A Sample Argument.

Tract No. 65 of the Society for Promoting the Due Observance of the Lord's Day (29 John Street, Adepli Strand, London, W. C., England) puts forth this wonderful argument on page 5 for the Sunday sabbath:—

"The sabbath law is the separation of one day in seven unto the Lord—one day after six, and not the seventh day absolutely. There came a time when one day in history fell out, as not being, for therein the Lord of life lay dead in the tomb; and the next day—when he rose again, the Prince of life—became at once seventh and first; and this day, thus unique and glorious, was actually the Sabbath according to Divine predictions."

That is, the Sabbath is not a definite day, but only any one day after six of work; but after the one day fell out, presto, the day at once becomes definite! Oh, that men would cease juggling with the word of God! Strange, isn't it, that the disciples of Jesus did not know that the Sabbath was no day at all? And the record—what shall we do with it? See Luke 23:56.
