Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 64: April 17, 1902 This matter of extra Sabbaths is not questionable, for Leviticus xxiii com mands them in plenty; besides the week of Sabbaths and the special day which gives a basis for the movable Sabbath, the first eighth, _ tenth and fifteenth days of the seventh month, as well as other days, were designated by the Lord to be Sabbaths. This brings us once more to the admitted end 'of controversy, that the Sabbath being the Lord's day of rest for His children, His was the privilege to designate when and how it should be observed. He required of ancient Israel more than one day in seven for a Sabbath, as He had the right to do; and this fact compels-the admission that the fourth com mandment is only a part of the Bible law regarding the Sabbath - that insistence on an arbitrary seventh-day division is such an imperfect rendering of the word of God as amounts to a violation Of His law, because it is dis obedience thereto.
