SUNDAY HISTORY.

By J. H. Waggoner

In the last SIGNS was noticed that there has been considerable call for the review of Dr. Benson's book on the "day of the sun," or Sunday. There was a promise made that his references to history should receive some attention. It was my intention to refute his statements by the well-attested facts presented in Andrews' History of the Sabbath. Very many readers of the SIGNS have these facts already in their hands. But many have not, and they are important, and should have a place in the paper.

The reader will also find in this paper a critical exposition of Matt. 28:1, on the use of the word sabbatone. A correspondent calls for this. If the learned Baptist minister, who recently asserted with so much confidence that this text shows that Sunday was called the Sabbath, will give his criticism on the Greek, to prove his position, I will see that that is also published in the SIGNS.
