(1)            That Protestants, who accept the Bible as the only rule of faith and religion, should by all means go back to the observance of the Sabbath.  The fact that they do not, but on the contrary observe the Sunday, stultifies them in the eyes of every thinking man. 

(2)            We Catholics do not accept the Bible as the only rule of faith.  Besides the Bible we have the living Church, the authority of the Church, as a rule to guide us.  We say, this Church, instituted by Christ, to teach and guide man through life, has the right to change the ceremonial laws of the Old Testament and hence, we accept her change of the Sabbath to the Sunday.  We frankly say, “Yes, the Church made this change, made this law, as she made many other laws; for instance, the Friday Abstinence, the unmarried priesthood, the laws concerning mixed marriages, the regulation of Catholic marriages, and a thousand other laws.” 

(3)            We also say that of all Protestants, the Seventh-day Adventists are the only group that reason correctly and are consistent with their teachings.  It is always somewhat laughable to see the Protestant Churches, in pulpil and legislature, demand the observance of Sunday, of which there is nothing in the Bible.
