A Sunday Convention.
By Editor
Such a convention was recently held in Boston, attended by a large array of titled men. Messiah's Herald, in its notice of the meeting says:—
"While many excellent things were said about the observance of a day of weekly rest and worship, there was a manifest difference of views with respect to the divine law pertaining to the first day of the week."
This is not at all surprising, considering that no member of the Convention had ever seen "the divine law pertaining to the first day of the week." Why did not they call for the reading of the law, and thus come directly to a consideration of its terms, so that the "manifest difference of views" might be overcome by an understanding of the law itself?
But we will not tantalize the advocates of Sunday keeping with irony. They all know that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Therefore it is useless to look for unity of faith where the word of God is silent. In such case there is no faith; there is only opinion and conjecture. We are not only exhorted to be one in faith—come to the unity of the faith—but to draw nigh to God in "full assurance of faith." Remembering that faith has the word of God as its source, there can be no assurance of faith where the word of God does not speak. "Manifest difference." Yes, confusion must be the result of rejecting the commandment of God and clinging to tradition. The popularity of the tradition is not sufficient to prevent the confusion. Sunday keeping is an error, and the fruit of error follows in its track.
San Francisco and Oakland.
By Editor
Our meeting last Sabbath in "the city" was one of the best we have enjoyed for a long time. We spoke on the subject of "Unity," and its effects, and the necessity of it that our labors may be efficient. The social meeting following was marked by a degree of hopefulness, such as we have not seen in San Francisco in many months. We believe there are better times for that church if they will go forward and labor in faith, trusting where they cannot see.
In the afternoon one was baptized in Oakland. In this case the church was made to rejoice. Another candidate for baptism was received on Sunday evening.
Astrology Not Prophecy.
By Editor
A LETTER comes to this office saying that a man has been lecturing in a certain place on the third angel's message, using a chart prepared by a certain “Professor” to prove by the conjunction of planets that fearful times are coming on the earth.
We object to this mixing of things so dissimilar. If any wish to follow the astrologers and star-gazers, Isa. 47:12–14, they are welcome to; but they shall not put astrology on a par with the sure word of prophecy, especially in advocacy of the “present truth” without a protest from us. This is not treating the words of Revelation with that respect which they deserve.
