“_Question._—Have you any other way of proving that the church has power to institute festivals of precept? “_Answer._—Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her,—she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.”—_“__A Doctrinal Catechism,__”__ Rev. Stephen Keenan, page 174. Imprimatur, John Cardinal McCloskey, archbishop of New York._ “_Ques._—How prove you that the church hath power to command feasts and holy days? “_Ans._—By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of; and therefore they fondly contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same church. “_Ques._—How prove you that? “_Ans._—Because by keeping Sunday they acknowledge the church’s power to ordain feasts, and to command them under sin: and by not keeping the rest by her commanded, they deny again, in fact, the same power.”—_“__An Abridgment of the Christian Doctrine,__”__ composed in 1649, by Rev. Henry Tuberville, D. D., of the English College of Douay; New York, John Doyle, 1883, page 58._ “Is not every Christian obliged to sanctify Sunday, to abstain on that day from unnecessary servile work? Is not the observance of this law among the most prominent of our sacred duties? But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.”—_“__The Faith of Our Fathers,__”__ by James Cardinal Gibbons, Baltimore, John Murphy & Co., 1893, page 111._ All Roman Catholic writers agree in this teaching. See page 441. 6. Until what time were the saints, times, and laws of the Most High to be given into the hands of the little horn? “And they shall be given into his hand _until a time and times and the dividing of time_.” Dan. 7:25, last clause. 7. In what other prophecies is this same period mentioned? “And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for _a time, and times, and half a time_, from the face of the serpent.” Rev. 12:14. “And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue [margin, to make war] _forty and two months_.” Rev. 13:5. See also Rev. 11:2. “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there _a thousand two hundred and threescore days_.” Rev. 12:6. 8. In symbolic prophecy what length of time is represented by a day?
