IS THE SEVENTH DAY SAB- -~ "BATH BINDING ,UPON - CHRISTIANS? | . ) ) P : . i ; " .~ Lane Says Yes! Walker Says No! ELDER LANE'S ARQUMENT. First I’l;o])o.\'l'[so7;.—"])o, the Seriptures teach ithat tlie Seventh day Sabbath ig to be observed by Christians througheut the Gaspel Dispengation ?. .ot (Continued from last weelk.)’ & And he said unto them, “This is: that which the Lord hath said; ToDOlrow is the rest ¢f the hu']y:day Sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will:bake to-day, and seeth that ye will seeth; and that which remaineth over, lay up for you to be kept until the morning.” And tﬁey laid it up till the morning as' Moses bade; and it did not “stink, neither was there any worm theréin._ - And Moses said, “Eat that to-day, for today is a Sabbath unto .the Lord; today ye shall' nog find it in the field.” “And it came to pass that there went out some of the pdople on the seventh day to. gather, and they found none. And the Lord said unto Moses, ‘How long refuse ye to keep my commandmegpts and my laws? ” ol

Several important points are introduced in this narrative. .Ist, God had alaw and commandments before the falling of the manna. 2nd, He proves them respecting said law. 38rd, The test fell directly on -the Sabbath.— When God said, “How long refuse ye to keep my commindments and my laws 97 it was the Sabbath they had violated. .4th,. No new vrecept respecting the Sabbath is here given. sth, The Sabbathis spoken of a4s an existing institution. 6th, That the reckoning of time by weeks was known and correctly kept. 7th, That there. was no act of instituting. the Sabbath, for God did not then make it his rest day, nor did he then bless and sanctify the 'day. Bth, The record shows that the seventh:day was already- the sanctified rest day of the Lord.: 9th, This record-does not give any reason why the, seveﬁth/day was the Sabbath; or why' that title was given to it. It teaches that the obligation to keep it holy existed at the time the manna fell. .

* When God spake the moral law from Mt. Sinai he placed in its very bosom a precept enforcing the Sabbath.- Thus we read: “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor’ and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.”—Ex. 20: :8-12. This commandment is very explicit. ' Ist, It introduces a/precept,—“Remember the Sabbath dayto keep it holy.” 2nd, An explanation of this precept—“ Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work.” 3rd, The reasons on which the -precept is based, embracing the orgin of the institution and the acts by which it was made, and enforcing all by the example: of the Creator himself—“for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh: day; wherefore the Lord- blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.” Thus we readily discover that t_lie commandment itself is based on the facts of - creation, at which time God gave theßabbath, . - . 2 i

Having traced the Sabbath of the Lord to the giving of the law upon Mt. Sinai, let us now trace the history of the Jewish feasts and annual Sabbaths. There were three of these feasts: The passover, the pentecost, and the feast of tabernacles ; each new moon, fve-the first; day of each monih

LIGONIER, NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1875.

The first day of unleavened bread; ond, The seventh day of that feast; srd, Fhe day of pentecost; 4th, The ‘first day of the seventh month; sth, The tenth day of that month; 6th, The fifteenth day of that month; 7th, The twenty-second day of the same. Tn ‘addition to all these, every seventh year was to be the-Sabbath of the land, and every fiftieth year the year of jubilee. These feasts are introduced in Lev. 23 and Ex.l2. These feasts and annual Sabbaths associated as they were with meats and dfinks Wwere a shadow of things to come, and when Christ came he abolished them. Thus we read, in Col. 2: 14-17: “Blotting out the hand writing of ordinances that was against us, which ywas contrary to us, and took it out of the W;a.y’, nailing it to the cross. ~ And having spoiled principalities and ‘power’s; he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. T.et no man theréforerjudge you in meat, or in »_drink, or in respect of an -holy day (properly rendered, feast day); or of the néw.moon,or of the Sabbath days; which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” - ol

