What I am concerned about is Christ's thought of this day.

If I understand his spirit right I believe he would say what I have said.

He would say that it is not a right use of this day for the men and women of this generation to buy and sell merchandise, to attend or countenance places or spectacles of amusement, to engage in card parties at their homes, to fill their thoughts full of the ordinary affairs of business or the events of the world.

He would say that it was the Christian's duty and privilege in this age to elevate the uses of this day so that everything done and said should tend to lift the race higher, and make it better acquainted with the nature of God and its own eternal destiny.

If Christ would not take that view of this great question, then I have totally misconceived and misunderstood his character.
