Evangelist Heard
by Hundreds on
Interesting Text

Saturday, the seventh day OF the
week and not Sunday, the first day of
the week, is the Sabbath Of the Bible,
and IL is the day that people ought to
keep. Christ kept the seventh day ac-
coPoing to the commandment and no
where in the Bible is there place 10
be found stating thar He kept Sunday.
Neither lie there place, or text. in
the inspired word which says that His
disciples kept the first day OF the week
as the Sabbath. These were the startl-
ing statements made by Evangelist
John Francis Wright last night at tne
Large Canvas Tabernacle, when before
q large audience he delivered his stir
ring address upon the subject, WHO
Changed the Sabbath"
After rousing song service conduct
ed by Mr.. Burroughs, and the annuunc-
ing OF the subjects FOR the week. Mr..
Wright plunged into his subject with
great power and freedom, and his
khaarers were held spelI-bound to the
very close Of the service. as he out
lined clearly from both history and the
Bible IN 20 who changed the Sabbath
and when the change took place.
The speaker took his stand upon the
The Protestant Pledge. which reads
that the platform Of all protestants is
the Bible and the Bible only. MIR.
Wright said he was in perfect harmony
with this pledge, so turning 20 the
, scriptures he found that the law of
God, the ten commandments, were
given by God and written by Him on
two tables OF stone, after which they
were handed to Moses TO teach the
people According to the Bible the
creeds Of the different churches. from
(which the speaker read, this law is still
! hs binding today as when given by
God in the beginning. and written out
for Moses. The only part of the law
brought into question in this gay IS
the fourth precept, which says we
should keep the seventh day Sabbath.
The Evangelist went on to say that
all, the churches In Christendom agree
that Christ kept the seventh day while
on earth, but after his resurrection
from the dead. the belief is that He
set apart the first day Sunday as the
day for His apostles and the Christian
church 70 observe. II this is SO. the
Bible ought TO reveal il. Therefore Mr..
Wright took time to consider every
text in the New Testament which men
tions the first day Of the week. He
only found eight texts, and not single
one gave any ground for Sunday OBJ
servanoe. The one found In Acts 20:7
mentions the only religious meeting on
the firet day, butu gives no evidence
for Sunday keeping. While on the
other hand a record IN the same book
was found where Paul and his workers
did keep 90 Sabbaths according TO the
law, thus showing that they were Sab
batarians.
Now finding no evidence in the Bible
for Sunday observance, Mr.. Wright al
so read from many Of the church
creeds, which substantiated the tact
that there was no Biblical authority
for Sunday observance.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-07-29

stops, uncovers and bows in homage
to the American heroes.
Reaching the summit Of the hill of
Su resnes, the interment of the bodies
begins. A crowd of French mothers
and sisters gathers at the graves. They
reverently listen to the chaplains pro-
nounce the last words, and heavy Of
heart, they feel the experience of those
thousands of miles away.
The American bugler takes his place
and slowly and feelingly sounds
taps" The assemblage is moved to
tears. At the final tone, the command
is given and the military escort returns
to its post in the city. The mothers
and sisters return to their homes feel
ing the heaviness of the commitpal OF
the American heroes to the grave.
Their thoughts are carried to the moth
ers and sisters back home.
The Suresnes cemetery Is the gift Of
the Suresnes municipality to the Amer
lean army. 1t is beautifully situated
in the midst Of a cluster of trees. The
city of Paris can be viewed from the To-
cation. The walks are arranged in the
form OF a cross. The surveying was
done by American engineers.