' The clearest distinction between the annual Sabbaths and the seventh day —Sabbath—the Sabbath of the Lord—is recognized in the Scriptures. Ist, The Sabbath of the Lord was instituted at the close of the first week of time; while these were ordained in connection’ with the Jewish feasts. ond, The one was blessed.and® hallowed byGod; the oth%s never was blessed by Him. 3rd, When. the children of Israel came into the wilderness the Sabbath of the Tiord was an existing institution, but the annual Sabbaths then came into existence. 4th, The one was weekly, the others were annual. sth, The disti;ktioq between these festivals and the. Sabbaths of the Lord was carefully marked by God, ‘when he ordained the festivals and their associated Sabbaths. Thus we read, These arve’ the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall: proclaim to be holy convocations!. .. “Desides the Sabbaths of the Tuord.”—Lev. 23: 37, 88.

Tsaial presents these annual Sabbaths thius: “Bring no more vain oblétions; increase is an abemination unto me, the new moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is ini‘qixity,'even the golemn meeting. Your new Imnoons and your appoinfed feasts my soul hateth; -t‘néy are a trouble unto me; 1 am.weary to bear them.”—lsa. 1313, 14. T{e presénts the Sabbath of the Lord-~the seventh day Sabbath-—as follows: “If thou turn away thy foot from . the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable; and shall honor Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words; then shalt thou ;leligllt_ thyself in the Lord, and I will cause theetoride upon the high places of the earth and feed thee withh the heritage of Jacob thy father”--Isa. 882 18,1, 0 e '

- There are two laws introduced in the Bible. - One the moral law—the ten commandments—which God gave on Mt. Sinai, and wrote with .his own fingers on tables of stoi’ie{’f Thus we ‘read in Ex. 24: 12, “And the Lord said unto Moses: “ Come up to me into the mount, and bé there; and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach tﬁ.émﬁ.” The other law—the!law of Moses—which ‘regulated ‘éircumcisi(}il,; the priesthood, and the sacrificial offerings, is thus introduced by Luke: (Acts.ls: 5.) -“But there rose up certain of the “sect of the Pharisees which believed, | s':iyipg that it was needful fo circum--1 cise them, and command them to keep the law of Moses.” G

The plainest distinction is made between these two laws. Thus, one, the law of God was spoken by him; Deut. 3:12. The other by Moses, Deut. 1: 5, 6. One was written by God, Ex. 31: 18. The other by Moses in a bock, Deut. 31: 24. One was put into the ark, Deut. 10:5. The other into the side 'of the ark, Deut. 31: 26. - One was perfect, Psa. 19¢ 7. The other made nothing perfect, Heb.7:l9. One Christ came not to destroy, Matt. 5: 17. The other he abolished, Eph, 2: 1-5. . One was the law of liberty, Jas. 2:12.. The other was a yoke of bondage, Acts. 15: 24. One'is established

by faith, R0m.3:31. The other a mid* dle wall or partition between Jew and Gentile, Eph. 2: 15. One was spiritual, Rom. 7: 14, 'The other was carnal, Heb. 7: 16. ' One contained the. whole duty of man, Eccl. 12: 13, 14, The other only in meats and ‘drin}{s, Heb, 9: 10. R }

It is often claimed that the ten commandments are the first covenant, and that when that passed away the ten commandments were abrogqted. That such is not the case, is evident from many passages of scripture. A covenant, according %o Webster, is (1) a mutual agreement of two or more persons or parties, in writing under seal, to do or to refraim from some act or thing; a contract; stipulation. (2d.) A writing containing the terms of agreement between parties. The covenant which God made with the ‘children of Israel when he brought them out of the land of Egypt is recorded in Ex. 19: I—B, “In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. And Moses went . up unto God, and the Lord ecalled unto him out of the mountain, saying:— “Thus shalt thou say to the house of; Jacob, and tell the children of Israel, Ye havg seen what I did. unto the Egyptians and how I bear you on %meﬁigbmm“ myself. . Now, thereforo, if y 8 will ﬁéd’%ﬁ?ﬂ"f,”' '*%'a"é‘ &

