Dear Mr. Editor;
• I beg to differ with the opinions
expressed.in the April ,8, COM-:.,
MUNITY FORUM column on the
.Use o.f'Sunday,
In connect -16n with the legillia -
tion of Sunday 'sports it is argued
that. th'e fourth, com mandment ; •
"Remember the sabbath day., .to :•
'keep :it holy" , cannot be -used to
oppose' such legalization. "Christ•'
ians no longer observe the
"observe Sunday., t•he, first day of
'the week , in remembrance of the.
resurrection of Jesus,. WYa. t this
argument really,comes.down.to 'is
that the=feurr
we,find it in. the Deca1ogue•,' is;no
. 1. nge"r in 'force today. The fourth
' comrnandment•, with its require-
ment to keep the sabbath day ::
holy.,' belonged to the ,Old .Testa
ment and: no longer applies to us
Vin the New testament.
'Now it is true that the 'Mosaic •

just•as'binding now as it ever was,
The fourth'commandment is an
integral part of Gods Moral Law
for all men through all ages, •
which we have no right to set
asideand disregard anymore
than the others . '.It should also be

are not to rind

Observe ' the'Sabbath = , though
we Pali do. what. ever we lease
o a this. day..; and the li ' This is
certainly not the inter } of this
:saying of Christ_.,:What he was
doing' was attacking .the ; legalistic,
burdensome. distortion of the Sab
'bath by the Pharisees and scribes,.:
who accused his disciples of vio-.
lati-ng-theSabbath'by plucking.
and eatinga. few ears ,of grain as
they were -walking along. The
fourth corrimandment .indeed still
stands in 1970, whether;weare
willing or not willing to.accept:it,
We Must observe the Sabbath as :
Chris ,himself did .perfectly,
throughout,his life' on.`earth, A:nd, •
only if we do observe the Sabbath:
rightly will itbe a source• of
blessing t,o us` physically and
ir.itua _as:God...desi_ned it: to
be in the beginning.
I like sports and feel that they
have a: legi.tinrate:.place in! our .
lives. But I. am opposed .to
.the legalization of Sunday sports,.
Organized Sunday sports; are,I
believe., .incompatibl:e with the
fourtti commandment and tend to
at the same tiitie", they tend to'
have a destructive effect on the'
shtrrchandL.with respect tQthe���
Christian religion. The .Obser-
vance of Sunday or the. Cheistia.n
Sabbath and the welfare of the
church and the' Christian religion.
are very closely related. , This is
clea'rly'reco.gnized by the oppo'n-
ents of the.church Llnd the .Christ-
,
ian religion. Voltair,, for
'thstance ,'' salts , ". 'here.:ts..n . hope,"n,;

.fact that the Sabbath is to be ob-

in the church and the Christian
religion should do all we can to
promote and to safeguard the
observance of Sunday as a `day of
