It Is What They All Say

ROMAN CATHOLICS are very candid in stating their work as to the law of God; they may well be, of course, for history bears them out in the fact. A week's services of a Paulist mission recently concluded in Knoxville, Tennessee. Certain questions were asked the Paulist Father Skinner, and this is the report of the Daily Journal and Tribune of that city of November 12:
Some very important questions for Protestants, have been answered by the mission fathers of the Catholic Church. Some of these questions were handed in by Protestants inquirers. The first question was this: "Protestants keep Sunday, the first day of the week, as a memorial of the resurrection of Christ, instead of the seventh-day Sabbath. Do they have any Scriptural authority for this practise?"
Answer—"No, friends; it is a fact that there is no Scriptural authority for keeping Sunday. God commanded His people under the old law to keep Saturday, which is the Lord's day. No, there is no Scriptural authority for this change. It was the church of Christ that made the change. The Protestants are not consistent with the Scriptures in this practise."
By "the church of Christ" is meant the Catholic Church.
