THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH, A PERPETUAL SIGN, FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE ENTERING INTO THE GATES OF THE HOLY CITY, ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT. BY JOSEPH BATES:
"Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning . The old commandment is the WORD which ye have heard from the beginning ." John ii: 7.

"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life and enter in," &c. Rev. xxii: 14.
