CREATION AND THE SABBATH.

The Rev Mr Evans, Anglican missioner, at Carterton, was asked by letter a series of questions on the Creation and the Sabbath. His replies were marked by a scholarly and tolerant utterance on these matters. The missioner referred to the questions as “a big contract.” Briefly, the reply as to the Creation was that the “ days ” were the divisions of time into which the work of Creation was divided ; the “ rest ” of the Lord was the pause on the cessation of the work which God pronounced to be good. ‘ ‘ God made the world,” said the missioner, and He made it good. Then He handed over to a new system— Natural Law.” The questioner wanted to know how and in what way the Sabbath was established, and why ? The Missioner answered: “Ido not believe in the Sabbath —never have. I don’t call Sunday the Sabbath, because it leads to mistakes and misapprehensions, When Christ died the Sabbath came to an end, and with it the Jewish law and religion. We celebrate the Lord’s Day, the first day of the week; the Jews kept the seventh day as the Sabbath as a memorial of the completion of the work of Creation. We celebrate the Lord’s Day (the first day ot the week) in remembrance of the supplanting of the Old Dispensation by the New.”
