In their letter of 24 August 1841 to the community elders, these proto-reformers wrote as follows: ‘It is not the intention of the body of which we form part to recognize as sacred days those which are evidently not ordained as such in Scripture; and they consequently appointed the service for holy convocations to be read on those days only thus designated.’ Liberles (see note 7), p. 141. See also David Philipson; Meyer (see note 7), p. 175; Kershen and Romain (see note 7), p. 16. Leigh (see note 7), p. 24, incorrectly asserts that the abolition of the second days was never actually carried out.
