decision just to be dlffrrent there re many differ rnt opinions on sunday observance we are not dependent upon man s opinion mans ideas are changing continually the only sure found a i ion we have is the word of god we call this a christian country which is really not true our laws were founded upon the laws of god but amendment have been made front time to time from gods laws to man s idea the result it that many things are lawful today 4e cording to the jaws of our country that were wrung twenty five years ago god s laws have not changed god in hi word set aside the ttab bath day and hallowed it it was a holy day a day of rest a day for the solemn assembling of the lord s people the scripture over and over condemn work of any kind on the sabbath until humanity finds its way back
