TO CORRESPONDENTS.

O. O. asks: Is it in order for one who is keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, but is not a member of any S. D. A. church, and has never been baptized, to participate in the celebration of the ordinances? To which we reply, that if the person has not been baptized (circumstances not absolutely preventing), he is not keeping the “faith of Jesus,” and his first duty is baptism.

Wm. G. Smith: Matt. 28:1 is fully explained in a little tract published at this office, entitled “Sabbaton;” and the claim that the first day of the week is there called the Sabbath is utterly disproved. The first day of the week was the third day from Christ’s betrayal on the Thursday preceding.

W. H. Cottrell: Verses 41 and 46 of Matt. 25, which are the principal texts for comment in that portion of the chapter, are fully explained in the volume, “Man’s Nature and Destiny.”
