Excerpt from Essays Upon the Origin, Perpetuity, Change, and Proper Observance, of the Sabbath But when did God institute the Holy Sabbath Those who are in the habit of reading and under standing the Scriptures according to the common rules of interpretation, will doubtless marvel that such a question should ever be asked. For can any thing, they will demand, be more explicit, than the passage just quoted? Surely there is no thing ambiguous, either in the words themselves, or in their connexion with the preceding narrative. The plain account is, that when God had finished the great work of creation, he rested from it on the very next, or seventh day and that then he blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it. Yes, we reply, this, according to common understanding, is just what the sacred penman asserts; nor do we believe that one man in a million, would think of putting any other construction upon the passage. Indeed, no one, so far as we know, ever denied this to be the most natural meaning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

You will not find, upon examination, that there is recorded a command, or recommendation for keeping Sunday instead of the seventh day. Neither the Jewish nor Gentile con verts were ever exhorted to observe it as such. Nor can we conceive it possible that such a change should have taken place and no traces of the change be found in the record, either of the precept by which it was effected, or the command by which it was enforced. The Apostles evidently understood that the Sabbath, instead of being transferred to another day, was abolished with the rest of the Mosaic institutions.

Excerpt from The Sabbath Institution: Traced and Defended in Its History and Changes Some regard the Sabbath as an Institution, as an appointment of God for-the religious improve ment Of the race - making a clear distinction be tween the appointment or Institution, and the time devoted to its Observance. Others regard the Sabbath as a particular day - as identical with a given day or measurement of time, and so they seem at least to contend for time-keeping rather than for an Institution proper. The latter keep the seventh day of the week, reckoning from the Jewish Sabbath, and after the manner of the Jews in beginning and ending their days with the ap pearance of the stars while the former appropri ate to the Institution the first day of the week, reckoning from the resurrection of Christ, and after the usual manner of mankind in the matter of beginning and ending the days.

Excerpt from An Argument for the Perpetuity of the Sabbath The following Argument in defence of the Sabbath was called forth by the discussions of the late Church, Ministry, and Sabbath Conven tion, so termed, in this city. A wish has been repeatedly expressed that it Should be written out for publication. This has been done - but amid a pressure of other duties which has subjected the author to frequent interruptions, much couse quent delay, and some serious disadvantages in its accomplishment. In writing it out, some trains of thought have been introduced which were not presented in the Convention, and some, 'which were then mereiy hinted at, have been carried out. The Argument differs from the ordinary discussions of the subject, in that its strength is mainly expended on two points, which.

Excerpt from The Sabbath for Man: A Study of the Origin, Obligation, History, Advantages and Present State of Sabbath Observance The Sabbath was made for man. - Jesus the Christ, Mark 2:27. After the whole world had been completed according to the perfect nature of the number Six, the Father hallowed the day following, the Seventh, praising it and calling it holy. For that day is the festival, not of one city or of one country, but of all the earth; a day which it is alone right to call the day of festival for all people, and the birthday of the world. - Philo, Creation of the World, chap. 30. This Fourth is not a commandment for one place, or one time, but for all places and times. - D. L. Moody, at San Francisco, Jan. 1st, 1881. Christianity has given us the Sabbath, the Jubilee of the whole world, whose light dawns welcome alike into the closet of the philosopher, into the garret of toil, and into prison cells, and everywhere suggests, even to the vile, the dignity of spiritual being. - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Address to Harvard Divinity School, 1838. The use of the Sabbath, as it began, will end only with the world itself. - Bishop Horsley, Sermons, p. 444. The Lord's-day is not the day of God only, it is the day of humanity. This is the true democratic festival - this day of God and man. And yet this is the day which certain friends of the people wish to deprive them of - false friends that cheat them with the name of Liberty, thinking only of their bodily needs, and not wisely even of those. - Pere Hyacinthe (M. Loyson), at Geneva Conference. The Sabbath stretches through all ages - affects all men in every period of time - distinguishes the true servants of God from the wicked, more than any other ordinance - upholds the visible profession of religion before the eyes of mankind - keeps up the face and aspect of Christianity in the world - is the most direct honor that a man can pay to the name and will of the ever-blessed God - and will never cease in its authority here till our Sabbaths on earth give place to that eternal Sabbath of which they are the pledge, the preparation. - Daniel Wilson, Late Bishop of Calcutta, Seven Sermons on the Lord's-day.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1841 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XV. TESTIMONY OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY. Early and authentic ecclesiastical history confirms the view now presented. It states, indeed, in terms, that the Sabbath was changed from the seventh to the first day of the week, by authority of Christ himself; and also that the mode of keeping the one was transferred, so far as the genius of Christianity and the nature of the case would allow, to the other. Thus Clement of Alexandria (A. D. 192) says, "A Christian, according to the command of the gospel, observes the Lord's day" So that its observance, instead of being an accident, or a relic of Judaism, or in any way anti-Christian, was "according to the command of the gospel." JHhanasius also, (A. D. 326, ) renouncing the authority of the seventh day Sabbath, says, (De Semente, Ed. Colon. Tom. L p. 1060, ) "The Lord himself hath changed the day of the Sabbath to Lord's day." The testimony of Eusebius is still more to the purpose. He was born about A. D. 270, and died about 340. Mosheim says, he was "a man of vast reading and erudition." Till about forty years of age, he lived in great intimacy with the martyr Pamphilus, a learned and devout man of Cesarea, and founder of an extensive library there, to which Eusebius had free access. Eusebius as all admit, was an impartial as well as learned historian. He searched more thoroughly into the customs and antiquities of the church, than any other man in the early ages, and at Cesarea and elsewhere had access to the best helps for acquiring correct information. He is, by way of eminence, the ancient historiau of the church. His testimony on the subject before us is contained in his commentary on the Psalms, printed in Montfaucon's Collectio Nova Patrum, and is as follows: -- In commenting on...
