This week in Adventist history, Samuel Mitchell becomes the first Adventist martyr to a Sunday law. Arrested in July 1878 for plowing in his field on a Sunday, Mitchell struggled with poor health. He could not endure the prison cell and became ill during his 30-day sentence.

The Adventist message is pretty simple: *The Sabbath vs Sunday*
@NoSundayLawComing Says:
In 1902, Ellen White said said God was "pleased" if Adventist held religious meetings and performed missionary work on Sundays. If God is pleased by such activity, then why do Baptists and Methodists receive the Mark of the Beast for holding religious meetings and doing missionary work on Sunday? If both SDAs and non-SDAs are holding religious meetings and doing missionary work on Sunday, how are authorities going to be able to determine who is breaking the National Sunday Law?

*_So where exactly do we find the Sunday law in the Bible?_*

Thank you. We could certainly use more topics on, and early founders of Adventist History.

The Sunday Law or was it a blue had absolutely nothing to do with Religion whatsoever. It was a social consious law to make sure the working classes could be guaranteed one day a week of work. Foolish SDA's in their brainwashed imaginations tried to convince people it was a religious law. He was the author of his own demise.

Amen
@thandemoyo485 Says:
I believe he did very well not to make a promise to do no work on Sunday. We're accountable for whatever comes out of our mouths, and to agree would be to acknowledge that Sunday is the Sabbath of the Lord. I salute his stand for the truth and his conscience.
