THE LORDS DAY.
Its Formal and Legal observance
Dates From 321 A. ID.


To the Editor of the Globe.
Dear Sir: The answer to the question,
When was Sunday first Observed" as given
In late issue Of st. Paul paper, being
from the generally received opinion, reminds
the writer Of some records of history not
very we'll known among people generally.
With the very best of wishes, it is here offered
to the many readers of the D a y G o be-
In speaking of the first day OF the week
Lyman Coleman fAncient Christianity Exem-
Plifed, chap s3 sec. 3, says: During the
early ages of the church 1t (the Sunday
was never entitled the Sabbath this word
being confined to the seventh day Of the week,
the Jewish Sabbath, which, as we have al
ready said. continued to be observed for sew
eral centuries, down even to the NTH cen
fury, by the converts to Christianity.
Rev. Peter Heylyn, member OF the Churcn
of England, who wrote in 1886, says: TAKE
which you will. either the fathers or the
naederns, and we shall find ne Lords day
instituted by any apostolic mandate no Sab
bath set on foot by them upon the first day
of the week."-History of the Sabbath, part 2,
chap. /, sec. 10.
Sir William Denville says: Not any &C.
clesiasticaI writer of the first three centuries
attribute the origin of Sunday observance
either to Christoor to His apostles. Exam
nation of Six Texts, supplement, PIP. 81
The testimony, of Neander, the greatest OF
church historians IS follows: The fes-
tival of Sunday. like all ether festivals, was
always only human ordinance; and 1t was
far from the intention of the apostles to es-
d
far from them and from the early apostolic
church to transfer the laws of the Sabbath to
Sunday. Perhaps at the end Of the second
century false application of this kind had
begun to take place. for men appear By that
time to have considered laboring on Sunday
as a sin.''-Church History, translated by
H. S. Rose, p. 1885, :
The first law on record, either human OF
divine for Sunday as day of rest was given
by Constantine, at that time heather
peror Of Rome, and sunworshipper, which
reads as follows: LET all the judges and
townspeople and the occupation of all trades,
rest ON the venerable day of the sun; but
let those who are situate in the country fully
and freely attend to the business Of agricul-
ture." This was in the year A. D. 81.

pagan times"

allowed for the presentation Of their appli-

lieve them.
He also renews former recommendations
looking to the authorization Of the Of
deposttors before courts martial, as Is
the case In the army, and of legislation to
compel testimony by civilian witnesses before
such courts. 1t Is said that che army prac-
tee of disehargfng from the service before
confinement enlisted men sentenced to dis
honorable discharge and imprisonment would
do much to relieve the rolls from the names
of persons who are now part Of the en-
listed force but contribute nothing to its
efficiency.

By a Falling Roof OF a Virginia
University Building.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Oct. 49,
The fireproof cement roof to one of
the lecture rooms in course of con-
struction adjoining the rotunda. of the
University Of Virginia, fell in at Il
O'Clock today, killing two carpenters,
Eugene Bunch and George Tucker, and
injuring three others. Joseph Lamb
was taken out badly injured, and is
not expected to live. He will probably
die. The accident is supposed to be
due to the fact that the supports were
taken out before the work had become
set, but the matter has not yet been in

To say that murder Is popular Ia the

This ratio Of increase has gone on year

coming really alarming" Alarming"
Is the word. The statistics show that
fifteen years ago less than 900 murders
and justlfable homlcides we're committed
within the limits of the United States
each year. In the year 1885 the number
exceeded the 900 mark for tho frst
iIme, the figures that year being 449
Within the next twelve months the
number almost doubled, the murderers
IN that year cutting off the lives of not
less than 385 Of their fellow creatures.
"Slnce that time and down to the opening
OF the present year" continues the
Republic, "the ratio OF increase has been

OF each year since 1887 are as follows:
