friends the other day, and the story is given
just as he told it and without his knOwl-

they were called to the stage by the little

racing down the stairs, actually unbuttOn-

her. At signal from the stage manager

said to exalt itself above him; and
in nothing could it more daringly
"blaspheme his name," than by
tampering with that precept which
reveals TO man the only true and
living God, for the Sabbath is his
sign. Elk. 3l:13, IA.
Thus we see that these prophecies
have met, in the assumptions and
work of this power, every essential
specification of these predictions;
and those who labor to show that this
change, which we see, is sanctioned
by God, though they may not be
aware of it, are, nevertheless, aiding
and abetting this evil agency in its
work of exalting itself above all that
is called God or that is worshipped;
and to "blaspheme his name" The
Scriptures have not, therefore, left
us without instruction in regard
to this subject; neither is the scroll
of the past silent on the matter.
And wise, indeed, will they be, who
nave an ear 10 near.
The above is but brief outline
of this subject. But / trust that
some points have been made sulli-
GENTLY apparent to encourage the
reader to emulate those noble Be-
reans, who searched the scriptures
daily" and "received the word with
all readiness of mind" Acts Hal.
In conclusion, then, from the
foregoing prophecies, and their
manifest fulfilment, we see that
Sunday sanctity rests wholly upon
the traditions of men, and especially
upon the traditions of the ''man of
SIM So whenever any old manu-
script is brought forward in support
of the change of the Sabbath, il il
proves anything, it proves that the
mystery of iniquity" had so far
developed, in the days of its
author, as to begin the work of
change indicated by the prophecy.
And whenever the concessions of
modern Jewish Rabbis, to the Sun
day substitute, are set forth as "sig-
niticant,'' it most certainly signifies,
if anything Gin the light of the
above predictions), that the Jews,
too, are being made drunken with
the wine of denominations and filth
ness" from the ''golden cup in
the hand of the ''Mother of Har-
lots Grew. 1856, and call will
soon be in condition to worship
the BEAST" and that the claw of
the Lord" is no longer sweet in
their mouth, nor as much to be de-
sired as ''much fine gold," Ps.
1910.
Indeed the time is upon the
world, of which Paul wrote G. Tim.
4:3, ~, when men would mot en-
dure sound doctrine;" but would
"turn away their ears from the
truth, and be turned unto fables"
But when all this sin and woe is
past, "them that were beheaded for
the witness of Jesus, and for the
word of God, and which had not
worshlpped the beast, are seen,
'and they lived and reigned with
Christ" Rev. 2O:4.
TO close l would ask, is it Scrip
ture or reason to conclude that the
traditions of men, making the
word of God of none effect now
MARK 7:5-l3), are any more
pleasing to our merciful Lord. than
they were when he walked among
men, a man of sorrow and acquaint-
ed with grief? And is it not just as
true to-day, as it waa then, that "we
wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against municipalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places?"
