Broke the Sabbath

By Editor

"Broke the Sabbath."—Speaking of the wonderful aeroplane flying of Glenn Curtiss on Sunday, May 29, from Albany to New York, 137 miles in 152 minutes, the Christian Advocate says: "Curtiss broke the record for the longest American flight, and the international record for sustained speed. He broke the Sabbath, too." That is, his flight took place on Sunday. The divine averment is, "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." Ex. 20:10. We do not know what Mr. Curtiss did on the Sabbath day; but where are we told in holy homily or precept that Sunday is the Sabbath? Certainly Mr. Curtiss did not break the Sabbath on the day he broke the record; for that day was not the Sabbath.
