WHAT MEN SAY.

By J. G. Wood

The following is taken from the “History of Denominations in the United States,” “History of the Roman Catholic Church,” by Prof. W. Jos. Waters, of Phil.:—

“The Catholic Church maintains that there are doctrines of essential importance not contained in the Scriptures; as for instance the lawfulness and obligation of keeping holy the Sunday instead of the Saturday, the real scriptural Sabbath. The validity of infant baptism, etc.”

The “Wesleyan Methodist,” by Rev. J. Timberman, pastor of the first true Wesleyan Methodist Church of New York, says on page 394, “Although the law given from God by Moses as touching rites and ceremonies doth not bind Christians . . . notwithstanding no Christian whatsoever is free from the obedience of the ten commandments, which are called the moral law.”

The “Episcopal Methodist,” by the Rev. Nathan Bangs, D. D., of N. Y., on page 569 says, “The law given from God by Moses as touching ceremonies and rites doth not bind Christians . . . yet notwithstanding no Christian whatsoever is free from the obedience of the commandments which are called moral.” J. G. Wood.
