REASONS
FOR INTRODUCING THE SABBATH OF THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT TO THE CONSIDERATION OF THE CHRISTIAN PUBLIC.
To search for the knowledge of our duty, as subjects of the Divine Government, is of the highest importance to Christians and to all men. None of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself, but whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. It behooves us, therefore, to inquire, diligently and prayerfully, what God would have us to do, and how we may best glorify Him and save our generation? We should seek wisdom as silver, and search for it as for hid treasure; and we should labor after the knowledge, not only of some duties, but of every duty. Obey my voice, is the reiterated mandate of Jehovah. To give full proof of our friendship for Christ, we must do whatsoever he hath commanded us. Hence the importance of searching the Scriptures, and of carefully pondering the testimonies of God. All should pursue this course, and feel this responsibility; for every one of us shall give account of himself unto God. Hence the propriety and necessity, in many cases, of individuals dissenting from the views and decisions of collective bodies , and of minorities dissenting from majorities , and protesting against what they discover to be erroneous, unequal, and oppressive, in their resolves and measures—accompanying the same with a particular statement of their reasons. Such a course expresses a determination not to be partakers of other men's sins, and is often the means of leading to investigation and reform.
