and learns from the sign, that Plain [ vile is located four miles in a certain direction, and thus the sign is of use
 to him. But let us ask, Of what use is 1t after he arrives a PlainNille Its usefulness has ceased for him.
 "The question now arises, if the Sabbath was given for a sign, to what did it point? Was it to some event in world history yet to come? The an swer may be learned by asking an other question. We admit that the observance Of the day was changed from the seventh to the first day of the week. When was it changed and why?
 Bible students will again admit that 1t was made after the coming of Christ, by the early Christian church. 1 The reason was that those early Christians knew that the sign of the Sabbath pointed to Christ. His com- 1 ing was the fulfllment of the Sab bath, the real thing Looking at him of what need for the sign. A day of ! holiness, of fufilment of Gods crea- ton. Then if we will disabuse our mind of the literal creation of God as being physical entity and instead | look at it as the creation of the per feet human, and can see in Christ this perfect human being, we will have better knowledge of what it was for God to rest from his labors.
 1 Early church preachers charged their flock not to Sabbatize after the manner of the Jews. Instead they celebrated another day, but this was not obligatory there was no divine command to keep the first day of the week. One of the apostles preached the exercise of private judgment or conscience as to how he should ob- serve the day. IL was Paul who said One man esteemeth one day above another, another every day alike, Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind Nothing was said about invoking law to regulate individual action. according to the particular ideas of some other individual.
 If one man regards the movies as good on Wednesday evenings, why should they not be equally good on Sundays? No scriptura injunction is broken in the matter either way, Have we no right to the exercise of a private conscience?
 FAIR PLAY"
