The Seventh-Day Sabbath and Religious Amendment
By Editor
THE seventh-day Sabbath has as strong scriptural ground as has the commandment, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," or, "Thou shalt not kill." THE Christian Statesman of February 10 reports a hearing before a sub-committee of the House Judiciary Committee on the House resolution, No. 120, providing for a religious amendment to the preamble of the Constitution. Dr. McAllister presented arguments in favor of the bill, and the Statesman says: "The members present expressed themselves as deeply interested in the matter, and were evidently profoundly impressed with the argument presented to them in favor of such an amendment to the Constitution. The subject was new to some of them. Assurance was given that the bill will receive careful consideration. . . . Representative Morse is in earnest in his advocacy of the bill. Other members of both Houses have expressed themselves as heartily in favor of it." The next hearing is set for March 6. Would that God might anoint the eyes of the committee that they might see the evil there is in it. Let the friends of truth and liberty pray that on that day, though the majority may be blinded by sophistry, those who desire the knowledge of the truth may be able to discern where it lies.
