"The California Sabbath."
By Editor
THIS is the title given to Sunday by a man who very inappropriately puts "Rev." before his name. One of his statements is the following:— "Adam was created, was evoluted on Saturday in the afternoon. The first day he ever saw was Sunday, the first Sunday of the world." We are firmly convinced that whatever other qualification is needed to bear the title of "Rev." in California, the possession of a conscience is not one. A man who will so willfully pervert the truth of the Bible deserves only the scorn of men. Again he says:— "No citizen has a right to exercise a conscience that is at war with the civil institutions under which he lives." The "three Hebrew children," and Daniel were all offenders against right. The apostles well deserved the punishment they received, and the martyrs were verily guilty, for in obedience to a perverted conscience they stood up against the civil laws under which they lived! If the inquisition is ever erected in California we recommend "Rev. A. J. Nelson" as Inquisitor-General.
