By Uriah Smith

In the article on the Morality of the Sabbath, in this number, the reader will notice that the terms Sabbath and Sunday are used interchangeably. So far as the physical benefits of the Sabbath, considered simply as a day of rest, are concerned, they are secured by resting on Sunday as well as upon the Sabbath. And this being the point under discussion in the present paper, testimony is used from men who have written from the Sunday standpoint, which is equally true when applied to the true Sabbath.

Were this the only light in which the Sabbath is presented in the Scriptures, we should not contend a moment for the day. But there are higher considerations involving the sanctification of the day, the precept and authority of God in its appointment, and its being a memorial of the Creator; all these are inseparably and unmistakably connected with the seventh day—the rest of Jehovah.
