Will you please tell me how people keep the seventh day where they have six months day and six months night? M. M. S.
No people live where such conditions prevail. As far north as people live they know the seventh day when it comes as they know every other day. Whether there are people at the poles or not we do not yet know. Let us wait. Suffice that to the present men have had no difficulty in obeying God if they so desired. The same is true as to the round world. Men who are Sunday-keepers and Sabbath-keepers have been round the world again and again, eastward and westward, and have had no trouble. Crossing the Pacific Ocean a day is dropped on the westward journey and added on the eastward. A missionary told us recently that the ship authorities always tried to keep Sunday. But this did not affect Sunday-keeping among those who desired to keep it. The objection has no standing. All facts are against it. It is a quibble against the truth. God made the Sabbath for man. Mark 2:27. He has scattered man over the whole inhabitable earth. Acts 17:24-26. The objection lies not against any set of men, but against God.
