Dr. Talmage on Sunday and Sabbath
IN a recent discourse Dr. Talmage said:— "Do you think that the God who allowed the disciples on Sunday morning to go into the grain field, and then take the grain and rub it in their hands and eat—do you think God will let you starve?" That is a specimen of the deceitful handling of the word of God, which confirms people in the mistaken idea that Sunday and Sabbath are synonymous terms. Everybody knows that if the act referred to had been done on Sunday the Pharisees would not have accused the disciples of breaking the Sabbath. No one, not even Dr. Talmage, believes that the day referred to was any other than the seventh day of the week. There is no excuse for such perversions of the word of God.
