A Definite Day

Pacific Press Publishing Association · Mountain View, California · Feb 18, 1913

THE men who are pleading for a Sunday law at Sacramento and elsewhere, recognize that man needs one day's rest in seven. They affect to believe, and doubtless do, that the author of the Sabbath is God; that the septenary cycle is of divine origin. But can they not also see that the same divine wisdom which appointed the proportion of time of the weekly cycle, appointed the particular portion; namely, the seventh day? Nay, more. He does not even mention in His Word the proportion of time; but He does specify the particular day, the seventh day, the day on which He rested, and which He blessed and hallowed. That day needs no legislation, nor do its observers ask legislation.
