EPLY TO 'MkEC E. ROBINSON
AND "A READER."
Mr. Editor: I thank the two gen
lemen who replied to my question,
ut would like to go a little further
n the subject. If the time Was
h banged at the birth of Christ, was
done by .Divine authority? If so,
lease give us the :text. If 'it was
ot, the text will be found in Daniel
:25: And he shall speak great words
gainst the mpst High, and shall wear
ut the saints of the most High, and
kink to change times and laws; and
hey shall be given unto his hand
ntil a time and times and the divid
ig of time.
If the Sabbath was nailed to the
ross, where do we get Sunday sacred
ess? and if tithing was done away
Pith, where have we a system for
he support of the ministry? If all
ras done away with, where do we
et religion?
I am looking for Jesus to come soon.
'ray, tell me, will it be safe to fol
>w the traditions of men or the com
iandments of God? L. W. Nations.
Generally Admitted Facts:
That the seventh day of the week
y cycle, the clay on which the Creator
ested, was set apart at the creation
f the world as the Sabbath of Je
ovah.
That it was enjoined in the deca
cgue, and kept by patriarchs, proph
ts, and the faithfully obedient, for
he first 1000 years of earth's his
ory;
That it has been kept by some
hristians from the first advent of
)hrist to the present time, as can be.
learly proved by history;
That, notwithstanding this, the
reat majority of proffessed Christians
ire observing with more or less de
otion and strictness the first clay of
he week, commonly ealled Sunday.
That it is not a settled question,
but is the most widely agitated re
ligious question in the world at the
present time, not only in religious
circles, but in municipal councils, in
courts of law, and in state and nation
al legislatures;
That these facts, and others which
might be mentioned, have led many
thousands of earnest-minded men and
women to examine anew the evidences
n which Sabbath observance and
Sunday observance are based.
Thn question is-Who changed the
Sabbath ?
If you will go to either the Ency
lopedia Americana, artic.le "Sabbath,"
r to the Encyclopedia Britanica,
dinth edition, article "Sunday," or
hamber's Encyclopedia, article "Sab
iath", you will find that the earliest
ecognition of the. observance of Sun
lay as a legal duty is a constitution
f Constantine the Great in A. D. 321.
Allow me to quote from The Cath
lie Mirror, Sept. 23, 1893:
"The Catholic Church changed the
ay from Saturday to Sunday. The

they were Georgia bound.

hlIIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
On Januar'y 10 the children andl
neighbo)(rs gatherred at the home of
Mrs. J. M. Arnold to celebrate her
61st birthday. At noon time a large
table was-apread with all kinds of
good things to eat. The childlren and
grandlchildlren are Mr. and Mrs. J. G.
Simmons, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. D.
Crane, Mr. and Mr's. Thomas Arnold,
Mr. and Mr's. L. E. Findley, all of
Pickens county, eleven grandechildren
and only one daughter at home, Miss
Eula Arnold. fn the evening when
we all parted it was sad tso think that -
probably we would all never meet
again on this earth, but I hope 'we
will all meet in heaven. D
true sense of the meaning of the
sac'rifices andl offerings of that day,
unl~derstCood that the blood of the
victims couldl not atone for their sins,
but simply their faith manifested in
the great provision God would make
ini the future."
"The Sabbath of the fourth com- 4
mandment cannot possibly be placed
in the same category with these
shadowvy "sabbath" days of the cere-.
mniiai law; for first of all, the Sab
bath (lay of Jehovah belongs to the
mora'jl law of Ten Commandments, an
oternal and unchangeable code."
