Some Thoughts on the Most Christian Use of the Sunday: A Sermon Preached at the Melodeon, on Sunday, Jan. 30th (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Some Thoughts on the Most Christian Use of the Sunday: A Sermon Preached at the Melodeon, on Sunday, Jan. 30th

Such is the aspect of the two parties in the field, looking opposite ways, but at one another. It seems likely that there will be a quarrel, and, as isusual in such cases, hard words on each side, hard thoughts and unkind feelings on both sides. Be fore the quarrel begins, and our eyes are blinded by the dust of controversy; before our blood is fired, and we become wholly incapable of judgment let us look coolly at the matter, and ask, Do we need any change in respect to the observance of the Sunday? Are the present opinions respecting the Origin, Nature, and original Design of that institution just and true? Is the present mode of observing it the most profitable that can be devised? The inquiry is one of great importance.

To answer these questions it is necessary to go back a little into the history of the Hebrew Sab bath and the Christian Sunday. However, it is not needful to go much into detail, or consume this precious hour in a learned discussion on antiqua rian matters which concern none but scholars.
