The command to keep
holy the seventh day is one of the ten commandments; you
believe that the other nine are still binding; who gave you
authority to tamper with the fourth? If you are consistent with
your own principles, if you really follow the Bible and the
Bible only, you ought to be able to produce some portion of the
New Testament in which this fourth commandment is expressly
altered."--_"Library of Christian Doctrine: Why Don't You Keep
the Holy Sabbath Day?" (Burns and Oates London), p. 3._
Every one who studies the question must recognize the fact that there is
no change authorized in Scripture. As Canon Eyton, of the Church of
England, says:
"There is no word, no hint, in the New Testament about
abstaining from work on Sunday.... Into the rest of Sunday no
divine law enters."--_"The Ten Commandments" (Truebner & Co.),
London._
Dr. Heylyn, of the Church of England, wrote:
"Take which you will, either the Fathers or the moderns, and we
shall find no Lord's day instituted by any apostolical mandate;
no Sabbath set on foot by them upon the first day of the
week.
