TO the Editor Of The Pacific Commercial Advertiser 4:
SIR A correspondent over the signature Of
- Lux " has IN two communications made an effort
to defend the Mosaic Sabbath law against the doc
trine of Christ, Paul, and the great Reformers.
How he has succeeded | leave to the judgment of
every Christian reader. No need to enter into
fresh arguments. However, permit me a few re-
marks OH the letters OF Lux. Although Lux ap-
parently is well versed in Scripture matters. and
particularly in the Old Testament. it is strange
that he should enter into an argument about the
fourth commandment, and at the same time refer to
all the other ten commandment &c, &c" Are
there eleven! Lux is sorry 10 see me in my last
communication fall from gentlemanliness into
something Of uncbristian bitterness " in presum.
ing that the great body Of earnest Christian work
ers in this day are uncircumcised Jews" How
can it be " u~ngentlemanly " to suppose that one
who defends a strictly Jewish Commandment
against the New Testament is an uncircumcised
Jew. Well, To~utle-meme chose, let it be circum-
cised,'; if it is more pleasant. Lux is offended
because | speak Of large and learned bodies Of
Westminster divines and other assemblies Of di-
vines " as guilty Of false doctrines putting for
ward as an argument that large bodies Of divines
could not be guilty Of false doctrines. when one
of the very largest ssemblieso of learned diyines
pronounced the infallibility of the Pope, is that
also true Christian doctrine? II Ink had pro-
dueed from the New Testament only one sentence
in proof of bis arguments 1t would have been an
unassailable rock. Large assemblies Of learned
divines must ever sink before Christ and his disci-
Piles. Furthermore, l wish to state positively that
| have not argued against The Sunday. but against
the Sabbath. and abuse of Sunday Lux SAYS
that Germany never had the Christian Sabbath.
that England, Scotland, and America have. Very
truly, and therefore America and the British Isles
stand in the Temple. and say II thank thee, q
Lord, that / am not like this man" No, Germany
has the Sunday of Calvin and Luther, and never
exercised the religion Of Westminster doctrines,
burning witches, and hanging quakers. Germans
never believe in the Westminster Catechism. Draw
ing necessarily from morning till night, and meas.
uring the length Of Sabbath faces with the shoe
makers measure. That the German Sabbath is a
g sorry picture " is a SANDER. / answer il with a
truth. Lux says {" it is one of the marks Of a per
feet Christian to keep the Lords day" Perhaps
so and perhaps not. Who. / ask. may be supposed
to keep the Lords day more perfect than the Min
listers of The Gospel. the teachers OF the Westmins-
ter Sabbath law, and why then is it that to- day
there are seventeen Of those perfect Christians In
only one penitentiary Of the State OF New York.
