fSjicctal to Tun Chief.Your correspondent, upon Innminp

of a debate to be conducted b theabove named pnrtie, to commenceTuesday eveninp. Feb 22, liaicmd or-e-r

the snow-cln- d hill. to the MartinHcboolbouwe, 10 miles south-cu- t oftown, with pencil and paper in hand.Upon arriving upon the eccno of ac-

tion he found a goodly number gather-ed together at aii early hour, .nnxiotnto hear what could be paid on bothrides of thin question. After hingingand prayer the question was read byEld. Hon per. ai follows: "Resolvedthat the Scriptures teach the Sabbathof the-Fourt- Commandment is bind-ing upon Christians at the presenttime. Then Mr. Cudncy Tmade thopening flpeech. The elder read Mark2 : 27: ''The Sabbath was made forn:an, and not man for Sabbath."

Hie Elder paid: "While this textdoes not give us all the desired infonn-stht- n

concerning the Sabbath question,yet it doea make nome statements thatare very important in the consideration

f this subject Firat, it ways the Salnbth was made, hence wo are not leftto make a Subbath for ourselves. It

ho tolls uh for whom it was nuuk.Home people tell uh it sm made fortnc JewH only, but Christ says it wamade for man. In order to show thatit Was only intended for the Jew, itmust first be shown that none but theJews are men. As there words wereppoken by he Savior and written in the

cw Testament, we conclude the Sab-bath was made for the Christian manas well as the Jew man. Wr arc nextled to enquire, when, where and bywhom was the Sabbath made ? Underwhat ?ircu instances was it made, andwhat was it made out of? In answerto these question I will call attentionto thn following scriptures: John I; 3All thing; wero made by him, andwithout hirn was not anything, madethat was made. In order to under-Han- d

the antecedent of the pronoun'him.' in this text we will refer to thefirst and fourteenth verses of this chajv.tcr; wc here learn that it was God theSon who was afterwards made flesh,and is said to bo the only begotten of(he Father. Hence we conclude as theSabbath was made, and Christ madeeverything that was made, he musthave made the Sabbath. How did hemake it? By reading the tenth versewo learn that 'the world was made byhim,' so whon we read in Gen. 1:1, 'Inthe beginning God created the heav-ens and the earth' we understand thatthe work was done by God the Son, asdirected by the Father, and as ChriHtthe Son of God, did the Bix days of la-

tent wo ask ho rested the Seventhday. Evidently tho ono that did thework, and tho Scriptures already re-ferred to, as Heb. 1:1-- 4, S-- 10 and Col. 1:12-1- 7, dcclaro it was Christ. The sameoije that did the work and rested, hlex-so- d

tho seventhjday and sanctified it. Tosanctify is 'to set apart for a religioususe." W are now led to enquire whatconstitutes a thing, a Christian institu-tion ? Certainly anything institutedby Christ must be a Christian institu-tion. This we find to be tho case withthe Sabbath; Christ first rested not

was weary, but to set us anexample, next he blessed the day andet it apart for a religious use. The

peoplo were not furnished with a writ-ten law until after tho deliverance oftho Israelites from Egyption bondage.In tho third month after this the tencommandments were spoken from Mt.Sinai, and written on tables of stone.In tho bo-o- m of this law wo find acommandment regulating the observ-anc- e

of the Sabbath, which reads, 'Re-member the Sabbath (Rest) day tokeep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor,and do all thv work, but the seventhday is the Sabbath (Rest day) of thoLord thy God, in it thou shalt not doany worn, cic. rome ten us me sev-enth day is the 8abbath of tnc Jews.Tho Bible says nothing of the kind, itsays it is the Sabbath of the Lord. Wethen enquire how long does the sev-enth day remain the Sabbath, or r&tday of the Lord ? Answer, as long :nit remains a fact that tho Lord restedon that day. But it may bo asked, canwe not change tho Sabbath from the

jventh day to somo other day ? Letmo ask can you change your birthdayfrom the day you were born, to a dayupon which you were not born ? Ofcourse not; neither can we change therest day of the Lord from the day hedid rest to some other dav upon whichlie did not rest. It is his rest day. orSabbath day, that wo are commandedtc keep holy. Aotice, tho commanddoes not requiro us to make a day hoi v.The Lord mado the seventh day holyand now requires us to 'keep it holy,and not desecrato it by laboring uponit. Concerning tho ten commandmentlaw Christ says, 'Think not that I amcomo to destroy the law or the pro-phets; I am uot come to destroy, but tofulfil (establish,) for verily I say untoyou, till heaven and earth pass, (anevent that has not yet transpired,) onejot or tittle shall in no wise paw fromthe law, till all be fulfilled. Matt. 5,17-1- 8. The Apostle Paul in speakingof the same law says 'Do we then makethe law; through faith?' God forbid:Yea we establish the law: Rom. 3:31.The law is thus established, as a whole.hy both Christ and Paul. If it. is es-tablished as a whole it must bo established in all its parts. That portionthat says the seventh day i the Sab-bath as well as the other precepts.Thus we learn not only the that Christmade the Sabbath, but what he madeit out of. and that he endorses the Sab-bath command with the rest of the'law and give us to understan i that itis in force, and men are exoected toobey it as long as the heavens and .theearth remain.

rrusT krjoisdibElder Newcomb followed bv stating

teat there is nothing in which wehouldbeso much interested as to obev

the commandments of God.In answer to the affirmative he took

positkm that Christ existed only as theword until he was born in Bethlehemend did not exist as a personal being

p Co that time. Christ signifies an-enoint-

and the anointing of Christwas his baptkm; and prior to thatevent he was not the Christ. He thenought to show that the earth was cre-

ated in six indifTerrent periods of timeof which the animal is the sixth andthat the seventh; and that the sabbath

