The Seventh-day Adventists, a numerically small sect of Christians, hold to the cardinal principle of setting apart Saturday for the exclusive worship of God, in conformity with the positive command of God Himself, repeatedly reiterated in the sacred books of the Old and New Testaments. This practice, literally obeyed by the children of Israel for thousands of years and endorsed by the teaching and practice of the Son of God whilst on earth, is derived from the Old Testament and confirmed by the New Testament through the life and practice of the Redeemer and His apostles for nearly a century of the Christian era. Both Israelites and Adventists appeal to the Bible for the divine command, persistently obliging the strict observance of Saturday as the day for worship. The Adventists find that the Bible, their teacher, is consistent in both parts, showing that the Redeemer, during His mortal life, never kept any other day than Saturday, with no vestige of an act canceling this arrangement found in the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles, or the Apocalypse.
