To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Justin Martyr, as quoted by Calmet, observes, " That on the Lord's day, all Christians in the city or country meet together, because that is the day of our Lord's resurrection ; and then we read the writings of the apostles and prophets. This being done, the President makes an oration to the assembly, to exhort them to imitate and to practise the things they have heard ; then we all join in prayer, and after that we celebrate the sacrament. Then tliey who are able and wiUing give what they thin...k pro- per, and what is collected is laid up in the hands of the Presi- dent, who distributes it to orphans and widows, and other ne- cessitous Christians, as their wants require. " GuRNEY quotes him still further, and says, Justin Martyr " con^ eludes by explaining why this day of the week was chosen for their public worship, " viz : " We all meet together on the Sunday, because it is the first day, on which God turned the darkness [into light], gave shape to the chaos, and made the world ; and on the same day Jesus Christ our Savior rose from the dead.
