BE NOT DECEIVED.

By R. P. C.

God rested upon the seventh day. This made it his Sabbath. He then appointed each seventh day to come to a sacred rest; thus “the Sabbath was made for man.” He has never revoked that appointment. Yet people say they think it better to keep the day of the resurrection of Christ. The Scriptures give us baptism as an emblem and memorial of the resurrection. Who gave men the right to add to this, and, to do so, to take away from the law of God the day which he appointed? They may think it a very pious act; but God may think otherwise; it may be found at the last day to have been a very impious act. Is it not best to reconsider before it is too late?
