The Genuine Sabbath and the Counterfeit
Honest men have kept the Sunday as the Sabbath in the past, we freely believe; but they supposed the error to be truth. Good men have passed counterfeit bills, believing them to be genuine. They would have been as unwilling to part with a fifty-dollar note which they believed to be genuine as they would a genuine note. In that thing honesty is not tested. It is tested when the bill is shown to be counterfeit on good authority. Will not the truly honest heart reject it as false? Men who learn a bill to be counterfeit often lose the amount called for in the bill, but God offers, in the place of the counterfeit sabbath, the genuine Sabbath, with all its blessings. Who would not make such an exchange gladly?
