! me ulStlnCllOn mat Is lnadc IN tnt
Bible concerning the ceremonial anC
moral laws. The object of scriptur,
is to make plain Bible doctrine.
Tim. 3:lG.
our higher critics should under
stand the meaning of the scripture
lhal deal with moral and ceremonial
law and learn lo distinguish between
them before trying to explain them.
If they do moi, it will always result
ln muddlc.
In the discussion of the Sabbath
question Elder NuncS in a clear man
ncr showed from the Bible, from his
tory. and from some of the best
writer's ON religious truths that the
Sabbath has not been changed by
God, Jesus, nor he Apostles.
We again refer YOU 10 some Of the
statements of learned men from the
other side. There is nothing in the
example Of the apostles to obligc the
most tender conscience To abstain
from secular employment on the first
day Of the week." Wafflc'S Lords
Day. page 1G0 II must be confessed
that there is no law in the New
Testament concerning the first daN
Of the week" Bucks Thco. Dict.
ART Sabbath. 1T is true, there is no
positive command for infant baptism
nor is here any for keeping holy ne
first day of the week" VI. L. Thco-
logical Compendium, page 1903. We
could quote largely from DR.. L. T.
lliScoN and the Roman Catholics and
others but space will not permit.
TO say that ne Lord does not ask
obedience of us regarding the
seventh day Sabbath is very
wicked expression. BE careful how
YOU take from the Word of God No
man vcrScd in Biblical cNcgcSiS
would make such a statement.
We love our race. Ours is an am
bilion to see the honest Of all races
receive the all important truths for
today. Elder NuncS in his big Chau-
lauqua in our city simply instructed
the minds of the people and when
they saw the light they walked in it.
This every honest soul should do.
These meetings were not carried on
on the jumping jack order, but
rather from an intelligent standpoint
The meetings claimed the attention /,
Of the better classes. Both white and
Colorcd attended.
Not only is the Sabbath truth |
Taught by Seventh Day AdvcntiStS,
but all other doctrines Of the Word |
of God. Along with these is the |
practical life of the Christian day by |
day. The tobacco habit, tie whiSkcy |
habit, the adultry habit, worldlincSS
among profcSScd Christians, all these
are denounced ON the authority Of
the Word of God. The Lords people |
must be a separate people from the
other class. The condition Of the
world today demands of us who are
leaders to make plain to the people
the saving truth of the Word of
God. What the Lord reveals let us
not be afraid to teach the people.
We hope hat YOU have seen that
the ceremonial law with its types
and shadows its fcaStS and its yearly
SabbalhS which came once a year in
connection with the fcaStS, on an ap-
pointed month, is not the law Of God
which also has a rest day, which is
Gods holy SABBATH day, and it comes
10 us once a week. the last day Of the
week EN. 2O:S-l1 Luke 23:jG and
Jesus kept it. Luke i:lG

Among all rcgliouS pcrSuaSionS
there are honest men and women
who when they hear and see the
truths of the Word Of God. will step
out in obedience to the same. Ours
is not to condemn The Word of God
will do that.
The thinking class Of people are
interested in the great work that
Elder NuncS has begun. The Colorcd
people love him, because he loves
hcm, while holding to the side of the
Word Of God. Let us not be narrow
Dul be broad minded and investigate
he truths for today. May God help
Is to turn from the commandments
