No Seventh-Day Law

By Editor

Would Seventh-day Adventists, if they were in a majority in California, ask for a seventh-day law? This is a question asked, and we wish to reply emphatically, No! a thousand times no! They simply believe that the Creator of the heaven and the earth, the Redeemer of mankind, is able to care for His own, and they would be willing to leave all opposers and recalcitrants with Him. They believe in the words of the Christ whom they serve: "I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear My words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth Me, and receiveth not My words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." John 12:46-48. They are willing that God's own agency shall do the judging, willing that the time shall be where the Master has placed it.
