Samuel P. Putnam, Free Thinker, lee
tured at Pioneer Hall Sunday evening upon
the subject Evils and Tyranny and Dar-
gers of Sunday Legislation" In the course
of his lecture he said
The Sunday and the Sabbath are two
different institutions. The Sunday is
humanitarian, the Sabbath is ecclesiasti-
cal. The Sunday as a festival day, as q
day of recreation, the suns day, existed be-
fore the Church or the Bible, and does not
owe its usefulness to these. The Sunday is
for the benefit of labor, for man and NOT
for deity. 1t is day of Joy, and as such is
accepted into the civilization of the race.
1t is the holiday of the world, for every one
to enjoy so far as is possible with the de-
mands of life and progress. There cannot
be absolute rest for humanity any more
than fer nature
The Sabbath originated with the Church
and is church institution. 1t is for the
benefit of deity and for the benefit OF
clergy. 1t is not a holiday, but holy day;
day OF worship, not day of physical
recreation.
The modern Christian Sabbath did not
originate with the Bible. There is no
command in the Scriptures anywhere to
keep this day holy. The Bible Sabbath is
Saturday, and the command is to keep the
seventh day holy. Christianity has prac-
tieally abolished the Bible Sabbath.
The change from Saturday to Sunday,
the first day, was not authorized by Christ
or by any of the Apostles. 1t was not
originally day of worship but day of
rejoicing. There is no record that it was
regarded as a specially sacred day by the
early Christians. This modern Sabbath
nrJpirafad xrirh A
He, by edicr, eonsecra,ed it as a sacred
day-a day of worship. All the laws upon
our statute books to-day are mere repeti-
tions of the law of Constantine, and so far
as We are constrained to obey them, we are
Roman subjects and not American citi-
zens
There should be no laws for the observ-
ance of Sunday as a Sabbath. This does
not prevent the Christian from having
their holy day and being as devout as they
please. But the rights of the Freethinker
are as sacred as the rights of the Christian,
and il the Christian has the right to his re-
ligious services the Freethinker has the
same right TO his enjoyment on the Sun
day. II the Christian has right to go to
church. the Liberal has the same right to
go into the fields and woods. The Free
thinker has the same right to picnic OH
Sunday as the Christian to a prayer meet.
ing. The Christian has no right to compel
a whole community to be pious, any more
than The Freethinker has right to compel
the Christian TO attend the theater or opera
The Sunday should be free day, for each
citizen to use according to his own judg
ment. To enforce particular kind of OBJ
servance is tyranny; to forbid work OF
play is as much tyranny as to forbid
worship would be tyranny.
