SUNDAY AMUSEMENTS.
Mr. Percy Stevens is mistaken if lie thinks I am seeking controversy on tlie question of wliich day should be observed. There can 'be no controversy on that question, even from his own statement. If the "Sunday school infant" can tell, then most surely those of a more ijjature intellect know that the seventh day is the only day set apart by the Creator. Why, then, does he quote the opinions of statesmen? Their opinions ■will not alter the aibove fact. They cannot alter the Divine law. nor can they override it, except at their own peril. But the object of my letter was to show that it is not within the province of any man or Government to interfere with the religious rites of any person. If people desire to make Sunday their holiday it is their privilege, and in the sight of heaven there is 110 desecration of God's law in doing so. Those who recognise the seventh day (Saturday) as the Sabbath are not transgressing the fourth precept of the Divine law —they are in complete harmony with it—but they do not raise a hue and cry against those wli-o do not see with them in this respect. F. L. SHARP, Secretary, Religious Liberty Association.
