By different nations every day in the week is set apart for public worship; Sunday by Christians; Monday by the Greeks; Tuesday by the Persians; Wednesday by the Assyrians; Thursday by the Egyptians; Friday by the Turks; Saturday by the Jews. Add to this the diurnal revolutions, and it is apparent that every moment is Sunday somewhere.
The above paragraph is going the rounds of the papers. By some persons it is regarded as evincing the folly of insisting upon one particular day of the week as the Sabbath, to the exclusion of all the others. To us, however, it evinces the necessity of insisting upon that the importance of uniformity in the matter of sabbatizing, is generally admitted. But how is uniformity to be attained? Not by allowing each man, or each nation, to determine what particular day shall be observed, but by following the directions of God who has a right to dictate to all men and to all nations. God has said, "The seventh day is the Sabbath—in it thou shalt not do any work." Universal obedience to that command would produce164all desirable uniformity, as the practice of Jews in different parts of the world proves. General disobedience to that command has produced the confusion above alluded to.—Sab. Recorder.
