Excerpt from Sunday Our Sabbath, Proved From Scripture and History to Be God’s Rest Day, and II. Showing What Is Meant by the Command, “Remember the Sabbath Day to Keep It Holy”: A Lecture

God’s work. This first mention of the Sabbath is in connection with the completion of creation’s work by the introduction Of man on earth, and his first day was to be spent in adoring and worshipping his Maker. It makes no difference to this question of the origination of the Sabbath, whether the days were geological epochs or natural days of duration. It is the rest of the Creator that is symbolized and the work of creation that is commemorated, and not the manner or duration of the work. So, then, the ap pointment of the Sabbath as the seventh part of time is coeval with man in Eden. There is noroom left in this statement for the exercise of fancy or speen lation, but the Operation of sober judgment and cor rect exegesis.
