AMONG the reasons now being urged in behalf of Sunday legislation is the following, by Rev. S. V. Leech, D.D.: Give us good Sunday laws, well enforced by men in local authority, and our churches will be full of worshipers, and our young men and women will be attracted to the divine service. A mighty combination of the churches of the United States could win from Congress, the state Legislatures, and municipal councils, all legislation essential to this splendid result. This idea of attracting young men and women to the churches is a tacit acknowledgment that the churches have lost their power to attract through the Gospel. Jesus says, "I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me." Has Christ, or His Gospel, lost the drawing power? or is the weakness not rather in the professed representatives of the Gospel? The turning from the power of Christ through His Word and Spirit, and resorting to compulsory human law for attraction to the churches, indicates that the Gospel is so weakened by perversion, and by a loss of confidence on the part of its nominal adherents, that it can not longer work through the medium of the professed ministry of the Gospel. As Paul says of the law, the Gospel has become "weak through the flesh;" and the only effectual remedy must come through a return to "the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus," rather than to the power of human law. To attract "young men and women" to church by a compulsory Sunday law is a new exposition of the law of attraction. Christ did not use any compulsory law to draw men to Him. John 12:47, 48. Attracting people to church by a Sunday law can only produce hypocrites, through a perversion of true Gospel principle. The Gospel is an invitation (Matt. 11: 28-30; Rev. 22:16, 17) from the merciful Saviour, and not the mandate of a presumptive human government (Matt. 22:21; Acts 5:17-32).
