|CONSIANIINfS COMMAND
TO OBSERVE SUNDAY
A Review of the Testimony of Theo-
Isgians as to the Origin Of the Pres
ent Sabbath.

Let all the judges and townspeople.
tand all artisans. rest on the venera-
ible day of the sun. But let those who
fare situated i'm the country freely and
at full liberty attend to the cultivation
of their fields: because IL often hap
pens that no other day is so fit for
sowing corn or planting vines: lest.
by neglecting the proper occasion. they
should lose the benefits granted by
ldivine bounty '-Constantine. Emper-
or of Rome. March Z, 321 A. ID.
A prominent ENCYCLOPEDIA says of
this law, that unquestionably the first
! law by which the Sabbatical observ-
,ance of the first day Of the week is
known to have been enjoined, either
ecclesiastical or civil, is this constitu-
ttion Of Constantine's, March :. 321 a.
ID.
| Testimony might he multiplied from
many sources in perfect accord with
that already produced. We have shown
that Gods law cannot be changed, and
THAT il nowhere enjoins Sunday OBJ
serVance. We have examined every
text in the New Testament where the
| first day is even mentioned, and In not
a single instance is rest enjoined or
implied in any way or upon any one.
We have also presented a few OF the
thousands of witnesses who agree that
Sunday keeping is not a bible doc
trine; that it is wholly an institution
of mans. and never came by divine
Authority The testimony presented
comes from learned and eminent men
from the leading denominations. and
every one OF them keeping Sunday.
Therefore. their testimony is Of weight
| in this matter. as il does not come
| from men observing another day.
These candid and great theologians
and historians state the facts as they
find them: and by our study of the
word of God. we do know their words
are true: and therefore are fully per-
suaded now. If never before. that there
is no law in the bible against doing
lcommon. secular duties on the first
day Of the week; and this being true
there is no sin in such labor: for
where no law is. there is no trans
gression. Bible. Again. Sin is the
transgression of the law."-Bible.
We also have inquired of the church
which existed and had power. even the
power bl lilt otdNt.
time. when the first Sunday law was
given; and today that church re-
peatedly declares. and this by posi-
tive proof. that they did give to the
| world the Sunday as a rest day in the
place of the Sabbath of the bible: and
this claim we know To be true. for God
Himself spoke of His holy prophet
that just such a work would be done
and that man would think to change"
the law.-Daniel. 1925.
But. suppose men do think to
change" Gods law. can they do IT?
They can absolutely. and in fact
change human laws: but they can
only think to change" Gods law.
In our next we will give even
stronger evidence, if possible. showing
that no change in Gods law could COS
sibly be made after Christs death.
even in the least degree by any one.

mary emphasis in all meetings, which
