Sunday's Pagan-Papal Alliance

Sunday seems to have been as puissant in making friends in England as was opposition to our Lord in Judea. In the recent movement against the Sunday newspaper, John Burns, an agnostic; Cardinal Vaughan, a Roman Catholic; Rabbi Adler, a Jew; Mr. Hugh Price Hughes, a Methodist; and the Bishop of London have, together with the influence of certain large advertisers, prevented the publication of Sunday newspapers. Now concerning Sunday newspapers we care nothing. It were better were none ever issued; but we note the above to show the present-day pagan-papal banner round which the hosts are gathering; for Sunday as a holiday is wholly pagan in origin; as a "holy" day it is wholly papal in origin; in both phases it is a rival of the Sabbath of the Lord.
