No-Lawism

By Editor

WE receive, from time to time, copies of "An Open Letter to a Seventh-Day Adventist," by B. H. Barton. The whole object of the letter is to take away from the minds of men all idea of the Sabbath. In a very plausible way it says, "We agree with our Adventist friends that God never authorized any one to change the Sabbath of the Decalogue from the seventh day of the week to the first." But it proceeds to tells us that the Sabbath is nothing, notwithstanding the Decalogue. We would really consider the criminal much more generous who, if he took from us one thing, put something else in its place, that in a way might be equivalent, rather than to take our goods entirely, without leaving a substitute therefor. Apostasy has tried to take away God's Sabbath from the minds of His people.
