abrogated. Is it possible the law given
by high heaven is null and void? The
holy record says ''perfe ct converting
the SOUL" Jesus came not to destroy
The law but to fulfill it (keep it," The
damaging effect of such teaching by the
clergy at large is hard to estimate. All
civil law is founded upon the code of
the Bible. Is it not teaching anarchism
to instruct thousands, yes, millions OF
growing minds in Sunday schools that
the law of God is abrogated? Truly,
the anarchiStic schools of Chicago are in
every city of our great land, through
the inStrumentality of such teaching.
Study the Lords law; obey it; it is just
and good; has not been changed and
never can be. The world is teeming
with wickedness, aided and abetted by
the class of ministers that swell with
dignified eloquence declaring men
should no longer heed the right

child within their hearing can turn the

Christianity Heaven itself is gov

keeping, and there will be no need OF

to bolster up that institution. The
very fact that the church solicits aid
from the civil authorities to carry out
the ends, shows at once to the candid
mind the false basis they work upon,
and that the pagan ''SunS day." having
no Biblical foundation to rest upon, must
needs have the assistance of civil law
or fall into disrepute among the people.
These clergy say the whole world is
profaning the Sunday. What else can
be expected from the people that have
been educated by false teaching from the
pulpit these 1900 years. The clergy
themselves need to return to the funda-
mental teaching of Jesus in regard to
the Holy Sabbath day in memory OF the
creation, and should that condition be
gained, they could, with some hope of
success. undertake to lead the people.

one too, for those times. What did He
know of Sunday keeping in the example
given the world of His life while pre-
pairing for the ministry? Nothing! For
thirty years every first day of the week
He was hard at work at his bench. Sun
day was not born into the world as an
attachment to the Christian church
until the time of Constantine, A. ID.
321. He declared in substance: ''All
people living in walled cities, from a.
III. to p. M, should cease from labor
upon the venerable day of the sun; but
those living outside, lest they lose the
bOuntieS granted by heaven, should fol-
low their usual occupation of agricult-
ure."
This ENGRAVING of heather institu-
ton upon the then existing church was
to conciliate the surrounding nations
and thereby gain their names upon the
list as Christians and 50 augment the
power of the ambitious Constantine.
Soon following this, the edict from
Rome passed along the line "Let those
who refuse to keep the Sunday be &C
cursed of Oh iSt."
Then indeed Sunday was a mature
thing, and not till then.
The world has been led step by step
into violation of the Lords holy law and
his holy Sabbath day, and this course
was chiefly inaugurated when the early
church embraced this deadly parasite
born of ambition.
