There Are Too Many Creeds

Our facetious, good-natured editor of the Mountain View Register-Leader, in an editorial with the self-evident heading, "There Are Too Many Creeds," with large liberality says: "If the Adventist wants to have his Sunday on what other people are pleased to term Saturday, that is his right and privilege, and the man that would seek to interfere with it ought to be basted behind the ear with a brickbat. Never interfere with another man's religion, unless you have something better to offer, which you have not." With the broad liberal spirit of the editorial we are pleased. The editor does not believe in compulsion or coercion. Good; neither do we. We have no right to coerce a man into our way of thinking if we know ours is the better way. Man's right to believe or disbelieve is not to be infringed. But say, no Seventh-day "Adventist wants to have his Sunday on what other people are pleased to term Saturday." He wants his Sunday right where it comes, the first day of the week. The Sabbath is quite another thing.
