Présentation de l'éditeur
Tou might as well commit murder as violate the Fourth Commandment Of the two evils, murder is the least. The above words, inspired by the announcement of a lecture that I was to deliver on the Sabbath Question, appeared in the correspondence of the Toronto World of December 13, 1884 Strange as these words sound, they yet voice a sentiment that has existed for ages. Three thousand years ago, for a trifling violation of this law, a man was stoned to death. The one who had been chosen to proclaim the law, and who in this case was its executor, was himself an unpunished murderer. Eighteen hundred years ago a man was crucified in Palestine. One of his crimes was Sabbathbreaking. On the very day that he was executed, those who had been instrumental in having him put to death those who cried, Crucify him! demanded and obtained the release of a murderer. Fifteen hundred years ago the Christian Sabbath was established.
