Catholic Testimony on the Sabbath
We have felt sure that the Roman Catholics were taking note of the agitation upon the Sabbath question here in Washington. They know the origin of Sunday-keeping, and do not hesitate to tell the truth about the matter. The following paragraph appeared (January 21) in the Catholic Mirror of Baltimore, credited to the New York Freeman's Journal, also a Catholic paper:— The Seventh-day Adventists of Washington have addressed an open letter to the Protestant clergy, appealing to them to follow the Scripture injunction to keep holy the Sabbath day (Saturday) instead of keeping Sunday. This puts the evangelical folks into an embarrassing position. They must acknowledge that there is no command in the Scriptures to keep the Sunday, while there is a clear, emphatic command to keep Saturday holy, and no Scripture evidence that this command was ever repealed or annulled.
