I answer, ' The Church of Questioner : " I have continually heard you con 'Rome also claims to be the one representative of Jesus demn the Church of Rome from your platform, and Christ on earth, but that does not make her so, and so I would like to ask you : Why is it that you super certainly Seventh Day Adventists will not acknowledge sede one of the commandments of God by a Roman it to be so! No! What really happened was this. innovation.. I refer to the sabbath <;lay. The Bible From earliest New Testament times, the Church had commands us to ' Remember the sabbath day to keep ceased to observe the old sabbath, and the day of their it holy.' Now nowhere in the Bible is this altered to worship was the Sunday. (Ample proof of this can be the first day. This was a change brought in by the found in the New Testament and the writings of the Roman Church in the days of increasing paganism, and Fathers.) When the Emperor Constantine came to the yet, you and countless other Protestants show your throne in the year 313, he favoured Christianity, and infatuation for Rome by putting her ordinance before proceeded to enact measures for its public acceptance. the command of God." Amongst these laws was the one quoted above, which Speaker : " Our friend savours most strongly of made the day that the Christians had always observed Seventh Day Adveritism. Like all other false sects as their day, the national sacred day of they claim that they alone have the truth, to the THE ROMAN EMPIRE. exclusion of all others. Now the sabbath question is the main plank in their platform, and with important As regards the old seventh day sabbath, we find from ~ looking statements from ancient laws, and extracts Leviticus xxiii. that it is included in the typical feasts from the writings of learned men, they deceive the of the Lord.

Seventh Day Adventists say that the keeping of the old sabbath is essential to salvation, of papal ongm, established to set aside the law of and that we who refuse it are lost. Then why was it God concerning the seventh day? I say definitely, no. The Seventh Day Adventists quote, as their main that when the apostles went out and preached, th ~y proof, the law of Constantine, passed in A. D. 321, never said a syllable to the people about this apparently important thing? The answer is that the gospel of the which says: ' Let all the judges and townspeople and apostles and the gospel of the Seventh Day Adventists the occupation of all trades rest on the venerable day are two different gospels, and for myself I prefer the of the sun,' etc. Further, they quote the words of the historian Eusebius : ' All things whatsoever it was the former." duty to do on the sabbath, these we have transferred Another questioner: " I would like to know where to the Lord's Day (Swnday).'

It is clear all through of these sects claims to be the true Church. How are the history of the Church, that periods of apathy and we to distinguish?

First, these men, with burning hearts, Christianity which are held by all the God-honoured' took the message to places where it had never been bodies of Protestantism. Also, it is a well-known fact, before, and glorious triumphs of the gospel over that these sects do not get their converts so much from heathenism followed.
