observe the am time. God has
changed this once. Ii He so wills,
lie may do so again without any
rupture of the Sabbath law.
We repent. then. that it is careless,
surface thinking which pronounces
the Sabbath a positive and not q
moral law. 1t results from fixing
the mind upon lis accidental forms
and Ignoring its essential spirit. God
wrote the Sabbath, IA He did the
other moral laws, with His "
finger upon the enduring stone, after
lie had already written it in the
garden upon the feshy tablet of mans
Ieart.
