SundayObservance FromTheApostles

"Sabbath,"SouthPerth,writes:"Isit correctthattheRomanChurchinthe4th century,atLaodiceaproclaimedSundayas theSabbathday,whenoriginallyitwasheld byGod'scommandontheseventhday, namelySaturday?Whatrighthaveweto alterGod'sCommandment? Iamnota SeventhDayAdventistnorJewish,butI thinktheyarerightinkeepingtheseventh dayoftheweek."

R.:Iunderstandthata vociferousbodymentioned byyouabovewarnsProtestantsthat"thePope,whobearsthemarkofthebeast inRevelation,changedtheSabbath;"further,thatif theykeepSundaytheytoo willhavethe"markofthe beast"uponthem,andare thereforelost.

Anintenseanti-Romanist,the MinisterAmericanBaptist Dr.L.D.Bass,in hisbook"SeventhDayAdventismUnmasked,"says, onpage14:TheSeventh DayAdventists"knowthat tobrandathingRoman Catholicinoriginistomake itstinkinthenostrilsof manyearnestseekersafter truth."

Ihopethatthe"earnest seekersaftertruth"inWesternAustraliapossessmorejudiciousnostrilsthanthose whichseemtoprevailin thesouthernStatesof U.S.A.

Buttocometogripswith yourquestion.Thecharge isdoublyfalsebecause,first, theCatholicChurchdidnot makethechangeatLaodicea norinthe4thcenturyand, secondly-andlessimport- ant-thoughitmaysurprise youforitisnotgenerally recognised-Goddidnot commandtheJewstokeep Saturdayholy.

OldTestament

Forthesakeofhistorical continuity,letustakethe secondpartfirst,namely Goddidnotcommandthe JewstokeepSaturdayholy.

WheninExodus,chapter 20,Godsaid:"Remember theSabbath-day,tokeepit holy,"Hedidnotsay:Keep Saturdayholy. Sabbath ("Shabbath"inHebrew) meansrest,whileYomhaShabbathmeansdayof rest;notSaturday.Hence Sabbathdaymeansadayof rest,whetheritbethefirst orsecondorseventhday.

VirtueOfPenanceANecessity MeaningOfChristianCharity

T.S.,Perth,whomIaskedtoclarifyhisquestiononpenance, nowwritestosaythathisenquiryconcernednottheSacrament ofPenancewhichwesometimescallConfession)butthevirtue ofpenance.HestatesthatontwooccasionsinSt.Mary'sCathedralheheardthepreacherexhortthecongregationtodopenance but,headds,thepreacherdidnottellthepeoplewhattheyshould do.T.S.askswhatispenanceandhowisitdone.

R.:Thisisaverylargesubject.HenceIcanonly indicateafewgenerallines.

IgatherfromyourlongletterthatyouarenotaCatholic,butasaChristian,of whateverpersuasion,you willagreethatifGodisour Maker,ourMaster,our JudgeandourFather,His lawsandcommandments mustbeobeyed.

Nowsincethefallof Adamournature,whilenot corruptorbad,hasbeen weakened;wetendtofollow caprice,wetendtoindulge allsortsofinstinctsagainstreasonandagainstGod's law,andwesometimessin.

Penance,therefore,isthat virtueordispositionofmind andwillwhichpromptsu tosorrowforpastsinsbe causetheyhaveoffende God,andwhichalsoprompts ustocheckunrulynature wheninthepresentorthe futureitwantstokickover thetracesanddisobeyGod's laws.

Hencepenancelookstothe past-sorrowforsinsinthe past-anditlookstothe presentandfuturewhenit urgesself-restraint.

Again,whenitrainscats anddogssomemorningand youaretemptednottotake thathalf-milewalktothe bus,youresistthetempta-tion,yourestrainyourfiat impulse,youpracticepenanceandgetthoroughly soaked.Butagainyour motiveforpenanceandself-restraintisnaturaland secular.Itisyourpocket, itisthefearoflosingyour jobifyoufailtoturnup. Changethemotivetoa supernaturaloneandyou havetheChristianvirtueof penance.Youaretempted,forinstance,totalkabout your faultsneighbour'ssecret andyoucheckyour- selfbecauseitwouldoffend God;thatisChristian penance.

Oryouaresorryyouhave in Brown'sthepastspokenabout faults,notbecause Brownhascometohearof itandmaybeoffended,but becauseyouhaveoffended God,theFatherofBrown; thereagainyouhavethe Christianvirtueofpenance.

Inaword,therefore,itis sorrowforthepast,keepingoneselfincheckinthe presentandfuture;the motiveinbothbeingthede- siretoobserveGod'scommandments.

Hencepenanceisavirtue whichisnotanextra.It admitsofdegreesofcourse, butinsomedegreeitis essentialforeverymanifhe

istosavehissoulandget toheaven.YousimplycannotbeaChristian,youcannotkeepthecommandments ifyougivefreereintoevery baseandselfishimpulse.

Neithercanyouregain God'sfriendshipunlessyou repentofdeedsunfriendly to HenceHim,doneinthepast. thepreacheryou heardwasperfectlyright whenheexhortedhiscongregationtopenance.He was wordsmerelyre-echoingthe ofthegospel;"unless youdopenance,youshall alllikewiseperish."

InPractice

Theactualpracticeof penanceinthisfirst,essentialdegreewhichnoChristiancanescape,willvary frommantoman.Forone itwillpossiblybeavoiding thecompanyofsomeperson whomhelikesbutwhois anoccasionofsintohim. Foranotheritmaybecertainbooksorfilmswhichhe knowsbyexperiencearea dangertohisfaithormoral behaviour.Foranotherit maybecontrolofaprattling orsaltytongue.

Inaword,self-control in whichthethousandthings differentpeoplefind areobstaclestothemin keepingthelawofGodand,asIhavesaidearlier, sorrowforthehundredsof timesonehaspreviously failed.

Butinher the Churchdoesnotstopat essentialsorthebareminimum.Likeherfounder ChristWhosummedupHiswholewayoflifeinashort sentenceurgingustopen-ance:"Ifanymanwillcome afterMe,lethimdenyhimself,takeuphiscrossand followMe,"theChurchtoo urgesherchildrentobe moreandmoreChristlikeby riddingthemselvesofthings whichinthemselvesarenot sinful,andwhichdonoteven inclineonetosin,butwhich aresuperfluousconveniences,whichministerto one'scomfort,one'seaseor one'sego.

Thatiswhythesaints practisedheroicpenances; notjusttoavoidsinbutbecausetheyfellinlovewith Christand,wishingtobe morelikeHimintheirown lives, whichpractisedausterities wouldmakeour modernpamperedhedonist gaspwithamazement.

Yournextquestionrather astonishesme.Youwrite: "Iwouldliketoknowabout theSermonontheMount, whopreacheditandwhat itcontained.Ihavenever hearditreferredtoinyour Church."

WhentheCarthusiansreturnedtothemonasteryin 1940,inordertoconformto therulesoftheOrder,they askedthatvisitingthe monasterybeofficiallyforbidden.Asaresultagovernmentdecreewasissued notifyingthepublicthat parkingcarsnearthemonasterywasforbidden.But thislawhasnotbeenenforced.

Themonkshavejustsent aprotesttothelocalauthoritiesaskingthatthelawbe enforced.
