out the least shadow of evidence
and clearly shows that his Sab
bath keeping has not refined his
better nature, but such is the cold
crude spiritless teaching of 7th
dayism. How narrow must be
the man to think that A. C. rejec-
ted the principles of right and
duty TO God and man, which is to
love God. and your neighbor as
yourself, and thus became an Anti
nomian. What is an Antinomian?
According to Webster "they who
hold doctrine which supersede the
necessity of good works and a
virtuous life" So Luther Williams
Wesley and all in every age who
lived 'under the law of Christ" are
classed with a low vile sect, who
disregarded moral law and a vir-
tuous life.
This comes with but little grace
from man who believes God has
sent him to proclaim the third
angels message. But not content
ed with this he places him and
his followers with Saul, a repro
bate and Judas, the traitor. This
is the fruit which the preachers Of
the 7th day Advents bear, from
such a spirit good Lord deliver us.
Mr.. Scoles says. "And what he
may have written afterwards does
,,ot render untrue that which he
wrot,a before. "Here S. speaks
with authority, but it's with the
thunder male in Battle Creek, !"

Mr.. C. please give Mr.. s. a little
historical information in regard
to what you first wrote. "Well, |

1923, the Christian Baptist

oe became famous as reformer
and spiritual educator. A. G. had
no popular prestiage until about
this time. Betheny college was
not founded until 1841. The re-
formatory truths expressed IN that
sermon he contended for till death;
and yet Mr.. S. has the brazen af-
frontaery of a Jewish pope to say
that "he once accepted the ten
commandments as the great moral
law of God" Once for all let mt
say that the sermon on '"The Law"
| in 1915 is first and last withou;

christian, make AN honorable con
fession to the public of the charges
you alleged against me.
| now hand you over to Mr.
Daisley. Mr.. s. says he is Chris
tian in truth and obeys his Lords
| command in Ex 20. Well, Mr..
). if true why not be circumcised
and keep the Passover, these are
commands of your Lord back in
Ex 13, You are a christian in,
deed, if the everlasting ten are
binding, every jot and little Of the
Sabbath law and its requirements
must be observed. You say a part
won't do, eff call myself chris
tian and do not keep all the COM
mands, bring upon myself con-
demnation." Well, Mr.. s. you are
surely under condemnation for
you don't keep all the commands,
Let us see. Do you offer the burnt
Dffering of every Sabbath?' "Wor.
ship at the door Of the gate" Ye
shall gather no sticks on the Sab
bath 'kindle no fire" bear no bur.
den on the Sabbath. "Whosoever
doeth any work shall be put to
death" children, servants, and cat
tie must rest You shall neither
bake nor boil. "Every Sabbath
breaker must be stoned to DEATH"
Does the Sabbath law remain en-
tire. Then its penalties too, and
I SO why don't you keep your
Lords commands. You say not
one jot or title oft is to pass away,
Of the ten commands then it includ-
es the Sabbath law. Do you hear
what the law saith. Cursed is
every one who continueth not in
al things written in the book Of
the law to do them" Gal 8. 13.
If your mind was not warped, you
could see that, John 2, 4. has no

through Moses, you can't see that
Jesus gave any commands, all the
commands are the ten commands,
