J. N. A

By John Nevins Andrews

Mosheim.

A BROTHER in Vermont sends us an extract from Mosheim’s Church History concerning the observance of the first day of the week in the first century. He assigns two reasons for sending this extract,—first as a curiosity; second, because it has not been assigned a place in the work entitled Testimony of the Fathers of the first three centuries.

If our brother had examined the History of the Sabbath attentively, he would have found that this extract is given in full, and commented on, in the chapter entitled, “The first Witnesses for Sunday.” If he will take notice that Mosheim was a writer of the eighteenth century, he will see that it would be very improper to include Mosheim with the writers of the first three centuries.
