The Reasons for Sunday Observance

Every now and then some new hand tries to explain the reasons for Sunday observance; and after each new book is written, it is discovered that still the ten commandments declare that “the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord,” and then a new hand must needs take up the pen to explain that the first day is the day to be kept. Noticing one such effort, the Record of Christian Work, organ of the Northfield (Mass.) Conferences and Summer Schools, says that it is a reply to Seventh-day Adventists, adding these words regarding our growth and work: “Their reports show a growth from 3,500 members in 1863 to 114,206 in 1912. This increase and their formidable opposition to Sunday legislation make it important that the Christian church cease to ignore them.” We should be glad indeed to have the Record give its readers and patrons the Bible authority for Sunday observance.
