Sunday, the first day of the week, was
observed by the apostles together with
the Sabbath, and this practice lasted until
the fifth century. At first Sunday was
observed as an additional Distinguishing
mark OF the Christians who wished TO
separate themselves from the Jews. There
is no warrant in the Bible for the substi-
tuition OF Sunday for the Sabbath. Con.
stantine the Great, A. ID. 321, ordered that

actual superseding OF the Sabbath by
Sunday among Christians cannot be
