Sabbath Day Rejected.

EDITOR STANDARD:-The question
has been asked through the STAND
ARD, by what authority do Chris,
tians reject the Sabbath day and
keep sacred, holy, and rest the first
day of the week ?
Replying, I give the following rea-
sons: God made the world in six days
and on the seventh day he rested
from all his laborS, it being necessa-
ry for him to rest on the seventh day,
or else he would not have done it.
God thought it important that one
day of the week be set apart for the
people to rest, keep holy and wor-
ship him; hence he gave Moses the
law on Mount Sinai, containing the
ten commandments, a part of which
says, remember the Sabbath day TO
keep it holy.-EXodus 20, 8.
Moses taught this law to the Jews,
and they had to keep the sabbath
day, to rest and worship God. This
was compulsory, a violation of which
was punishable by death. Jesus
Christ was born in the end of the
Jewish economy, and being Jew he
kept the sabbath day and the law
and did no works, only good works
on the sabbath. Christ was crucified
about this age 80 years, and at his
death he nailed the law of the Jews
which contained the ten command
ments, to the cross. Let us not mis-,
take at this point and say the ter
commandments are not part of the
law. The ten commands were writ
ten on tables of stone. They were
done away in Christ, so says Paul il
I'd Corinthians, chapter. Read i
and see.
Christ lived under the law, kept thu
sabbath, and he himself was the enc
of the law, and that ended the sab
bath.
After this if there had been no 9th
er law given we would not be bounC
to keep any day holy, to rest ant
worship; but Jesus arose from thu
grave on the first day Of the week
See Mark Is, 8, and he conquered
death, hell and the grave. He camr
forth a spiritual king ana must need

Sometime since we asked of Col.

which we received the following
reply:

will in the course of a few weeks turn
my attention to the duties of my new
position as a member of Congress,
and then will try and comply with
your request. In the meantime LET
me throw out two or three sugges>
tons.
First in point of importance to the
Southern people is the defeat of all
such measures as the force bill. We
must be permitted to manage oul
own affairs. Home rule is more i'm
portant to us than to Ireland, or any
other people on the earth.
Second. Assuming that the force
bill and kindred measures have re-
ceived quietus, then the paramount
question is the reduction Of taxation
to the extent of relieving the MAORI

The Trials of Winter.

Winter is trying period even to
those who have strong constitutions,
but it is doubly trying to those who
are weak and delicate, or who have
a tendency to the various diseases

kept strengthened and toned up with

A CONVENTION has been called to
meet at Hartman on the 18th of May
to mature plans and provide ways
and means for the proper representa-
ton of East Tennessee at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition in 1893. Ans
other convention is also called to
meet at Chattanooga on June 10th,
to provide for an exhibit by the
Chattanooga District" 1t might
be we'll for the promoters of the latter
convention to define the limits of the
Chattanooga District" or the work
of the two conventions may conflict.
The boundary lines of East TennesS
see are definitely fixed, but the
Chattanooga District" embraces any
amount of territory between the st.
Lawrence rapids and the Florida
Keys which the caprice of each indi-
vidual Chattanooga newspaper man
may see fit to include in the sweep OF
his fertile imagination. Perhaps the
government might be induced to have
its exhibits shown as an interesting
auxiliary to that of the "Chattanooga
District"

Memphis Commercial The opin-
ions of a few representative mems
bers of the press of this State upon
pertinent political questions will be
found in another page. They are in-
teresting because they coincide with
the drift of opinion expressed in Vir-
ginia, as developed by the Richmond
Times, and by that which ex-Repre-
sentative William L. Scott has de-
veloped in Pennsylvania. They are
opposed to the free coinage Of silver,
regard the sub-Treasury9as "the irri-
descent dream ofsmall statesmen and
turbulent demagogues," and believe
that Cleveland will and ought to be
the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent next year, and that Harrison
will be the Republican candidate il
Blaine is not.

dividual. People should not become
offended and think that they are per-
sonated when newspaper effective
ly combats or ridicules some of their
ideas. For our correspondent we en-
terrain nothing but the friendliest
feeling, and we do no violence to that
feeling when we antagonize his ideas.
In all public matters the STANDARD
openly and boldly advocates what we
honestly conceive to be the greatest
good to the greatest number. To do
this it frequently becomes necessary
to lay down our personal interests as
an individual. We presume every
conscientious editor has such expert
ences.
While our correspondent complains
at us for charging that he backed
down from one offer he made on his
property, yet he does not deny the
truth of the charge. We are not in
the real estate business, and if we
were, he offers too small q commits
sion to sell his property at such an
advanced figure over the price at
which he offered it some time ago. If
he will be right enterprising, though,
vote for water works, throw all his
influence for increasing our public
school facilities, join the Commercial
Club and aid all in his power to
build up the town and promote its
growth, we believe his property will
soon be worth what it sold for over
twenty years ago, and think he will
have no trouble in selling it at that
figure.
To interpolation contained in this:
ut is exceedingly unkind in you to
denominate your patrons and others
who differ with you on municipal
government as narrow>minded TO-
gies," we plead not guilty. We did
nothing of the kind. Our cores
pondent signed his previous article
"a Narrow-Minded FOgie Tax-Pay>

