Excerpt from The Presbytery of Ohio on the Claims of the Christian Sabbath: A Report Read and Adopted April 21, 1836, at a Meeting of the Presbytery, Held at Raccoon ChurchThe question of the perpetual obligation of the Sabbath, we take to be set tied. It is not necessary now to discuss the grounds on which its authority remains, and will continue to remain till the end of time, sure and'firm as it Was in the beginning. The institution was ordained before the Fall, the rea~ sons of it are always the same, '¿owing out of the very constitution of man, and its sanctions are written in' the providence of God, and interwoven with the order he has fixed in nature, as well as published in the Bible. It stands, accordingly, a Constituent part of the all perfect Law, which was given at Sinai for all nations, and for all ages. The ceremonial appendages which were thrown around it under the Jewish dispensation, have indeed fallen away' through the liberty of the gospel, but neither Christ, nor his apostles, nor the' spirit of the new economy he came to reveal, have altered the law of the Sab bath itself. That still holds its place in the decalogue, sacred and full of meaning as its other statutes, and without it the arch would not be complete, on which the entire structure of religion is now made to rest, in the unchange able rights of God on the one hand, and the no less unchangeable dutiesof men on the other.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
