Two Sundays or One.

By James White

The Methodist minister of this city has been evidently disturbed by the lectures of Elder Healey which has resulted in nearly two score signing the covenant to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. He announced that he would speak to his people on the Sabbath question, subject, Two Sundays or One.

In this he departs entirely from Scripture terms as Sunday cannot be found any where in the sacred Scriptures. This form of expression seems to be akin to the oft repeated inquiry put forth in ignorance not only of our practice but of the Scriptures. "Why do you keep Saturday for Sunday?" If these people would study the fourth commandment which says, The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, their difficulties would all be explained, and they if they had a heart in them to follow truth and duty would find themselves in harmony with the divine precept.
