as the
Revelation also teaches, xii: 17; xiv: 12; xxii: 14; then they are a
_perfect law_, and cannot fail in one point without risking our salvation.
Then the seventh-day Sabbath is included or the testimony of Jesus and his
Apostle would be false. Again, there is but one Sabbath that was ever
required to be kept, in the bible, and that is

_THE_ SABBATH.

Jesus kept _the_ Sabbath, and when he was giving them the signs of his
coming and the end of the world, he pointed them at least thirty-five
years after his death, to the very same Sabbath. On the 29th of June last,
you replied to J. Gifford's inquiries on this point, and perverted the
word, and called THE, _their Sabbath_. You also say, "The day before the
resurrection was the Jewish Sabbath, which Christ _kept_ in the tomb. When
that Sabbath ended, the law of types ended, and of course the _typical_
Sabbath ceased--a new dispensation commenced on the first day, which should
be observed in commemoration of the death of Christ, until he come." Now
look at your _zig-zag_ course. First, that the whole law with the
decalogue was nailed to the cross. But here, to get rid of this brother's
argument, about the Sabbath being kept the day before the resurrection,
and after the crucifixion, you stretch out the Sabbath in the fourth
commandment about twenty-seven hours, (as long as you wanted it,) and then
put it back with the other nine that died the day before. Here too, you
say, "ended the law types, and of course the typical Sabbath," and then
about twelve hours after a new dispensation commenced. Your argument looks
like this--the Jewish dispensation ended at the preaching of Christ. Oh no,
it was at his death--where the law of Moses, with the commandments of God,
were _all_ nailed to the cross. But stop again--the Sabbath did not end,
nor the types, until twenty-seven hours after; and finally--come to think
of it--the dispensation did not end until about twelve hours after that,
when Christ arose. Surely J. Turner, with all his mesmeric influence,
could not do much better. How much better to follow Paul in Col. ii: 14,
"blotting out the hand-writing of ordinances (the ceremonial law) and
nailing it to the cross" on Friday, the 14th day of the first month,
"FINISHED" at 3 o'clock, P. M.--John xix: 30; Mark xv: 33, 37. Again, you
say "the Jews were so tenacious about the strict observance of _their_
Sabbath, that they would have prevented the disciples fleeing on that day
