_When and where does Sunday begin or end?_ (Vol. ix., p. 198.).--The

Christian festival, commonly called Sunday, named by the ancient church

"The Lord's Day," because that thereon the resurrection was accomplished,

and the new creation, the work of Messias, commenced, this feast, I say,

begins at six o'clock in the evening of Saturday, the last day of the week,

at the close of that Hebrew fast; and the end of Sunday arrives at six

o'clock in the evening of that first day of the week. When time was

measured out, the count began with "the evening," which was created first;

and which, with the succeeding morning, reckoned as the first day.
