ABOUT the last thing which holds the Jews to the word of God is the Sabbath. Many of them have turned from that in practise, if not in theory. One rabbi is recently quoted as saying that it is more honored in the breach than in the observance, and that a change to Sunday worship would be merely formal. The Puyallup Valley Tribune, of Washington, remarks that “perhaps the only denomination which now adheres strictly to the observance of the Biblical Sabbath is that of the Adventists who make it the fundamental article of their faith.” That is hardly the truth because Seventh-day Baptists adhere to the observance of the Biblical Sabbath; neither do Seventh-day Adventists make it the fundamental article of their faith. The fundamental thing with Seventh-day Adventists is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. That faith involves all the rest. The Tribune is also mistaken when it endeavors to trace the Sabbath origin back to the Oriental mythology, or the worship of the moon under the name of Diana. Astronomical difficulties, it tells us, soon led to the fixation of the Sabbath on every seventh day without much regard to the moon’s phases. Nevertheless it holds that the origin of the holy day originated from the moon’s phases. An utterly inconsistent position, for there is nothing specially definite to mark the moon’s phases, and it may be safely concluded that the primitive nature worshipers in idolatrous or otherwise, can be traced back to the perversion of the original Sabbath law given in the word of God. Let the Jews turn from this, and the last link which binds them to the Old Testament as a revelation from God is gone, and the new drift to infidelity or worse than infidelity, perverted and apostate Christianity, is certain.
