Not “Thy” but “Our”

By Editor

Not “Thy” but “Our.”—If the American Episcopal Church should adopt the plea of Bishop Williams to revise the Decalogue, and especially the fourth commandment so as to take the fact of God's creatorship out of it (see article page 10), and if both Church and State interpret the Sabbath day, as they have done, to apply to the first day of the week, we may expect, as suggested by a friend, to hear this in the church service: Reader: “Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day.”

Response by the congregation: “O Lord our God, have mercy upon us, and incline our heart to keep our law.”

It certainly will not be God's law.
