The Sabbath and Civil Law
One of the crucial questions of the time is that of the Sabbath; not only as regards the day, but its nature and meaning. He who knows the nature of the Sabbath will never seek to secure its enforcement by civil law. He will know that it is just as impossible to do this as it would be to secure, by legislation, sight to the blind. Holiness is of God. He has made the Sabbath holy with His holiness. He commands men to "keep it holy." He who keeps it so as to please God, must keep it holy. He who does not so keep it, does not keep it at all. And no civil law can enforce such keeping. Holiness is a matter of heart relation to God, unaffected by human law. That man who sees the Sabbath in the light of God's Word, will have no question as regards the day. The way is plain to him who will do His will.
