The sabbath question.

iulhlmsnt In Christ, has no longer any
claims upon US, Is an erroneousposition.
It is SO, because the fourth Command
ment was never part Of the Jewish Ger
monial lay.
It is tine the civil laws Of the Jews,
having God for their author, required the
observance Of the Sabbath, and prescribed
penalty for its violation; just as It did
in regard to the other commends Of the
decalogue. The Sabbath law was no
more a part Of the ceremonial law Of the
Jews, than was the law Of theft the law
OF murder, or the law Of charity. Il be-
longed exclusively TO the moral law,
which from its nature could never be abb
rogated. ,.t
II is true, there il a reference to the
typical significance OF the Sabbath in the
epistle to the Hebrews, Oh. ", V, 10.
"For he that is entered into his rest, hath
ceased from his own works, as God did
from His" Reading this text in its con-
nection, we find that the reierenceis TO
Christ's work Of redemption, az u compile
ted work; and as under the Old Testa-
ment dispensation, the Sabbath, in its
weekly return; was ever commemorative
Of the completion ofthe work Of creation.
So under the Christian dispensation, it
would be commemorative ofthe compile
ton Of the work Of redemption.
will Just here ask the reader TO no.
tice the bearing this has on the Christian
Sabbath, as n foundation for the change
Of the day from the seventh 10 tho first
day Of the week. The author Of creation
was also the author Of redemption, and II
the former be n great work, worthy Of
this weekly commemoration, what shall
we say OF the work Of redemption as COM
pared with it?
This work was completed when Christ
arose from the dead, which we learn was
on the first day OF the week. Then He
ceased from His work, os God did from
His. Then He entered into His rest. The
Jewish ritual then passed away; the thing
signitied in it had had its accomplish:
ment. The Jewish sacrifices and festi-
walls, with their accompanying sabbaths,
or holy days could no longer have any
significance, and being no longer OF use,
were abrogatcd, as we learn from many
lures. Ss in Gal. v: 2 g. a. in. relation 10

or unclean under the Jewish law Is con-
