The Jewish Work and the Sabbath

How well adapted the third angel’s message is to interest the Jews in Christianity, is shown by questions and answers like the following taken from a report of the progress of the Jewish work at the mission recently opened in Boston:—
Among the first questions asked by them are these: “Well, if you believe the Bible, and that Jesus Christ taught God’s words, then why do you not keep the Sabbath, and why do you eat swine’s flesh?” If the subject were not so serious, it would be almost amusing to see how nonplused they look, how it seems almost to take their breath away, as it were, when told that we do keep the Sabbath, and that we do not eat pork; and often there seems to be “no spirit left in them.”
A Sunday-observing, pork-eating evangelist would be unable to answer these questions, and so would find his progress barred at the very outset. God has a message for the world to-day that will take the props from under every false system of whatever kind in which men trust.