all the earth is mine.’ And ye shall be

unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy mation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.” And Moses came and called for the elders of the people.and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded Him.— And all the people answered together and said:: ‘All that the Lord hath spoken we will do.” And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord” When God uttered his voice he spoke the ten commandments which they had agreed, or covenanted, to keep. Thus the agreement or covenant of Ex. 19 Wwas concerning the ten commandments. This is the covenant or:agreement of which J eremiah and, Paul declares shall pass away when the new one should be ‘established. The ten commandments are not a covenant in“the sense of an agreement, for they contain no agreement. The first, or old covenant, was not tlie law of God, but the contract between God and Israel concerning that law. The law of’God is a covenant only in a secondary sense, viz: it constituted the condition of that agreement or contract by which God became: « husband -to Israel. Tln Ex. 34: 28, we read that God wrote the words of the covenant; the ten commandments. What did He write on the tables of stone? Not the covenant, but the words of the cqvenant, . e., the words' (the ten commandments) concernirig which they had made an ag’reemen‘_t?,’ or covenant.. Again, in Ex. 24: 8, we read; “ Behold the blood of the _éow@— nant which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words,” 2. é., the ten commandments. Thus . the covenant was made concerning the ten commandments, -and, if so, the covenant is not the ten cormn‘zm.dment‘:s. Again, the covenant was faulty—Heb. 8: 7. Arve the ten commandments faulty ? Ifsd, wherein 2 Paul. in Roni. 0: 4, makes the plainest distinetion bétween the covenants and the ,law:—;— “Who are Israelites; to whom permilieth the adoption, and thé glory, and the covemants, and “the givingof the law, and the serviee of God, and t.h‘;e promises.” . Thus we may §afely dgcide that when the first covenant was abolished the ten con‘u*mnidments dig not pass away. : Lo

ELDER WALKERS ARGUMENE. ; (Continued{rom last week!) 1 Contrast, for a moment, the tea@liings of the new law with those of the fen commandments. The old 'l:lw‘says;ji «Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s property”; bub the new law knows nd ‘ such . limitations. It simply says, «“Ihou shalt not covet:” The old law says: “Thou shalt not kill”; but thé new says, “He that hateth his brothef is a murderer.” The old says, “Thod shalt not bear false witness ‘against thy neighbor; but the mew says, «Thon shalt rtot bear false witness”— against any one. No.such neighbor]f limitations in the new as in the old. Again, the old says, “Thou shalt not. commit adultery”; but the new declares, “Whosoever looketh. upon a woman and lusteth after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Tle.old says, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor,” and the new says, “Thou shalt love thine enemy.” I would'mmind the Elder thathe hasno precept in the ten éommnndme_nts forbidding drunkenness, and that under the old aman was "part\izil to his neigh-, bor as in the case of taking u,siujy;"()‘f the heathen and a pledge, and takiog neighe'r of his brother. Thc"fla.w, as to its moral principles, which are unchangeablé, is_established by the faith. of the gospel. (Romans 3: 81) Elder Walker, thén, read Galk 3: 4, and contrasted those verses with the 13th and 14th verses of the same chapter, and assumed that all in the new ‘that was in the old was put-in by the authority of Christ. This was illustrated by the fact that ceftain English laws have been put into our co'de;"—-no‘t,; Ly authority of England, but by the Continental Congress —because of their ‘peculiar adaptability to meet the wants of our Government. The speaker then read Matt. 28: 18; Heb.l:ll, 2; 1 Cor, 1: 80; Matt. 17: 5; Isa. 42: 4-6; Isa. 9:6; Micah 4: 2; 15a.49: S, and Isa. 51: 4. On Christ being:- given for a covenant and a law proceeding from. him, he read Ist Cor. 9: 19-23, under Jaw to Christ. -Genfiles were Without law, tead Rom. 2: 11-15, also Gal. 6: 2 He then read R0m.13: 8-10, and, Heb. 11: 89, 40, and claimed a better cove--nant established upon better promises, reading Col. 2: 16, and Hosea. 2: 11. ‘IIe then read Rom. 7: I to 7 inclusive.

