If Religion Is Life, What Is the "Sabbath"?

Abstract

The question which the title of this article raises is unusual. It opens up a topic about which many feel intensely, but the issue which is here raised is not between the observance of the first and the seventh day, but rather the whole question of the observance of one sacred day in the week. This line of argument ought to appeal especially to men whose views of Sunday observance or Sabbath observance are latitudinarian. Perhaps it will also help those of our readers who are more sensitive to the legalistic elements which have worked their way into our religious life.
