Quotations from our authors:
"If one contemplates the pressure that our economic and industrial institutions are exerting to obtain maximum utilization of industrial plants - by programming work shifts to ignore any festivity -, it is easy to comprehend how the pattern transmitted to us of the seven day week, with its recurring day of rest and worship, could undergo radical changes." - Pg 9-10, - economic pressures
"The Synoptics (Matt. 12:8; Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5), however, contain a similar locution, namely 'Lord of the Sabbath', a phrase used by Christ at the end of a dispute with the Pharisees over the question of legitimate Sabbath activities." - Pg. 17 - Lord's day, not included in the Gospels
N.J. White claimed "an unbroken and unquestioned Church usage" of the phrase "Lord's day" to refer to Sunday since the earliest apostolic times. - N. J. White
