No exact portion of absolute time can be simultaneously observed by men in different longitudes. The day in Berlin begins six hours before the day in New York, so that a whole quarter of what is Sunday in Berlin is still Saturday in New York. Crossing the 180th degree of longitude from West to East we gain a day, and a seventh-day Sabbatarian who circumnavigated the globe might thus return to his starting point observing the same Sabbath with his fellow Christians. A. S. Carman, in the Examiner, Jan. 4, 1894, asserts that Heb. 4:5-9 alludes to the change of day from the seventh to the first, in the references to “_a Sabbath rest_” that “_remaineth_,” and to “_another day_” taking the place of the original promised day of rest. Teaching of the Twelve Apostles: “On the Lord’s Day assemble ye together, and give thanks, and break bread.” The change from the seventh day to the first seems to have been due to the resurrection of Christ upon “_the first day of the week_” (_Mat. 28:1_), to his meeting with the disciples upon that day and upon the succeeding Sunday (_John 20:26_), and to the pouring out of the Spirit upon the Pentecostal Sunday seven weeks after (_Acts 2:1_—see Bap. Quar. Rev., 185:229-232). Thus by Christ’s own example and by apostolic sanction the first day became “_the Lord’s day_” (_Rev. 1:10_), on which believers met regularly each week with their Lord (_Acts 20:7_—“_the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread_”) and brought together their benevolent contributions (_1 Cor. 16:1, 2_—“_Now concerning the collection for the saints ... Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come_”). Eusebius, Com. on _Ps. 92_ (Migne, V:1191, C): “Wherefore those things [the Levitical regulations] having been already rejected, the Logos through the new Covenant transferred and changed the festival of the Sabbath to the rising of the sun ... the Lord’s day ... holy and spiritual Sabbaths.”