. ef Genesis J23 is not yet ended that theword "day" iudiflerrent, hence weWave had one continual Sabbath sincecreation and will have henceforth.He next took 'the position that thefirst four commandments were positivelooa), national and periodical and giv-

en only te the Jews. To sustain thisne read from a work contaiuing thesee testimony ofseveral authors on theobject, Bishop Butler Ac If a posi-- 1

dispensation to another, it must- - bedone by tho same signs and miraclesas was manifested at the giving of thelaw; but as there was no such displayof powers shown to introduce the lawin the christian dispensation, thereforewe have no law in the christian

what was given by the aponlesafter the day of neutocost, for all lawsewsential was given after pentecont.Then he stated that Christ or his apos-tles intensified all of the decalogue ex-cept the fourth commandment and asthe sabbath command is contained inthat and as the apostles did not saythat wo should keep it we are underno obligations whatever to keep it.The first two commandments, he saidwere intensified when spoken to SatanLuke 4:8 ulxo that the law has no pen-alty and a law without a penalty is ofno force and "You havo togo uown'tothe law in the side of the ark for apenalty to enforce the law in the ark."The ten commandments is called thelaw of Moses and has no mercy andkuows'iiothing but death. We want aa law of life to free us from tho law ofsin and death.

SECOND AFFIRMATIVEElder C. followed by first answering afew objections. First, Several asser-tions and no proof. The Question is,"kesolvcd That the scriptures teachthat sabbath of the fourth command-ment is binding upon all enristiaus atthe present time." Elder U still con-tendsth- at

Christ existed before the cre-ation alo that lie was a personal beingHeb 1:1-- 3 8-1- 0 Col. 1:12-1- 6. One ob-jection that tho earth was created insix, indifferent periods. Tliis he show-ed WHbunscriptural as in each accountof Gen 1 it reads, The evening and .themorning were the first day, itc." andthat the last four days were ruled bythe sun. Besides six indefiniteperiods aro equal to one indefinite per-to-d.

"This is the conclusion that ourbrother is driven to by having the lawabolished at the crosses." He says"The apostles did not command us tokc-?- p tho sabbath therefore we are notobliged to keep it." J'He forgets thenthat there would be a space of timefrom the crucifixion until pentecost,that thev had no sabbath nor law con-sequently no sin for sin Jis the trans-gresM- on

of the law 1st John 3-4- ; Koiu.1:15." We call for a text that saysthat the ten commandment in the lawof Moses. Wheref did chriat quote allthe three commandments. If he didnot quote the Sabbath to tho youngman in Matt. 19: 10-2- 2 we want toknow if he quoted tho 3rd, 2nd, or 1stcommandment to him ? Christ didnot to destroy the law as lie af-firms in Matt. 5:17 but to fulfill. Nowto insert the wordjdestroy as some ofour friends would JJhave it. it wouldread thus: Think not that Iam come to destroy the law but toapply tho law to destroy. Apply Jthisdefinition in other scriptures wherethe word "fulfill" is used and it willnot answer in overy case. The Saviortaught that as lonir as heaven andearth remained the law would be in fullforce Matt. 5:13 Again docs the sab-bath belong to the Jews? The textsays it was mado for man. For thelint man as well as for the last manand Christ was the lord of it. Ourbrother says that the Sabbath wasjusedin a general sense. But the 23rd and24 verses of Mark 2ud chapter forbidsthis as these verses have distinct refer-ences to the weekly Sabbath. TheNew Testament further asserts that theSabbath was past when the first daycame Mark I0.I-- 2. the holy womenthat followed their Savior, refused toeven perforin the labor of annoimmghim at his tomb, but kept tho Sabbathaccording to the commandment. Luke23:54-56- ; 21:1. This is certainly strangethat they rested because the command-ment said so when according to ourbrother it was done away at this tune.

SECOND REJOINDKKFor Christ, is the end of the law for

righteousness .to every one that believ-et- h

Rom. 10:4 Now if Christ is the endof the Law, where will.our Sabbatarianfriends jjet their Sabbath ? If Christhad not been without sin, the law-woul- d

have remained; but at Christhad no sin the Law is abolished. TheSabbath age was made for man thatis the age of man, and there has beennothing created since tlve first six days.The creation was finished with thecreation of man and there has beenone unbroken sabbath iroiu that timeuntil the present. Be it then claimedthat it is mete that we have ono sev-enth part of time, and that was givento the Jews as a weekly Sabbath. Idid not mean that the six periods areequal to one, but that there was six in-

definite periods of time at creation.Next he said that Christ intensified thefirst and second commandments in hisreply to the adversary in the tempta-tion Matt. 4U0 and such portions of thecommandments as were not thus inten-sified are not binding on christiansRom. 5:13 was offerred in support ofthere being sin where there is no Law.Moses wrote the Law in the book thatwas kept by the side of the ark. Andin this book were written the ten com-mandments. And that Law was abol-ished. Now as the decalogue is a partof that law, it was also abolished at thecross. Yet the last six command-ments are moral precepts, which relateto our duty to our fellow men, and cannot be abolished. Further the tencommandments are called the coven-ant, so when the first covenant wasdone away they were too. In Matt-- 1 9:17 the Savior quoted all ihe commandmenu necessary for him to keep. Yethe did not quote sabbath, thereto e weare not obliged to keep it. He thenshowed that the law was Kood andcould bo kept. Because Jesus kept itto show that it could be kept. IfChrist had broken it then he woulduot have any thing to oner for us, for
