The Sabbath Question

By Editor

OF ALL QUESTIONS PRESSING UPON THE RELIGIOUS WORLD TODAY NONE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT OF THE SABBATH; FOR IN THAT ARE INVOLVED ALL OTHER VITAL QUESTIONS. IT IS AGITATED EVERYWHERE. IT HAS PUSHED OUTSIDE OF THE RELIGIOUS CIRCLES INTO POLITICS. ONE CLASS IS DEMANDING THAT A DAY SHALL BE ENFORCED BY RELIGIOUS LEGISLATION. THERE ARE NOW FIVE BILLS UPON THIS QUESTION BEFORE THE AMERICAN CONGRESS. AND THE MOVEMENT IS GROWING. ANOTHER CLASS BELIEVES IN A DAY OF REST, BUT BELIEVES THAT IT SHOULD BE A MATTER OF FAITH WITH THE INDIVIDUAL. A THIRD CLASS—RAPIDLY GROWING LESS—IS INDIFFERENT. THE BIBLE IS THE CHRISTIAN'S BOOK. BY THE LAW OF THAT BOOK WE SHALL BE JUDGED. WHAT IS ITS TEACHING ON THE SABBATH QUESTION? THIS, THE LORD WILLING, WILL BE GIVEN IN OUR BIBLE-READING NEXT WEEK.
