We will next notice some of thu pas

Fos'FEAR OF THE JEWS.
But that does not say they were
gathered to institute nor TO keen a
new Sabbath, but that they gathered
and shut themselves in for fear of the
Jews. Now, will make this general
statement: that do not find that any
OF those frst day meetings mentioned
IN Acts have reference whatever TO the
change of Sabbath to Sunday. but
show that the first day OF the wee K
took new nAme,-thst of the Lords

Old Testament Sabbath stand Rrst, as
God and Moses had instituted it for.
as have shown, they always went in
co the Synagogue on Saturday and kept
1t before keeping the First day.
WHERE IS THE PROOF?
Where then is the proof af the
change OF Gays7 And until there ia
such Scriptural preof furnished, I ask

The First Baptist Church, Of Rich

lace Taylor for holding the belief that
Saturday ls the Sabbath, so says the
Richmond PLANET. The Mississippi
Baptist now rises TO AJAX, wherein con-
sisted the heresy? We have only one
the holy day, which says. Remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holv," etc.,
and whether the first or the seventh
day is taken, is, now, q matter Of
choice whether the day that saw the
finishing of the salvation of man
shrough she resurrection of Christ, or
the finishing of the creation of the
world, shall be regarded as the holy
day. Nor is there any thing in any
Baptist Directory that arbitrarily de-
cides the matter. The Virginia church
has not used due Baptist caution in
this case.
