II. Paul MAS 4 pretty good Chris
tim in u MAY. of Cnur>c not good
like some of our modern Christians
who are 80 good that Jesus Christ
WOULD not know them if he met
them in the road. and here il what
ST. Paul says. "Onr man c>tcrmctii
one day above another. Another
cStccmcth every day alike. Let
every man be- fully persuaded in his
own mind. Let no man therefore
Judge YOU in meat or drink or in
respect Of 4 holy day or OF the new
moon or the Sabbath days: which
are Il shadow Of things to come. Ir
observe days. and months and times
and years. | am afraid of YOU lest
| have bestowed upon you labor in
vain.' And he had. st. Paul had
busted" with the "buncn." When
a fellow gets down until he believes
that he can fool the Great God of
this Universe with holy stones and
holy days and burnt meat and
"choscn people" he is just where
the Devil wants him and there is
mighty little hope for him. ST.
Cyril was a Sabbath breaker too.
He would have been fined 5000 and
costs in Huntington. Listen TO st.
Cyril: Jesus Christ hath redeem
cd thee. hcnccforth reject all OBJ
scrvance of Sabbaths." Martin Luth-
er was a right good Christian ac-
cording to the ProtcstantS, and here
is what Martin Luther said: "AS re-
CARDS the Sabbath or Sunday there
is no necessity for keeping it. ST.
Paul and the Apostle, after the
gospel began to be preached and
spread over the world clearly re-
lievcd the people from the observ-
ancc Of the Sabbath" And James
Cardinal Gibbons is generally re
gardcd as good Catholic authority
and here is what he says: Read
the Bible from Genesis to Rcvela-
tons and you will not find single
line authorizing the sanctification
of Sunday as Il Sabbath" And AL
exander Campbell the founder of
the Christian Church says, "Thcre
is no prcccpt or command in the
New Testament to compel by civil
law any man who is not a Christian
to pay regard to the Lords Day. 1t
is without authority of Christian
Religon." And Rev. James Free
man Clark says. "ScnolarS are now
generally agreed that the Sabbath
Obligation WAS not transferred by
Christ or his appoSllcs to the first
day; that there is not in the Chris
tian Scripture Il single command to
Keep the Sabbath in any form or
on amy day." And II. q. Wells SAWS
The observance of the Jewish
Sabbath. again transferred TO the
Mlthraic Sunday is an important
feature OF many Christian Cults:
but Jesus deliberately broke the
Sabbath and said il was made for
man and moi man for the Sabbath"
Mcfcancthon says. THE Scriptures
allow that the observance of the
Sabbath has now become void for
1t teaches that the Mosaic cercmnn-
les are not nccdful after the rcvcla-
lion Of the gospel. The observance
neither of the Sabbath nor of any
other day is necessary"
Erasmus said, 1T is meet. there
fore, that the Keeping of the Sab
bath day give place TO the commu-
nifty and profit Of man."
q Archbishop Crammcr said, 1.-THE
Jews were commanded to keep the
Sabbath day. but we Christians arc
not bound TO such commandments
of Moses laws"
Bishop Warburton said. 1.-The OBJ
Scrvance of the Sabbath is no more
Il natural duty than circumcision"
But these lid filters" have Scrip
turc for keeping holy the Sabbath
day. that is Jew Scripture. with its
hrptamcra! creation story and
lot OF other myths thai conflict with
every science and every religion.
If these hid filters" want TO gel
out of our Christian Religion and
he Jews why do they not gel them
Selves cirCtrnci>cd and have sacri-
