should be made on Sunday If good luck
and good health are to be Its inheri-
lance. This Is such an obvious sur
yival Of the custom, prehistoric in
point of age, of dedicating the child
to the n-god that 1t needs little
comment, though those who most firm
ly believe in the superstition would be
horrified to be told that they were in
practicing it perpetuating an ancient
heather custom-worshipin at the
shrine of Osiris, or of some other of
the presentations of the sun as
deity.
The designation of the first day of
the week as the suns day" far ante
dates Christianity and prevails in
lands never Christianized. where 1t has
existed from remote antiquity. BY
some an astronomical reason Is con-
sidered to be the cause Of the dedica-
tion of the first day Of the week to
the sun. But whatever the origin Of
the nomenclature Sunday" it is the
day which, from time immemorial, has
been especially set apart for dediea-
ton to the sun-god. Therefore the
baby of the Twentieth century A. D.,
like the baby of the Twentieth cen
fury b. c., is first taken into the sun
light on Sunday.
