Relation of the Sabbath to the Saints' Inheritance.
By O. Davis
WHAT condition of the earth and man does the Sabbath bring to view as a memorial? Is it not the condition of the earth as it came from the hand of the Creator, finished and good, with man in the image of his Maker, having dominion over it? Does it not bring to view the time when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Is it not, then, a remembrance every week of what man once was, of what he possessed, and of what he has lost? As Jesus is coming to restore that which is lost, how important is the position of the Sabbath in the great plan of redemption! How calculated it is to aid in forming a correct faith with reference to the saints' final inheritance! It seems to me that if man had always kept the Sabbath as God gave it to him, he never would have lost sight of the kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world, and never would have soared beyond the bounds of time and space for his final home.
