Excerpt from Our English Sunday What would happen to the soul of England if Sunday should become as other days Not that the other days are evil. They shine with innumerable good deeds and illus trate on every hand the virtues of religion. But, after all, they are working-days, and they exhaust Spiritual as well as intellectual and physical resources. Sunday is necessary as a day of bodily rest and Spiritual recon struction. The following pages set forth the situation exactly and without bigotry. The brief historical survey of the place of Sunday in the life of men; the statement of modern possibilities and perils above all, the shining Significance of our Lord's example, are treated with scholarliness, thoroughness, comprehensiveness, and goodwill. The appeal of these pages is national. It is not an alarmist plea for churches and Sunday Schools and other forms of organized religion. These great institutions are but means to an end. But the means must be employed or the end will be lost. Not the least value of the book is that both means and end are steadily kept in View from first to last. The writers know what is happening.
