I would not have jou think that I have grown tuddeoly egotistical and that I think I am right and you are wrorg la thit Sabbath qucHlon.

They make no mlstukon, and It 1 ills Word which 1 have asked you t j accept or reject. If tbore Is any doubt In your mind a to which Is the Seventh day of the week, get your calendar and tee how it Is arranged. Webnter't Unabridged Dictionary tayt Saturday It "the Sev enth day of the week; the day that fol low Friday and precede Sunday," Tbe tame authority sayi Sunday 1 "the first day of tho week; the Chris tian Sabbuth; a day consecrated to rest from secular employments, and to re llglout worship; the Lird'i Day." Thote are tbe definition of the two dty a given by Webster; now let ut compare them with the deSnttion furnished by God. God tayt tho Sab bath It "the teventh day," which you ahould remember "to keep it holy," "for in tlx dayt the Lord mudo heaven and earth, the tea and all that In tbcm it, and rested the Seventh day; whore for the Lord blcsncd the Sabbuth day and hullowcd It." God tayt nothing about having blessed any day other than the Seventh. To have done to would have robbed It of itt only dis tinctive character, and would have made it like any other day, or, t peaking more correctly, like tome other day, which would havecautcd confusion and nullified the very purpose of God. But Webster tayt that Sunday wai "conse crated," and he also tayt that to conse crate It "to make, or declare to be, sa cred." Now, God did not declare the Flrtt day of tbe week tacrcd, Ho did hallow tbe Seventh day, and Webttor tayi to hallow It "to make holy; to tet apart for holy or rcllglout use; to con tecratc; to treat at tacrcd; to rever ence." Then, if God hallowed Satur day, wboconaccratcd the First day of the week which l commonly called Sun day ? Turn to page 211) of "Two Repub lic!;" there you will learn who conse crated or set apart the pagan Sun-day and deilgnated It the Lord' Dhv, It wat Constantino, Emperor of Rome, and be made tho change "to please the blshopt of tbe Catholic church," Up until the day ttiat Constantino saw and realized that tho Christian re ligion wat growing in number, while the pagan worship was losing its devo tee, he wa a pagan, and worshipped Apollo; the sun god. At that time, however, he wa opposed In Kit scheme by Galerlus; and as Galerlut wat Ij fa vor with the pagan partol tb-j popula tion, Constantino, by force of political circumstance, wa forced to ally him telf with the Christian element. Drap er tay, "it wa the aim of Constants to make theology a branch of politic; it wa the hopo of every blthop In tbe empire to make politic! a branch of theology." Much more could be written to thow you the forco which cauted man to at-tempt-"to think"-to change God't law, but whatever else I would take from profane history would but prove that the world of today wa doing just what Paul cautioned It against It Is following, accepting, the tradition of men, Instead of tho sound, irrevocable law of God. It might, 'perhaps, beagocd thing to allow you to read the idea entertained by the Church of Rome about the ob servance of Sunday as the Lord' Sab- l.v!
