"Our observance of Sunday as the Lord's Day is apparently derived from Mithraism. The argument that has sometimes been used against this claim, namely, that Sunday was chosen because of the resurrection on that day, is not well supported." Gordon J. Laing, Survivals of Roman Religion, p. 148.

Relics of Popery: A Campbell ("Baptism," p.15), speaking of the Protestant sects, says:"All of them retain in their bosom" in their ecclesiastical organizations, worship, doctrines, and observances ”various relics if popery. They are at best a reformation of popery, and only reformations in part. The doctrines and traditions of men yet impair the power and progress of the gospel their hands.

"Day of the Lord" "But the undoubted fact of this [Sunday] observance by no means involves the inference often drawn from it, that the keeping of the [Sunday] Lord's day must be traced to an apostolic decree, transferring to it, directly or by implication, the sanctity of the Sabbath, which was familiar to the early Christians, as being themselves Jews, or having been converted under Jewish influence. It is almost needless to say that of such a decree we have no evidence whatever, either in Holy Scripture or in church history." "Alfred Barry (Anglican), Art. "Lord's Day" in "Dictionary of the Christian Antiquities" (edited by William Smith and Samuel Cheetham), Vol. 2, p. 1043, col. 1. (John Murray, London: 1880)

H. G. Wells, in his Outline of History: "During this indefinite time a consideralle amount of a sort of theocrasia seems to have gone on between the Christian cult and the almost equally popular and widely diffused Mithraic cult, and the cult of Serapis-Isis-Horus. From the former it would seem the Christians adopted Sun-day as their chief day of worship instead of the Jewish Sabbath." “ The Outline of History, New and Revised, by H. G. Wells. P. 543, P.431.
