At first the demarcation of such a definite dead-line for weekly sin appears to be wholly illogical, but after a lengthy microscopic examination, there becomes faintly apparent the only possible loop-hole to plausibility. The authors of this legislative marvel may perhaps have the ancient Hebraic conception of a personal deity with all the very human characteristics of the Olympian gods, who, after the activities of Saturday night, is scarcely interested in what happens on Sunday before noon...
