The First Day of the Week

"The First Day of the Week" is the Bible name of that portion of time which begins at sunset Saturday night, and ends at sunset Sunday night. The Bible First Day and the secular Sunday are not, therefore, identical. If the Bible First Day be sacred, it should be observed from sunset to sunset. If any part of the day be sacred, all is. What right have Sunday-keepers to demand that men should keep three-fourths of the day, while they desecrate one-fourth of the same day? What right have they to say that God is particular over the observance of one portion of the day, but not another?
