IN THE REAR.

By Uriah Smith

The Christian Standard of Cincinnati, O., has not yet got beyond Justin Edward's Sabbath Manual on the Sabbath question. In a late issue, in answer to a correspondent who asks for historical facts in reference to the change of the Sabbath to Sunday, it rehashes all the old historical frauds concerning the testimony of Ignatius, Theophilus, Irenæus, Dionysius, Clement, Tertullian, Justin Martyr, Eusebius and Theodoret, and then advises the reader to get “The Sabbath Manual” published by the American Tract Society, for a summary of the leading testimonies of the early centuries on this subject.
In reply we have only to refer the reader to Bro. Andrews' Complete History of the Sabbath, in which all these testimonies are thoroughly examined, disproved, exposed, exploded, overthrown, torn down, demolished, wiped out, like the chaff of a summer threshing-floor blown away, and then buried beyond the possibility of a resurrection. Get the Sabbath History. Keep the agitation agoing. Let the light shine. The fog is very dense, and the minds of many on this question are very obtuse; but the fire and the hammer of truth, perseveringly applied, will light up dark places and break into hard ones. U. S.
