Load Up. Load Up.

By Editor

NOTHING exhibits more clearly the quivering anxiety of the defenders of the Sunday institution, in respect to its observance, nor better illustrates the old adage that drowning men will catch at straws, than the avidity with which they seize upon a shallow and exploded criticism which has recently been set afloat again, as though it was something new, and try to bolster up their cause thereby. It is the claim that the first day of the week is called the Sabbath in the Greek Testament. It was noticed in the REVIEW last week under the heading, “A False Criticism.”

The trouble with the criticism is that it is utterly false—not a word of truth in it. It is the offspring of either ignorance or dishonesty. In the little tract on Sabbaton, the matter is fully explained, and the error clearly exposed. What we took up our pen, therefore, to say is, to all our friends, to load up with the proper documents, and be ready for those who thus try to propagate error.

Wherever the article herein referred to is circulated, and any handle made of it, we advise our friends to procure a supply of the tract on Sabbaton, and circulate it just as widely, if possible. If any will not read the refutation, they show themselves lovers of deception, and must reap the consequences.