: Thé speaker claimed that ILane’s cunion with law and Gospel was an adulteration.: Then, reading Heb. 10: 9, 10, claimed that the 7th day Sabbath was done away, if it,was in the first will, and if it was not, Elder Lane should not be trying to get it ’ there; also, that every passage quoted’ by his opponeng from the Scriptures to establish a 7th day Sabbath law Limited it expressly to the Jews; and further, that it would require just as express language to put it upon Gen- ‘ tiles, or Gentile Christians, as it did to place it upon the Jews, and that the Elder would never be able to find such a passage. The speaker further maintained that the very fact that circumeision was a national badge and ‘made a man-debtor to do the whole law, showea that it was confined tothe Jews. - ey — : Elder Lane assumed that God hever made a covenant with the Gentiles, and thereby took the,coyenant off of dentlle. . ol

The speaker inferred that Lane’s confusion arose from the fact that he failed to distinguish between law and principle. ~ Principles belong to the nature of things, and law was made to regulaté the exemplification of prin%*«rw%;g@%wgpg

the same, notwithstanding the.,fact that slavery has passed away, with all the laws pertaining thereto. He stated that the principle of hate was manifested in lying, quarreling, c_ursi'ng, fighting and defrauding, and that the principle of love ‘was manifested in every good act; love toward:!God, in every act of obedience under every dispensation, and challenged Mr. Lane to show that the requirements, to bring out and exemplify the principle, were the same under each dispensation. - : e

- Mr. Lane assumed that Eccl. 12: 13 showed that the man who kept the ten commandments did -his whole duty. Mr. Walker responded by saying: If sueh is the case, it follows that the! whole sacrificial system pertaining to sin, with tithing, was no part of man’s duty under the ancient dispensation, but a work of supererogation—a redundaney, o { Mr. Lzme'assum_ed that there, Were; two laws in the ancient.dispensation. One, and only one,- was written upon | 'stone by the finger of God, which was ‘ God’s law; the other was written in 'a book, which was Moses’ law.» In f response tb this, the speaker asserted that if Mr. Lane’s premises were. correct the union between the tenor of ‘the covenant (Ex. 34 27) and the covenant was destroyed, and wished that ‘gentleman.to state whether the cov‘enant was without the tenor, or the ‘tenor without the covenant. Next: ‘the speaker quoted 2d Chronicles 34: 14, 15, and the 30th verse of the same,: regarding the “Book of the Covenant.” Also Nehemiah 8: 1, 3 and §, and the ‘phrase, “The book of the:law of the Lord, given by Moses,” was commented on, and the Bible held up as that book, while Mr. Lane was challenged toproduce the tables of stone, or at least. tell the audience ‘where to find ‘vthem. The latter claimed that the ‘book contained a copy of the tables of | ‘ stone.. Mr, Walker cited Exodus 34: 28, and Deut. 4t 13, to. show that the covenant which Lane says was God’s law, and the only one written upon stones, was identical with Paul’s ministration of death, written and graven upon stones, “and which was done away.—lst Cor. 3d ch. _ : The speaker then read Heb. 9: 1, and asked his opponent, who had assumed that the first covenant was not!the written covenant eonditions but the people’s agreément to keep the conditions, if their agreement 2iva voce contained ordinances of divine service and a worldly sun(ittm,ry, to which'the lattér made no replyf The speak&r claimed a new and living way, and in proof read® Heb. 10: 19, 20, and John 14: 6. Reading Rom, 2: 13, he said this was/txl'uc under the ancient dispensation, but under the present a righteousness without, .. outside of the law, w;jts manifested. He' then called attention to Rom. 3: 21; Gal. 5 4, and Gal. 2: 21, with Rem. 4: 14, and Galid: 30and in his comments on the two covenants, again assumed that the one alluded to in the terrible ‘words, “cast out the bondwoman,” was from Sinai,’and that we were not children of that covenant, as plainly declai'ed in the 31st verse. i : The following fexts, having been cited by Elder Lane;, were thus:dis‘posed of by Elder Walker: Psalms--19: 7, as the context shows, speaks of the perfect law of the new covenant. "Again, says the speaker, a thing is perfect, when measured by any rule whatever, if it comes up to the rule (aécoxding to \\’elﬁster),gbut it is another thing to be perfect ‘as pertains to the conscience.—Heb..7: 18, 19, and Matt. 19: 20, 21. . James 2: 12, refers to alaw that makes free from the law of sin'and death spoken of in the Bth chapter of Romans and first verses; his (James’) law of liberty is his law that condemns, curses. Romans 7: 14, simply contemplates the unchangeable principles which laws are to regulate in their exemplification, and Rom. 3: [ 31, mefers to the same idea.

