Clerks Mistake" may ast that It again be

clerk and said: " You have made a mistake in
marking that furniture. and ! have lost 20 nor

Sunday sncredness.

To the Editor:
In answer to 20. f." who argues in favor Of
the nrst day as the Sabbath. let me say that
Christ never changed the sabbah from the sew
enth 10 the nrst day OF the week see Matt w..
1919. John ~. 10. 8. 2s). The Son Of Man is
Lord also Of the Sabbath" What does this
meant simply that the Sabbath is the Lords
Sabbath. Let 1t be remembered that the day
here called the Sabbath is the seventh day OF
tho week. the day which the Jews professed to
keep. Tho Christians know no religion. except
what the Bible tells them therefore they must
call the seventh day the Sabbath and that day
only. hut how did It become the Lords Day.
He made It, 1t was Jesus that created all things
tsee John L.. Ia: Col. l., l3-iD Now the one
who created the heavens and the earth In six days
must necessarily have been the one who rested
on the seventh day. and who blessed and sancti-
Nod It Gen. H., Ia; Ex. TX. Slid. Therefore
Jesus Is the Lord Of tho Sabbath by virtue OF
his power As Creator. The Apostles never once
kept the first day OF tho week as the Sabbath.
20. F. refers to John TX. 1895. See Acts L.,
10. which will show you they all lived In that
upper room and were at home partaking Of their
evening meal when the Saviour appeared to them.
and in Luke xiv. I-t3 tells us the Apostles
gave him a boiled nsh and honey. and he
took It and did eat before them" These are
never used at cvommunion.
First Cor. xvi. O. refers to collections Of money
to be taken up for the saints at Jerusalem.
Paul said. Let every one of you lay by him In
store" that Is. at home. for this was not to be
taken up in the public congregation. and has no
reference to the Sabbath at all. Rev l.. 10:
