The Difficulty of Sabbath Reform

MINISTERS are a kind of spiritual tradesmen who supply food suited to the mental digestion of the people. If too honest and too simple in applying the word, their flocks soon start them about their business; hence the difficulty in getting them to lead off in Sabbath reform. The Protestant reformation was not perfect; had it been, there would have been only one sect, and that one such as described in Rev. 14:12: "Here are they who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus." Though many Pagan errors cling to our Christianity they will all be dispelled in time by the light of God's word, which is an expanding revelation covering all time.
"How glorious is the sacred page, Resplendent like the sun; It gives a light to every age, It gives but borrows none." —Sel.
HABITS, though in their commencement like the filmy line of the spider, trembling at every breeze, may in the end prove as links of tempered steel.—Mrs. Sigourney.