quoted his own signature.
Regarding his industrial school
proposition, we admit that IN reply
ing to the former article, that feature
entirely escaped our memory. Indus
trial schools are splendid institutions,
but are entirely impracticable for
small towns. They can only be main.
tanned by states and very large cities.
We should certainly oppose burdens

pOndent's suggestions are but the sir
ridescent dream" of ideas entirely toe
progressive for the age. What We
had in mind when dismissing the
subject without consideration, was
his suggestion to reduce the schoo
tax to 10 cents, and our city schools
to five months in the year. We dom
think any considerable number of oul
people, either rich or poor, are willing
to see the town progress backward:
after that kind of style.

direct his subjects. Just before his
ascension he said to his apostles that
he was going to his father, and for
them to tarry at Jerusalem until the
Comforter came, and that he, the
Spirit, would bring to their memory
all things that he had taught them,
and that he would guide them into
all truth. See John II and IS chaps
tiers.
Now the Holy Spirit did guide the
apostles into all truth and they either
taught by precept or example all that
is necessary for the human family to
know in order to be saved from sin,
and to live the christian life. Just
the way the apostles taught us to do,
or left example on record to follow,
we should strictly comply with, moth
ing more. So Paul was guided by
Jesus or the Holy Spirit when he
said to the disciples, forsake not the
assembling yourselves together as the
manner of some is. Heb. 10, %. Let
us not forget that we must assemble
ourselves together. Paul came to-
gether with the disciples at Troas on
the first day of the week to take the
Lords Supper (worship.) See Acts
20, 6 and7.
Paul said to the church at Corinth
concerning the collection for the
saints, as have given order to the
churches at Gallatia, even so do We.
Upon the first day of the week let
every one of you lay by him in store
as God hath prospered him. See
Cor. Is, and 9. So you see even
the collection for the saints must be
done on the first day ofthe week.
Paul recognized the custom of the
church at Corinth of coming together
to take the Lords Supper, but COM
planned at them for coming together
hungry,and drinking to drunkenness,
see / Cor. II, 20 to SO, as some of
them did, but instructed them to
take the supper in memory of Christ
till he comes again.
John on the Isle of Patmos was in
the spirit on the Lords day, and if
any day should be called the Lords
day to the exclusion of others, it GER
tainly should be the first day of the
week, the day Christ arose conqueror
of death, hell and the grave. So
Christ, through the inspired apostles,
has taught us how to worship, and
} what day to worship, either by pre-
cept or example. Jesus, after his
= resurrection and before his ascension,
= never kept the sabbath day, neither
did the apostles, because Christ had
nailed the sabbath to the cross. But
the apostles commanded the disciples
to assemble together, which they did,
| on the first day of the week, together
3 with the apostles to commemorate
t the sufferings and death of Christ,
take up their collection, to rest and
keep the day holy.
The very fact that Jesus and the
apostles did not keep the sabbath af-
ter Christ's death, and the further
fact that the apostles and disciples
kept the first day of the week ought
to satisfy any seeker of truth; There
fore to keep any other than the first
; day of the week to commemorate the
Lord'ssuffering and death, seems to be
I socrilegious, and dangerous for want
of example. Take heed. Other rea'
sons might be given why Christians
s reject the sabbath and keep the frs
day of the week, but these are suffic'
: lent. l hope every reader will thor
; oughly examine the Bible reference!

"Fogte Water Works"

GDlIOh OIANDAhD- ClOoiuB my
part of this discussion, / wish to say
that l am glad that you are now oP-
posed to bonding eur town. am al
so glad thatyou admit that there is
no public necessity for drawing on

not close this discussion without per-

Before making the charge that your
opponent would have the people be-
lieve that Annis Cotton Mills Co.,

earth and elements surrounding, you
should have first shown that he
claimed one thing at least that they
had not paid for. If this charge had
been made against those proposing to
90 on their property without one
cent compensation; it would have
been more appropriate.
And again your opponent would
have the people believe that he would
sell his business stand for $500 less
than it sold twice, over twenty years
ago. Yet you are so uncharitable as
to say, that he does not want to sell
as bad as he pretended, would have
the people believe.)
Now, Mr.. Editor, l will give you
800 to find mea man with the money
who will buy at the $500 less than
twice sold over twenty years ago ago.
