Is It in the New Version?
By Editor
A WRITER in the World's Crisis is trying to prove that Sabbatarians break the Sabbath law. Among other things he says:— "The law requires them not to travel more than a Sabbath day's journey,—a trifle over one English mile. How can those attend church on that day who live at a greater distance?" We are always pleased to get help to understand the obligations of the law. In this case we are entirely dependent on the writer in the Crisis; we confess to our own incompetency to learn our duty from the Bible—if his statement is correct! We hope he will not desert us in our dilemma, but answer the following queries:— Where, in the Sabbath law, can we learn that we must not go more than a Sabbath day's journey, even going to church? Please give the chapter and verse. And in what text may we learn the distance of a Sabbath day's journey? "To the law, and to the testimony."
