First-Day Keepers and the Seventh Day
Eld. J. Litch is getting his first-day-keeping friends into trouble. By an array of words which he would probably dignify with the name of argument, he comes to the following conclusion: “It will be seen by this, that Christians keep as much of the seventh day as Sabbatarians.” Now as they believe that they should not keep any part of the seventh day, but that to do so, is to fall from grace, what shall we say of their present position? Are they not at least half fallen from grace? Let them immediately correct their reckoning, so as to get entirely clear of the seventh day, that they, in accordance with the laudable desire expressed by some of the earliest opponents of the Sabbath, may “have nothing in common with that odious brood” who keep it. For according to his distinctive titles, “Sabbatarians” cannot, of course, be “Christians.”
