PASS IT ALONG.

Pass the following good words from the Watchman around among those thoughtless and reckless speakers and writers who charge Christ with Sabbath-breaking, and thus make him a sinner of whom the apostle affirms that he knew no sin. Copy them in your pocket scrap-book, and have them always ready to meet that wicked charge:—

“ ‘Christ,’ says a writer in the Andover Review, ‘broke the law of the Sabbath with impunity.’ It is painful to read such utterances. Our Lord distinctly denied that he broke the law, and vindicated himself by the authority of the Old Testament. He broke through the meshes of Pharisaic tradition, and even denounced those traditions as subversions of the law. Whoever asserts that Jesus broke the law, admits that the Sanhedrim justly condemned him. Christian writers ought to write concerning their Lord with more reverent thoughtfulness than to allow such slashing remarks.”
