Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Swift Decadence of Sunday: What Next? The first edition of this book appeared about the first of June, 1899. The reception given to it is abundant reason for the second edition. The testimony given in the following pages has compelled the attention of thoughtful men, in spite of popular indifference. The character of the witnesses places the facts beyond question. The testimony shows that decadence of regard for Sunday is universal, and that it is specially marked in the home of Puritanic Protestantism, and among Protestants generally. This testimony, from the leaders in religious circles, rather than from secular sources, makes it doubly valuable. All too slowly, but yet surely, men begin to see that this decadence is neither temporary nor superficial. It marks the decay of foundations and of fundamental truth. It is much more than the decay of local or denominational peculiarities. It is the definite decay of a fundamental doctrine of Protestantism and of pre-Catholic Christianity. It assails the integrity of the Ten Commandments, and their perpetuity. It threatens the continuance of public worship, and of religious culture. Involving these, it attacks the foundations on which social progress and permanent national life rest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
