Changing the Jewish Sabbath

An Eastern paper says: "The Jews are talking of changing their Sabbath to our Sabbath, beginning with the year 1900." We do not see how this thing can be done; the Jews might easily abandon the ancient Sabbath and go to keeping another day; but to change "their Sabbath"—by which we suppose is meant the seventh day, "the Sabbath of the Lord"—to "our Sabbath"—which, we take it, means Sunday—is just as impossible as to change Monday to Thursday, or 12 o'clock noon to 12 o'clock midnight. God has spoken, and said, "The seventh day is the Sabbath," and though "hand join in hand," and both Jew and Papist think to change the times and laws of the Most High, all his commandments will still be sure, they will stand fast forever and ever.
