Sunday-Law Pharisees

ONE of the chief arguments which Sunday-law advocates bring against those who fairly and consistently oppose their work, is to ridicule and reproach them, and condemn the principles and arguments, because disreputable men see their force, and are found supporting them. Their argument is not new, however. The Pharisees of old brought a similar accusation against Jesus; they said, "This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them." Luke 15:2. "How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?" Mark 2:16. "Behold a man gluttonous, and a wine bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners." Matt. 11:19. But His words were true then, and Sunday-law Pharisees would do well to heed them now: "Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you." Matt. 21:31.
