the day to God. This must be the free-will act of the observer. To compel this is to foster hypocrisy.
