Sunday, the first day of the week.
And it not only compelled all to keep
Sunday, but at the council at Leo
dicea, A. d. 364, mathematical those

Priest Enrisht's Offer Again.


In view of the assertion so often
made that Priest Enright had with
drawn his offer of one thousand dol
lars for one text of Scripture that we
are bound under grievous sin to keep
Sunday holy, instead of the seventh
day, we sent to said Enright query
on this point to learn from his own
words the truth in regard to this
matter. This is his reply, in which
the lie about his withdrawal of his
offer is thoroughly nailed
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov 26, 1901.
DEAR SIR: Your note came
while ! was absent on missionary
duties. / rside here at present
address above. l received few
letters from Madam Wilson. re-
quested her to send me some proofs
of her assertions. So far | have re-
received none. / have never with.
drawn my offer.
Il hereby offer one thousand dol
lars to any one who can prove, from
the Bible alone, that am bound un-
der grievous sin to keep Sunday
holy. ct ENRIGHT."
The above reference is taken from
an eastern paper of recent date and
shows the reward still goes. Ad-
ventists firmly believe in Saturday
and that those observing Sunday are
breaking one of the ten command
ments, and in this view they place
all the commandments on the same
plane If those keeping Sunday as
the Lords day are breaking one of
the commandments, then indeed the
number who are on the wrong track
is very large. 1t is held by many
that the day matters not so long as
one is given over to the worship of
God. 1t will probably require trans
mission to the realms above to ascer-
tain the true facts.

Discussion as to Which is the Lords

There is more or less discussion go.
ing on in different parts of the coun.
try concerning the proper day to OBJ.

ventists appear to be growing in
number and in some places are be-
coming quite strong. They hold that

week and on the seventh-Saturday

Judge Holbrook of Alamosa has con.
tributed a series of articles to the

can 1t be found that the day now OBJ.
served is the Lords day and that
Saturday is the one designated by
the Creator. There are quite num-
ber in Durango studying this ques-
ton. 1t Is claimed that the Catho-
lies changed the day from Saturday
to Sunday and that the rest of the
world has followed in their footsteps.