~ Elder Lane having proeeeded to the New Testament and produced the p:xssqgeé' touching the Savior's custom of entering into synagogues on the Sabbath days, and also Paul’s manner of preaching on Sabbath days, to prove that they kept the seventh day—particularly emphasizing the terms custom and manner,—Elder Walker met this argument by stating, Ist, that it was Elder Lane’s custom to go into syn:igogues, or church edifices,”on the first day, and that the historian could chronicl¢ more instances in which he (Lane) had done this for the sake of his. cause than are recorded 'of the Savior and his apostles regarding the seventh day. Secondly, Mr. Walker assumed that it was only a matter of custom (not law) coming into vogue with synagogue worship, and that it was Paulfs custom for the sake of the Gospel, and read from the 9th chapter of Ist Corinthians, to that effect. He then assumed that the Savior, who ‘was Lord of the Sabbath and had a perfect right to do what lie pleased on that day, did demonstrate the fact that he did not Sabbatize, by commandipg a man te bear abur/den on the Sabbath day. The speaker read John 5: 8-10, and contrasted it with Jeremiah 17: 21, 22. IHe then contrasted the Apostles enteri g in®o synagogues‘ with Ex. 16: 29, and Lev. 23: 3, and Ex. 25: 8. On Jeremiah 17: 21, 22, Elder Walker commented on the phrase “as I commmanded your fathers.” e TR e b

Elder Walker, to gratify Mr. Lane’s curiosity to see his “new lawlk” triumphantly displayed before his audi‘ence a copy of the New Testgment in ‘the original Greek, much to thé cha- \ grin of his opponent. The speaker, in contrasting the two laws, dwelt with a good denl of force and marked efcovenant—the beloved Christ, the life,

Is the First Day of the Week to ~ be Sacredly Observed by = " . Christians?

Elder Walker’s Argument in the Affirmative. = o Eld. Walker said: I do not affirm that we must sacredly observe the Ist day in virtue 6f the 4th command‘ment. Neither do I affirm that it is

t{qs“bé'sacr'edly obseryed by any but Christians, save as a political Sabbath, made such by our legislétdrs" who have seen fit in their leniency towards Sabbattarians to recognize Saturday, also, —a political Sabbath. - . ° ~ Neither do I affirm that it is to be observed b‘yé Christians as a Sabbath, save in a political sense. Neither do I affirm that it is to be observed as a sacred day, far all days, in the abstract, are alike. : S

My first argument, in support of the fact that Christians should sacredly observe the day, is based upon the fact that the great masses of the intelligent in the religious world, with the learned critics, have for centuries observed, sacredly, this day. And it is a fact that the'masses of the professors in the -religioué world dq sacrédly; observe this. day. kg 5

