The First-day Sabbath.

By WILLIAM McCLATCHEY

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ADVENT REVIEW AND SABBATH HERALD: Sir—In your issue of the 23d of August last, there appeared an article by Elder Preble, stating that there was no Scripture proof that the first day of the week should be kept as the Sabbath day. Your correspondent would beg space to submit the following quotations from the Holy Scriptures, which would seem to prove to the contrary. You will please examine the following: Lev. 23:11, 15, 21; Matt. 28:7, 9, 16, 17; Luke 24:1, 6, 13, 33, 34, 35, 36; John 20:19, 26; Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:1, 2; Col. 2:16, 17; Mark 2:27, 28; Rev. 1:10. Please give it a place in your paper and oblige. WILLIAM McCLATCHEY.
