CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

By Editor

In an article on the Sabbath, we find the following:—

"We never could see any reason in a requirement that is physically impossible. If God required the same time to be kept as the day of worship and rest, then we should have great, central astronomical observatories, where calculations could be made, and telegraphic communication maintained with all the world. As you go east, west, north or south the days vary, until one would be utterly lost if he had to obey a rigid law of the Sabbath."

It makes a wonderful difference how one looks at anything. We never could see how there could be any physical impossibility in any of God's requirements. The fact that God has given such a commandment, is sufficient warrant for the possibility of its performance. Let our friend read Exodus 16, and Numbers 15. If such rigid observance of a definite Sabbath were possible for forty years, why not always?
