Candid Admission.

The Christian Work and Evangelist (Independent Presbyterian) of August 16 has the following editorial note:—

The Rev. Joseph D. Smith, writing in the Presbyterian Journal, says that “God modified the law of the Sabbath, changing it from the seventh to the first day of the week.” It would be a better expression to say: No authority can be cited in the New Testament for the specific change from Saturday to Sunday, which was effected by the Apostolic Church in the first century.

The last statement is on purely Roman Catholic ground—tradition. There is absolutely no evidence in “the Bible and the Bible alone,” and the simple fact is that the apostles never had aught to do with such change.
