THE great religious question of the day, possessing not only a national but international interest, is the Sabbath question. It is not only of interest in religious circles, but in the councils of legislators and the halls of governments. Sabbath legislation is being demanded and opposed everywhere. But the keen observer will notice that those who are asking state aid for a religious institution are invariably those who rally around the standard of the Sunday, while those who are opposed to all state interference in religious dogmas are those who hold to the Sabbath, of which the foundation was laid by the Creator of the heavens and the earth, the divine Son of God. Why is this?—Simply that the latter is supported by God’s eternal Word, and its adherents believe that He is better able to care for His own than any set of men can be; and that Sunday has no support as a holy day in the Word of God, hence no basis of faith or of confidence in the power of God to support it. Hence the seeking of aid from worldly power. But that system which substitutes the power or works of man for the power and righteousness of God, is “the mystery of iniquity.” In its manifestation in these last days the center and rallying point will be the Sunday, the pseudo sabbath, enforced by law. On the other hand will be the manifestation, the preaching, of the righteousness of Christ, “the mystery of God,” by power of the Spirit of God; and the center and rallying point of this will be the Sabbath of the Lord, at once a memorial of Christ’s power in creation and re-creation, and a sign of the redemption which is in Him. Reader, in which party do you, will you, stand?
