A CANDID ADMISSION.

The Christian Oracle says: "The Lord's day is an ordinance—an appointment or arrangement—to subserve spiritual ends; likewise the Lord's Supper and Christian baptism." We should like to see the first part of this statement established by the holy Scriptures, if it is a fact; but we are certainly not able to accept it without. There is not to our knowledge any ordaining of a day under the gospel; whatever ordaining there may be about it is because of civil enactment, and not of divine command, as are baptism and the Lord's Supper.—New England Evangelist.
