The Bible and Sunday Observance

IN Our Sunday Visitor (Catholic) for March 26, 1916, there is given by the editor an imaginary conversation between a Catholic and a Protestant on the question of the Bible's being the sole rule of faith. The Catholic inquires, “Is the Bible the rule or guide of Protestants for observing Sunday?” To this the Protestant is made to answer, “No, I believe the Seventh-day Adventists are the only ones who follow the Bible in the matter of Sabbath observance.” If this answer included our Seventh-day Baptist brethren, it would be correct. Those who observe the first day as the Sabbath do not follow the Bible; they follow only the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. The same argument which leads Protestants to observe Sunday as the Sabbath, would lead them to observe every other holy day commanded by the Catholic Church.
