For the whole human family

"Here are two passages of Scripture which we commend to the careful attention of the reader:— 

(1.) “The Sabbath was made for man.” Mark2:27.

(2.) “God that MADE THE WORLD and all things therein . . . hath made of one blood all nations of men for TO DWELL ON ALL THE FACE OF THE EARTH.” Acts17:24-26.  

God, who made our world, made it of a globular form, and made man to dwell on all the face of it.

And that the creation of the world might be commemorated, He set apart the seventh day of the week, because He rested upon it from that work, to be observed by the human family as the Sabbath of the Lord. 

---And we have seen from a careful survey of the whole subject, that

wherever in the providence of God men are placed, the definite seventh day is to be found, and can be kept by those who are so minded. 

The observers of the first day of the week have attempted to show, in the things above examined, that the observance of a definite day in impossible, because the days of the week are indefinite and uncertain. The real intent of their action is to excuse themselves for not observing the day enjoined in the commandment."
