Sabbath Day, Sermon Topic

Utah, 1932

Willmonte D. Frazee delivered his third address, on "The Temple of God," last night at the America Legion chateau before a large, attentive audience. The fact that God is the creator of all things through His Son, was presented as a reason why the angel of Revelation 14:6,7 should be heeded. It says, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment is come, and worship Him that made heaven and earth . . ."

The memorial of creation was studied quite thoroughly and its relation to "God's eternal law," as Frazee calls it. The statement in the heart of the law declared the seventh day Sabbath to be the memorial of creation. The commandment says, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy; six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work . . . For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it."

Mr. Frazee reminded his audience that since time eternal the seventh day had been God's holy day, and that Saturday is the seventh day according to any calendar, dictionary, or encyclopedia. He referred again to the ark in the temple in heaven that contains the law of God as the standard of judgment.

The institution of the Sabbath in Eden was read from the record in Genesis 2:1-3, and in Mark 2:27-28 was found as follows: "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath; wherefore the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day."

The speaker invited his listeners to join him today to getting the blessing out of the day that God has put in it for man. He announced the services to be held in the chateau this morning, Sabbath school at nine-thirty and preaching service at eleven.

For tomorrow night was announced, "The United States in Prophecy." In the preliminary, the nurses will again demonstrate another simple home treatment, and Mr. Frazee will give a short talk on the prohibition issue, "Wet or Dry."
