Ye observe days and months, and times and years.
I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain.Gal.iv.10, 11.
And still more clearly in Colossians ii.
16, 17.

"But although the Sabbath is _now revoked_, and the consciences of men are free from it, it is nevertheless good and necessary that _some_ particular day of the week be observed, in order that the word of God may be dispensed on it, may be heard and learned; for not every one can attend to it every day. Moreover, nature demands that both man and beast rest one day in the week, and abstain from labor.
