No where in the Inspired Word have we any other weekly Sabbath appointed. No where has that Sabbath ever been _abrogated_ or _superseded_. No where in the Scriptures is any other day called the Sabbath-day. No where is any other day _required_ to be observed _as the Sabbath_. If, then, HE, the Almighty, gave the _seventh day_, and sanctified and hallowed it _as his Sabbath_, and has not abrogated it--has not absolved us from its duties, nor delegated authority to others to do so--it remains in as full force as when first instituted by Jehovah himself, and will stand in the Judgment against all the crafty inventions and futile subterfuges of perverse, rebellious man. The foregoing summary is a plain, unvarnished, unmutilated _scriptural account_ of God's rest-day, which HE enjoined on all mankind, for all ages, for all nations, tongues, and kindred. Some persons, nay, the great mass of the Christian world, have been taught, that the Sabbath alluded to is a "_Jewish Sabbath_," and "_has been done away_;" in proof of which position, they adduce the passages in Paul's Epistle to the Colossians--"Let no man, therefore, judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy-day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath-_days_, which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."[11] Col. 2:16, 17. "Who blotted out the hand-writing of ordinances, that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross." Col. 2:14. This, I must remark, proves _too much_; for if it has abrogated the seventh-day Sabbath, it has blotted out the sabbatic law also; unless it be shown, that _it_ is reserved, or that another has been re-enacted, clearly and expressly ordained. If so, let its advocates point to a single requirement, an unequivocal injunction, to observe any other day as the Sabbath, and it will terminate all controversy on the subject. The "hand-writing of ordinances," which was "nailed to the cross," was merely "the ceremonial law," the onerous burdens of the Levitical ritual, not the "moral law of commandments"--the Decalogue! If the opposite view be correct, then the Sabbath, or any "rest-day," is "against us," contrary to our nature and wants, and is not for our good, and ought to be annulled and obliterated forever. Then, also, we are driven to the doctrine of the "Friends," that all days are alike holy under the gospel dispensation. The advocates for the first day of the week can not consistently escape this dilemma. They must accept the Sabbath hallowed by the Lord, or hallow all days alike.
