Lord’s Day Congress

By Editor

THE Lord’s Day Congress, brief mention of which was made in these columns a few weeks ago, is convening in Oakland, July 27 to August 1. It is advertised that Vice President Marshall and the governors of half a dozen states, together with prominent men from all parts of the world, will be in attendance. One of the announcements says:

“Sunday excursions and theatrical performances, commercialized Sunday amusements, saloons, business, and ‘general apathy’ are classed as the ‘foes of Sunday rest laws,’ and they are some of the subjects which are expected to develop vigorous arguments.”

The readers of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES are well aware of the prophecy in the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of Revelation which will be fulfilled at no distant time by the enforced observance of Sunday through laws that will be enacted by the various states and nations of the world.

Sunday has no foundation whatever in the Scriptures, and it is very strange that religious teachers who claim to follow the precepts of the Bible should insist on enacting human laws to set a human institution in the place of the divinely appointed Sabbath.

This question will soon be the greatest storm center of the ages. This is said not as a human speculation. The authority presented is the voice of the divine prophets of old.

This paper will be well represented at the convention, and we will expect to have some interesting things to present to our readers in later issues.