."The ‘question now arises: “How did this come to pass? low were they led astray ?” It willdevolve upon my friend to answer these questions. My second argument is based upon Ist Cor. 16: 1,2, 3, “upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store.” The original reads kata mian Sabbatoobn,’——etery Jirst day. Thus sacredly observing every first day. The original will admit of ‘by him' or ‘by itself” By him, i.e, at home; or, ‘by itself,’ e in the common treasury. If we render it ‘by him,’ 4. e, at home,-the- context will keep every one at home on the’ ﬁijst day of the week, and give ‘Paul a big task to visit each one. B

Here Elder Walker read Justin Martyr, page 65: “And on the day called Sunday all who live in cities or in/the country gather together into one place, and the memoirs of the apostles are read, or the.writings of the prophets, as long as time permit's-... Then the president instructs; thenall rise and pray; then bread and wine and water are brouglit; :and then “the president offers prayers and thanksgiving, and the peoplé assent,_sayi_;ig‘ Amen; and then there isa distribution to each, and a participation of that over which thanks have _béeil?_ given, and a portion sent:to the ab»s‘é'ntj by the Dedcons. And they, who are, well to do, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succors the orphans and widows, and those who,. through sickness or dny other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds, and the strangers sojourni g aniong us, and in a. word takes ca @ of all who are in need.” Such, Elddr Walker continued, was the u_n.de"--’; standing which a primitive Christian of the purest character, and a martyr, had of the, primitive collection, viz: that it was laid by in a common treasury, upon the first day of the week. 2. Paul ordered the churches of Gallatia* to do the same thing, viz: lay by instore upon every first day of the gveeli._' (See 16th chapter Ist verse of Ist Cor.) And, acting as an am_bassadox‘. of Christ, he said to them, “If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spi-r—;*} itual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write are the commandments of the Lord.”—lst Cor. 14" 37, So, here we have a law of Christ requiring us to sacredly observe every: first day of the week by laying by in, store as the Lord hath prospered us.

. My third argument is based upon Aets 20:7: #They came together upon the first day of the week - to break bread. This 'was the purpose for which they convened. Ifthey did not do it, it matters-not so far as this argument, is concerned. Such was plainly and unmistakably the object for which they met. . '~ . Justin Martyr, who was born A. D. 114, and was martyred in A. D. 165, says: “Sunday is the day on which we | 21l hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which,de, hayiAng wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ, our Savior, on the same day rose from the dead. For He was crucified on the day before that of Saturn (Saturday), and on the'day after. that of Saturn, which is Sunday, appeared io His apostles. He taught jthem these things which we have submitted to you also for your consideration.” So wé see it was the practice of the first christians to meet upon the first day of the week to brepk bread, ‘and assist the widows and orphans, jand all who were in need. Now this practice is embodied in precept and imperatively bound upon us. (See Phillippians,3: 17.) Argument fourth is based upon the phrase Lord’s-day. (See John, in Revelations, 1:10.) Kuriakos is an_adjective and qualiz fies day. The Lord’s day, or ‘Lordic day, Greenfield says, “pertains to the Lord, i. e, the Messiah, the Lord, (See. Ist Cor, 11: 20; Rev.l: 10.) Kuriakee heemera, the Lord’s day, and Kuriakee deipnon, the Lord’s ‘Supper. Baxter defines it in the same manner, adding that it belongs to the New Testament. Lidel and Scott do the same. Why this new:name? New. words are coined to meet some sensible want. What sensible want did ’h old Tes‘tament fail to meet upon the seventh day Sabbath? This want arose witha new institution.

