ur prayers, both in our closet and at
meetings, for wisdom to guide us in giving the _present truth_ to the
little flock in this work, at this important crisis, has so directed that
I may have it in time to put into this Postscript, just as it is going to
press. [I could not see before why it was that the printer could not get
his promised help, in order to proceed faster with this work. I see it
now--it is all in God's own wise way. He was not willing, (as it now
appears to me,) that my work should come out to check or disturb you,
until you began to settle somewhere on this subject.] The proof then, I
transcribe from a letter received from Br. JAMES WHITE, dated Topsham, Me.
January 2d, 1848. Here it is:

"The plain, simple truth in regard to the holy Sabbath flows out
from the blessed bible in one clear, strait channel; while
erroneous views are fated to run crooked and devour themselves. I
think that those who are not fully settled as to what day of the
week is the seventh or Sabbath, would do well to refer to the
type, in Lev. xxii: 5-21. Here are three types which were

fruits of the resurrection, raised from the tomb the 16th of the
first month. [See 1st Cor. xv: 20.] Now if the resurrection day,
which was the first day of the week, was the 16th of the first
month, then it follows that the 14th of the first month when Jesus
was crucified, which was Friday, was the sixth day of the week;
Saturday, the seventh day or Sabbath, and Sunday, the first day of
the week.

"St. Paul preached that Christ would rise the third day, according
to the scriptures. He certainly could refer to no other scripture
but the type. Our Lord, while preaching the resurrection to the
two, on their way to Emmeas, began at Moses. So we are not on
forbidden ground when we go there also, to prove that he arose on
the third day.--See Luke xxiv: 27, 44-46. Jesus came not to break,
but to fulfill every jot and tittle of the law--therefore he arose
