"I Shall Like it Exceedingly."
By Editor
A CORRESPONDENT of the Advent Watchman, in addressing Z. Campbell, says:—"I have been reading your little work on the Sabbath. I shall like it exceedingly if your assertion can be proved." This writer has simply expressed the real feelings of his heart, and, doubtless, has told the feelings of many others. They would "like it exceedingly" if something could be found to disprove the Lord's Sabbath, no matter what it is. He calls Z. Campbell's effort by the right name—"Your assertion," and expresses great doubt about his being able to prove it; but would "like it exceedingly" if he could make out the case. It would please so many who hate the Lord's Sabbath, that I should think Mr. Campbell would try to bring some proof to substantiate his "assertion." In the last REVIEW we quoted Mr. Campbell's words, that he had "mounted the car of sacred truth," &c; but we see that the Harbinger has published his tract twice, July 16th and 23d. The simple reason for doing this, was, that his car was thrown off the track the first time by a blunder in the illustration, which made the first day of the week the Jewish second day, instead of the seventh, as designed by the author of the tract; so the Harbinger gives the whole matter over the next week to get Mr. Campbell's car on the track again. Also, this recent writer in the Watchman, in summing up the matter, says, or the printer makes him say:—"Hence the Babylonians commenced 12 hours after the Jews," [which would be 6 in the morning] "and we 6 hours after the Babylonians," [which would be at noon!!] Our readers will pardon us for noticing the crooked, blundering course of these men who hate the Lord's holy Sabbath. The fact that some honest souls become confused and deceived by them, is our only excuse for noticing them.
