1883.—The Sabbath in Northern Latitudes
How can the Sabbath be kept in the northern countries from sunset to sunset when the sun is above the horizon several weeks at a time? O. M. In the first place there are very few, if any, people living in northern latitudes where the sun does not set for several weeks at a time. Nearly all people live below that latitude; and yet even those who do live there have no trouble in keeping the day. They can tell when the Sabbath comes just as easily as they can tell when any other day comes. We have never heard of any trouble of our brethren who live in the northern regions of Iceland, Norway, and Sweden; nor have we from those who keep Sunday in those regions.
