The New National Sunday Law
By Editor
ON page 10 will be found an exceedingly important article by our Washington correspondent, on the Sunday law that was rushed through the last Congress so quickly and so quietly that scarcely any one knew anything about it till the deed was done. The readers of this paper have been kept aware of the fact that one of the most striking prophecies of the Bible calls for a world-wide Sunday law right at the close of time, and this nation is to take the lead in creating the law. It is therefore with deep interest that we note everything of this kind as it comes up. Many people regard the question of Sabbath observance as a matter of mere opinion. But God in His Word has taken the subject clear above the opinions of men. It is a question of His own specific law. His law says that the seventh day, commonly called Saturday, is the Sabbath, and nowhere in all His Word has He, or His Son, or any of His apostles or prophets, ever given the remotest hint that this Sabbath of divine appointment has ever been divinely changed. But the Scriptures do plainly tell of the power that would think to change the times and laws of the most high God. And through this power we have the observance of Sunday brought into the world, and the great mass of the people have been led to believe that God and Christ authorized the change of the Sabbath. But such is not the case. God's holy Sabbath remains as the only day He has ever appointed, and the Sunday institution is its apostate rival. It may seem hard to believe this, but the study of the Bible will reveal that it is actually so.
