The Bible Sabbath

The Bible Sabbath.—The only authority for a holy Sabbath of rest which Christians have is the Bible. If this be not true, then it is not, according to Protestant Christianity, of any worth, and "not to be received as an article of faith." But if the Bible is authority for any Sabbath at all, it is for the true Sabbath, and that is the seventh day. France, in her infidelity, set apart a tenth part of the time instead of the seventh. This the Christian world called blasphemy. The Roman Catholic Church, by tradition, changed the day from the seventh to the first. Now what is this? Is it not as much an evil to do the second as the first? Has mortal man any more right to change the day than the proportion of time? Jesus says of the Sabbath law, "It is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."
