HOW CAN IT BE DONE?

By Editor

In our Outlook Department will be found an article on Sunday closing in England. Rev. F. B. Meyer suggests the term "Rest-day," instead of "Sabbath," "Lord's Day," or "Sunday," so as to lay "less stress on the religious, than on the ethical, physical, and moral aspect of the question." Our correspondent suggests that it is not by doing this "that the difficulty can be removed, but by ceasing to have any religious aspect to the question." But this is as impossible as to separate heat from fire and cold from snow. The Sabbath or the Sunday question is religious, call it by what name we will, or legislate how we will. If separated from religion, there will be no demand for such a law.
