the doom pronounced in Revelation 22:18, 19. God knew what He wanted to say and said it, and He did not say the seventh day of the week. As. to “ one jot or tittle passing from the law until all be fulfilled,” these words did not refer merely to the decalogue but to the whole Mosaic law as the verses that 'follow (19-38) clearly prove, and if they applied to the Fourth Commandment they applied just as much to all the other re quirements of the Mosaic law, ceremonial as well as moral. But the law has already been fulfilled in the life and death of Jesus Christ and He has therefore become the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth (Rom. 10:4). For a full discussion of the subject we refer you to the book, “ Ought Christians to Keep the Sabbath,” paper covers 10c. Around yon cross the throng I see, Mockjpg the Sufferer’s groan; Yet still my voice it seems to be As if I mocked alone. ’Twas I that shed' the sacred blood.

The first day of the week was observed in the early Chris tian churches in the New Testament times (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2). Further still, while the "Jewish Sabbath” was and is the seventh day of the week, the Fourth Com mandment did not fix any special day of the week as the day to be observed. It says, “ Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” You will notice it does not say “the seventh day of the week,’’ that is added by man. It simply says the seventh day after the six days of labor, and those who add the words, “of the week,” are adding to what is written and are in danger of bringing upon themselves I SEE the crowd in Pilate’s hall, I mark their wrathful mien; Their shouts of “crucify” appal, With blasphemy between. And of that shouting multitude I feel that I am one; And in that din of voices rude I recognize my own. I see the scourges tear His back, I see the piercing crown; And of that'crowd who smite and mock I feel that I am one.
