vito v lStl CHANGED THE sABBATH9

1t is evident from the practice Of
the great majority Of the professed
christian world, that there has, been
a change in, the custom OF Sabbath
observance from the. seventh day TO
the first day of the week., and one
Of the two mighty Spirits operating IN
this world 3 is responsible =. for the
chaage--eithsr,. Christ, e. or Anu
If Christ changed the day, from the
seventh to the, frst-from Saturday
to Sunday, then it. is the duty OF ev-
ery follower. of Christ to, observe
Sunday, But, on the other hand, i
we find that AntiGhrist is RESPONSE
Bic for, the, change, it then becomes
the solemn duty Of every loyal CHRIS
tion to resent, the change, and pay
absolutely no regard whatever te
Sunday as a Christian institution, put
10 diligently and faithfully observe
the seventh day.. the Sabbath OF the
Lord. The Bible-and the blple on,
ly. must settle this important ana ia
vital question. Therefore we VIII
proceed to hear the testimony OF the
Word of God, which Jesus says Is
truth" John 17:1O. ..= >.5r.>-y
From Genesis 2:1-3 we learn .tha'
the Sabbath was instituted In the gar
den of Eden before sin came INTO
the world 500 years before tnere
was a Jew in eXistence.@ From EX-
odus 2O:S-11; Deut. fourth ana lltn
chapters, and other Scriptures we
learn that God spoke with HIS own
voice. and wrote with His own nm
ger "the seventh day is the Sabpatn
of the Lord" From Deut. 5:22, at
ter rehearsal of the Ten Commana-
ments. we learn that God added noun
ing to them; and from Psalm o9:9f4
we find that God will not alter the
thing that has gone out of HIS hps:
From Psalm 111:7-S we find that ALL
of Gods commandments are sure ana
"stand fast forever and ever we
turn next to Matthew 5:17-1S where
Christ plainly states that He did NOT
come to destroy the law, but to 1ul-
FIJI Ito fulfill a law means to keep
it-obey it. James 2:S) ; and ne says
further. verse 18, that until heaven
and earth pass one jot or title OF the
law shall not pass, until all Things
he ACCOMPLISHED. See also Luke 10:
~. Heaven and earth still exist,
hence the law in. every !ot ana u utie
sill exists. The seventh day-Sat-
urdav. is still the Sabbath of the
Lord thy God, and will be unto all
eternity Isaiah 66:22-23. We are
therefore forced to the conclusion
that AntiChrist is responsible for the
change in Sabbath observance, as the
Scriptures clearly show.

and then, demand obedience to the
law as changed, by it. Does the 81;
