To the Editor Of the TRANSCRIPT.
l notice in your issue Of November 10 a
Preamble and series Of resolutions adopted
by "the Sunday School of the Methodist
church" in this city complaining of the 'party
or parties in charge OF the public school now
building for working ''upou the aforesaid
building on the Sabbath day." claiming such
work to be in 'disreeard of law, both statu-
tory and moral" land an open assault upon
the American Sabbath" These statements
as a citizen, and one of your subscribers, l
would like to ask through your columns.
lst.--What kind of an institution is the
''American Sabbath" Who made it2 When,
how and for whom was it made? Protestants
boast that the Bible and the Bible alone is
their rule Of faith and practice, but 1 find
nothing said in that blessed book about the
American Sabbath. read there about 'the
Sabbath of the Lord thy Cod" and it plainly
states who made 1t and when it was made,
and how and for whom. but find no mention
made of the ''American Sabbath" Was it an
omission on the part of the author of the
sacred book? Or is this latter a more re-
cent institution. wholly outside of and un-
authorized by divine appointment? And If
so. l ask, of what binding authority is it upon
the consciences of men, Protestents at least?
at is charged that the work was done "in
disregard of law, both statutory and moral"
Here arises the question: What moral law
was disregarded in working on the "Amcri-
can Sabbath" What is a moral law? DR..
Webster thus defines 1t: ''Morai law; the law
of God" The word moral has reference to
the law of God, as the standard by which
their character is to be determined (Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary. Again I ask. Has
God given any law for ''the American Sab
bath? If so, when and where is it recorded?
Who will give light on these important
questions, for the benefit of your readers,
and especially of SUBSCRIBER?
