SENTINEL of July 9, 1908. writer
by w. S. Boone, in which article
he urges the observance of tht
seventh day, Sabbath by all christ
ians, and goes so far as to say al
who do not observe this day are
guilty Of disobeying the law of the
Lord, therefore are under condem
nation. But let us see little
farther about this before we make
the change aud see whether the
Jewish Sabbath is really binding
on christians or not, and IL not,
whyp Should man try to persuade
men to observe it and bind some.
thing on christians which has been
loosed; we find in reading this ar.
ticle he claims the Disciples kept
it. Christ honored it, and all the
early christians kept it for hun
dreds of years after the crucifix-
ion, but find nothing in the
scriptures to confirm that claim.
We will admit that Christ honored
the Sabbath and his disciples kept
it, for they were all Jews and were
still under the law. But the law
hath been our schoolmaster to
bring us unto Christ, but now that
faith is come, we are no longer un-
der schoolmaster Gal. 1924 and
25. But after the Resurrection
of Christ, we don't find where the
early christians ever observed it,
but they always met on the first
day of the week, or Lords day,
which we call Sunday for religious
worship, see (Acts 20:7.) That
ls to break bread or to partake OF
the Lords Supper as it is common
ly called, and for giving of aims
and for support of the gospel, see
Il Cor. 1892 in st. John 1925,
l6:13 We find that Christ
promised the Holy Spirits to the
Apostles for the express purpose
of bringing all things to their re-
membrance, aud to guide them in
to all truth, and in { Mathew 1918
and 10 Christ told Peter he would
give to him the keys of the King
dom of Heaven, and whatsoever he
bound on earth should be bound in
Heaven; and whatsoever he loosed
on earth should be loosed in Heav-
en-. So we find the Apostles new
er bound the observance of the
Sabbath on any of Christ's foll,w-
ers, but as have said they always
met on the first day of the week,
and in (Col. 2:s to 49, we find
the following stake heed lest there
shall be any one that maketh
spoil of you,'' through his phil
osophy and main deceit after the
tradition of mea, after the rudi-
ments of the world and not after
Chrlst, for in him dwelleth all the
fullness of the God head bodily,
and in him ye are made full who
is the head of all principality and
power, in whom ye were also cir
cumcised with circumcision not
made with hands, in the putting
off of the body of the flesh IN the
circumcision of Christ. Having
been buried with him in baptism,
wherein ye were also raised with
through faith in the working OF
God, who raised him from the
dead, and you being dead, through
your trespasses and the uncircum-
cision of your flesh. You say did
he quicken together with him.
Having forgiven us all ou- tres
passes. Having blotted out the
bond written In ordinances, that
was against us which was contrary
to us, and he hath taken it out of
the way, mailing 1t to the cross.
Having put off from himself the
prir cipalities and the powers, he
made a show of them openly, tri-
umphiqg over them in it, Let no
man therefore judge you in meat
or in drink or in respect of feast
day, or u new moon, or Sabbath
day, which are q shadow of the
things to come, but the body is
Christ's.
Nnw as the Apostle Paul was
one Of the inspired apostles, and
was guided by the Holy Spirit, he
says; the bond of ordinance was
done away, and was contrary to us
and he took 1t out of the way nail