e ‘1..3 "CROSS'FIMNQ‘ -gl .. The above are the main points of Elder Walker’s argument in support of the second proposition. He advanced many points in corroboration of his' general arguments, but our space does not permit of a more extended recital. ~ln the following we present the main points advanced by both disputants, during the four sessions of Monday,"; Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the past week., . - “Elder Lang asked for-a precept ‘making the first’ day of the week a saered day, and referred again to Genesis (God’s rest) and to the ten commandments. He said if Walker could prove that the Lord’s day was Sunday, 'he would yield the question; that dt was Walker’s duty to show that Sundayisasacredday. . /.70 - Tn reply to this, Walker said Elder Lane had been arguing a false issue, by arguing as: though the question was about a sacred day, while in reality the issue ‘was that Christians were. to ‘sacredly. observe ‘& day. . Quoting from Isaiah 1: 13 and 14, he assumed that ddys,in the abstract, were all alike, and when observed unsacredly were hateful to God, Alltime belongs to God. - Paul taught that every day ‘was alike in the abstract, and that ‘men were not to be judged upon the scoré of & holy day, or Sabbath days. Men and women had better concern themselves fabout" being holy themgelvhes - e

_ Elder Lane said that Walker had not-cited one passage or text showing an example establishing first day sacredness. | There is but-one instance ‘of the disciples holding a religious meeting upon the first ddy of the week. Jlf Walker will prove tliat the Lord’s day is the ‘first day of the week, I will give it up. Said he could admit, that the day belonged to Christ was a good translation without.losing anything. What law do I break when I fail to oliserve the first day of the week ? | If there is'law, let him ‘show it. © Clainied «fhe seventh day as the Lord’s day.. Holy daysare only feast “days. - Repudiatéd the authority of ‘the Fathers; and read from Dr. Adam Claik to ‘show that tliey could not be accepted 'as competent authority. Christ: said ' that heaven and earth ~should” pass away, but not one jot or tittle of theilaw should pass away till all was-falfMed, v o S

. Elder Walker retorted by saying that Mr.- Lane- still ‘argued a false issue with reference to d “sacred day,” instead of meeting the point that Christians ‘were to sacredly observe the day. Paulj wrote the commandments 1‘ of the Lord and ordered the churches of Gallatia and Corinth to lay by in l stove wvery first day for the benefit of ( the widow, and the orphan, and the stranger, so as to havemeans to make their liearts glad. = They met on the‘l first day of the week to break bread. Such was their purpose, the object of their meeting. Paul took up their examplie and bound it on us imperaHvely i D

. Elder Lane asserted, in reference to this matter, that the disciples were never in an’assembled capacity but onee, in a religious meetifg, upon the first day of the week. --~ .. : Elder Walker said Mr. Lane had a singular .way of getting along. One reést of God, and one rest only, was sufficient to establish the sanctity of the seventh: day; but now .one religious’ meetinig with its purpose or object, (to-break bread) taken up as an example and bound upon us in precept, is mot sufficient to show that Christians are to sacredly observe the first day of the week, éven when strengthened by such testimony as Justin W . Elder Lané, turning to his chart, said “there was nofling like an ordi‘r}a'ncé"thetg'; _that “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances which was against us,” had no connection, with the fencommands, !~ - . < 0 0

_Elder Walker met this. point by reading from Webstermpon the meaning of :th;e word ordinance, and referred to the ordinances ‘of incorporated towns and cities, saying that the peo_ple understood theword ordinance to “mean law, He proved from Leviticus _that Teast days were holy days, and that the seventh day itself was a feast ‘day. He then dwelt somewhat lengthily upon Lane’s twisting and turning in ‘regard to the eovenant and the tables of stone showing that, according to Tiane’s arguments, one time it was the ‘ceremonial’ law that was done away, then the sacrificial law, then the miy“istration, then the glory of Moses, &c., saying that as fast as authority was adduced to refute Lane's sophistries, the latter jumped into some other position in order to'cover his yagaries, “The saime dotible dealing wafindulged ‘in Dy way of dealinig with the'word Sabbath, - elaiming this'one time and - something else atianother. . The above is, as the reader must readily understand, but a brief out-line “of the more important points touched _upon by the disputants.. .~ ..
