Facts of Scripture About the Sabbath
We have received from Bro. J. Croffut of Brooklyn, N. Y., a tract of 16 pp., on the Sabbath question entitled, “Facts of Scripture about the Sabbath.” It is a brief but interesting defense of the true Sabbath. It notices as lengthily as could be expected in a work of that size, the institution of the Sabbath at creation, the seventh part of time theory, the Sabbath in the wilderness, the doctrine of memorials, the teachings of Christ in reference to this institution, and the example and records of the New-Testament writers concerning it. On one point we think Bro. C. is clearly wrong, and that is, in calling the Lord’s day mentioned by John in Rev. i, 10, the future “day of the Lord;” for John had his vision on the day that he speaks of, not CONCERNING it. See this point fully discussed in History of the Sabbath, pp. 187-192. Otherwise we consider the argument sound, and trust the little book will be the means of doing good. Price 15 cents.
