The Pre-Existence of Christ, His
Work and His Memorial"
Mr. Froom believes that a clea1
understanding of this question is {
safeguard against many of the falst
doctrines and ''isms" of the day
The liberal use of the Bible seem:
to do more to convince his hearer:
than arguments could do. He said
in part:
Eve wander back in quest o.
the origin of our race and of the
world we inhabit till we meet the
sublime declaration, In the begin
ming, God Everywhere it is writ
ten, there is Coda living Goo
who created all things and up
holds all things by His power. THAI
Creator was Christ. In the be
ginning was the Word . . AL
things were made by Him, ant
without Him was not anything
made that was made He was il
the world. and the world was made
by Him. Jno. 1, 1-3, 10.
ITO this Paul agrees in Col. 1
1917. For by Him were all things
created Also in Heb. /, 1-3, We
learn that He made the worlds.
Let it therefore be forever settled
that Christ was with the Father
when the world was planned and
formed, and that He was the ac-
tive agent by whom the heavens
and the earth were created.
"On the first day of creation
week He caused light to shine
where before was darkness. On the
second day the mists were collec-
ted in clouds and the firmament
was made. The third day the dry
land and vegetation appeared. On
the fourth day He appointed sun,
moon and stars to rule the day
and night. The fifth day brought
forth the inhabitants of the deep.
And on the sixth day He formed
the animal creation and, lastly,
man, His noblest creation.
cit was Christ, therefore, that
ed, blessed and sanctified the
a day. The seventh day is
the Christian Sabbath, for Christ
made it. This fact makes plain the
words, Therefore the Son of Man
lis Lord also of the Sabbath day,
Mark 2, 27. To refuse the seventh
day Sabbath of Christ, as comman-
ded in the fourth commandment, is
to deny Christ as our Creator.
God performed a marriage cere-
mony in the Institution of the Sab
bath. In Gen. 2, 3, We read that
God blessed the seventh day In
Elk. 20, IL, we read that He bless
ed the Sabbath day and in the
tenth verse we read the seventh
day is the Sabbath of the Lord,
thy God,' thus making one out of
- h,ar SnSn IN
gether, let not mortal man attempt
to separate.
''In Nix. 2, 27, we learn the
Sabbath was made for man. He
was told to keep it, Elk. 20, 8. In
Gen. 2, 8, we are told of garden
that was made for man. He was
also told to keep that. He made a
sad mistake when he failed to do
SO, and he makes a sad mistake
who fails to keep the Sabbath. God
said, Remember but the world
has forgotten.
''Does it make any difference
which day you keep, so long as you
keep one holy? The same God and
the same law that tells us to keep
one holy, tells us which day. Fur
thermore, God only can make a
day holy. 1t is an impossible task
for any man, or all men put to-
ther, or even the Pope of Rome,
make day holy. But there is
Kly one day in the week that he
Can keep holy, and that is the
day God has made holy.
Nowhere is the seventh day call
ed the Jewish Sabbath in the Bi-
bile. Did the Jews create the hea'
ven and earth? The seventh day
is the Sabbath of the One Who did
1t was made 1000 years before
there was a Jew on the face of the
earth.
sIt is childish and absurd to say
you can't tell which is the identi-
cal seventh day. For forty years

to this the Jews, scattered in ev

that day to this the sun-worshfp
ers of the Orient have observe'
