Ten Reasons

By A. L. MANOUS

A Contrast

A. L. MANOUS
Five inspired reasons for keeping the seventh day of the week:—
1. “On the seventh day God ended his work which he had made.”
2. “And he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.”
3. “And God blessed the seventh day.”
4. “And sanctified it.”
5. “And hallowed it.” He thus made it “honorable,” “because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Gen. 2:2, 3; Ex. 20:8-11; Isa. 58:13, 14.
Five man-made reasons for keeping the first day of the week:—
“1. Christ rose from the dead on this day.
“2. He appeared twice in succession on this day.
“3. He gave special evidence of his resurrection on this day.
“4. He gave earnest of the Spirit on this day.
“5. He sent the full effusion of the Holy Ghost to his church [on this day].” — Rev. Prof. Henry Lummis, in “Sabbath Essays,” Boston, 1872, page 148.
