Playing Blind Man’s Buff.
By Uriah Smith
THIS is what the opponents of the Sabbath seem just now to be doing. Some of our Adventist exchanges are particularly lively in this direction. It is amusing to see them groping and stumbling around among the very crudest ideas respecting the Sabbath question. The Greek of Matt. 28:1 is exciting their curiosity not a little. But they would do well to go back about twenty years, and read up. We can never cease to be thankful that the great, distinguishing, and testing truth for the people of God in these last days, is so clear that the bitterest attacks of prejudice, sophistry and ignorance can make no impression upon it. Such is the Sabbath question. He who is passably well informed upon this subject, and consistently observes the institution, is girded with a panoply of strength which places him beyond all fear in this direction. And better than all, he has that degree of the blessing and approbation of Heaven, that his heart is filled with joyful anticipations of that promised rest which in our earthly Sabbaths is so feebly emblemed.
