Why Not?—A contributor to a religious contemporary says:—
We never ask whether murder, or lying, or stealing, or adultery, or any other high crime is right. We never ask whether love, mercy, kindness, chastity, honesty, truthfulness or any other attribute that is commanded by both God and man are wrong. Let us content ourselves by doing what the Lord commands, and not be partakers of the sins of others. That is a fine statement, but, to be logical and consistent, the author ought to observe the Sabbath day according to the commandment. "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work," is just as explicit as the command against murder or any other "high crime" mentioned above. Then why not, with reference to the Creator's memorial, "content ourselves by doing what the Lord commands, and not be partakers of the sins of others?"
