Thoughts for Consideration.
By H. Barringer
[The following was received from H. Barringer with the accompanying note:— Bro. White:—With your permission I will suggest through the Review the following thoughts for consideration, and see what conclusions they will lead to.] 1. If the seventh day is still in force, is not the first also? and are not two days in the week therefore set apart for religious exercises by divine command and apostolic example? 2. If the seventh day was still in force after Pentecost, why was the first day only mentioned in the epistles as a day for congregational duties? 3. If the Lord's supper, and other congregational duties, were attended to on the seventh day, would Paul have chosen that day to reason with the Jews in the synagogues? 4. In the transition period between the full end of the Mosaic, and complete beginning of the Christian dispensation, were not both days observed or chosen more or less for religious exercises, preaching, &c.; and did not the first day, later in time, become the only day for congregational religious exercises? Yours in the gospel hope, H. BARRINGER.
