The Sabbath and Its Objections

OBJECTION is often made, that with God's children, who seek his glory, every day is a Sabbath, and every work is holy. This is one of a class of objections which faithfully discovers the shallowness of the conceptions of God's truth in so many. We are not little units, for whom the world was created, and for whom God exists. We were created for him, and not he for us, and the Sabbath, given before the law, is a sign between us and God which the unconverted can read and understand. Every infidel knows that a Christian believes so fully in the God that he denies, that he thinks it worth his while to spend a seventh part of his time in the service of that God, and this is a sign that he cannot forget during an endless eternity. Let us not also forget that there remaineth, when Jesus comes, a "keeping of a Sabbath for the people of God" (Heb. 4:9, margin).—Chris. Herald.
