NEPHEW HELD AS A
SPY IN CALIFORNIA
Baron Muensch and E. M. Zacho,
Alleged German Agent At
Stockholm, Indicted in S. F.
San Francisco, Aug. 27.-KU. P.) Two
alleged "master spies" of Germany were
under Indictment here today. One a
Baron Allardt von dem Bussche
Muensch, said to be a Nephew of Count
von Berhstprff. former German ambas
sador to the United States. The other,
Edward M. Zacho, Is said by department
of Justice agents to have been head of
Germany's spy system in Stockholm.
Indictments charge them with using
fraudulent passports and violating the
president's proclamation requiring the
registration of alien enemies.
With the return of the Indictments by
tha federal grand jury late yesterday It
became known that Baron Muensch has
been held In custody here at Fort Win
field Scott for nearly a year. Zacho
was arrested In New York and is held at
Ellis Island.
The solving of a "highly confidential"
German code is said to have been respon
sible for the downfall of Zacho and
Muensch. According to United States
department of justice agents, Muensch
was a prisoner in Russia. Zacho was
sent from Stockholm to Russia by way
of the United States more than a year
ago to effect the escape of the noble
man. They are known to have. stopped
In Peking, where their passports are said
to have been arranged by the German
ambassador, Von Hintze.
Muensch traveled n a Swedish pass
port as Kurt Brenner. Zacho used his
own name and Danish passport. They
started for America. Suspicions of two
of the crew of the vessel on which they
sailed led to a close Investigation on
their arrival here. Muensch or Brenner,
was held. One of his "highly confiden
tial" documents is said to have been
found in the lining of his overcoat.
Zacho, on the voyage across the Pacific,
had affected not to know "Brenner". He
got as far as New York before he was
apprehended. Another document was
found in his possession, which gave the
American operatives the key to what is
believed to be a "super code" direct from
Wilhelmstrasse.
Plans, and details of Chinese, Japan
ese and Russian fortifications and ar
mament are said to have been in their
possession.

CHANGE OF THE SABBATH .
NOT AUTHORIZED BY, BIBLE
EVANGELIST L. K. DICKSON READS FROM ROMAN CATHOLIC WORKS THEIR AC
KNOWLEDGEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY AS
SACRED DAY OF REST.
Also Produces Evidence
That Jesus Christ never changed the
observance of the Sabbath from the sev
enth day of the week to the first at his
resurrection, but that the change was
made by the Roman Catholic church
three hundred years after his resurrec
tion, was the declaration by Evangelist
L. K. Dickson in his lecture at the big
tent pavilion. Thirteenth and Morrison
streets, last flight on "Who Changed the
Sabbath?" and he substantiated his re
marks by producing statements from re
liable authorities in the Catholic church,
who acknowledged that they were re
sponsible for the change.
Mr. Dickson also read extensively from
Protestant commentators who declared
that there was no record In the New
Testament of any change having been
authorired either by Christ or His Apos
tles, and hat those who observed Satur
day as the Sabbath were following the
teachings of the Bible. He showed that
the Catholic church met the specifica
tions of the prophecy given in Daniel
7 :25 which in effect declares that a
power would arise that would think to
change the times and laws of God.
He appealed to his audience to cease
following in the footsteps of the life-long
enemy of the true church, and return to
the observance of the true Sabbath, the
day which Christ observed.
EvasgeUit L. X. DIeksoa
In Introducing his lecture, Evangelist
Dickson said :
"My text is found In Psalms 89:34:
"My covenant will I not break, nor alter
the thing that is gone out of my Hps.'
In our studies In the past we have found
that the Sabbath Is built upon a founda
tion that knows no decay and which can
not be changed or altered by the will of
men. for It was made by God In the be
ginning for men In every generation. As
we traced its history, we found that It
was not confined to Old Testament times
only but that Christ in his example and
precept taught his followers to keep the
seventh day of the week. The record
of apostolic times and of the days which
marked the founding of she early Chris
tian church we found to be made up of
Sabbath keeping with more than SO re
corded religious meetings held upon the
seventh day of the week, and not one
upon what we now call Sunday. The
onl record of a religious service on the
first day of the week we found to take
place upon what la known now as Sat
urday night. And In tracing carefully
down through the ages In more modern
times through our day into the new earth
we found the word of the prophet teach
ing that the Sabbath of the command
ment would be taught and practiced by
God's true followers, and that there
would be a great reformation calling
men back to this great Institution, prom
ising those who respond all the blessings
of the new earth.
'It Is sometimes asserted that Christ
changed the Sabbath .from the seventh
to the first day of the week at the time
of his resurrection, and that since that
time the first day has been observed in
memory of that event. If the first day
of the week (Sunday) Is observed as a
sacred day in memory of the resurrec
tion of Christ, it could not take the place
of, or be exchanged for, the seventh day
Sabbath ; for that was made the Sab
bath, 'the holy of the Lord.' In another
way, and 'for altogether other reasons,
"Who made the formal change in the
day of rest? ' We have found that God
did not; Christ did not; the apostles did
not. And when .we are making this
statement we are giving the consensus
of opinion of leaders In religious thought,
not only of our day, but in all the his
tory of the church, as the following Quo
tations will show :
"Xeaiider, the greatest church his
torian of later ths apostolic times, says :
The festival of Sunday, like all - other
festivals, was always only a human ordi
nance, and it was far from the intention
of the apostles to establish a divine com
mand In this respect, far from them and
from the early apostolic church to trans
fer the laws of the Sabbath to Sunday.'
Hist, of the Christian Religion and
Church, page 18S, Rise's Trans. '
"Buck's Theological Dictionary, a lead
ing Methodist work, page 40S, says:
Sabbath, in the Hebrew language, signi
fies rest, and Is the seventh day of the
week; a day appointed for religious du
ties and a total cessation from work. In
commemoration of God's resting oa the
seventh day and It must be confessed
that there Is no law In the New Testa
ment concerning the first day.

has returned from the Fremont. Ochoco

he has been inspecting Are organisa

plete, and methods of forest fire pre
vention and control quite satisfactory.
From Protestant Commentators That They Have
Them in Keeping First Day Holy.
In an editorial April 19. 1883, said: 'So
some have tried to build the observance
of Sunday upon apostolic command,
whereas the apostles gave no command
on the matter at all. . The
truth Is, as we appeal to the literal
writing of the Bible, the Sabbatarians
have the best of the argument.' Again,
'We hear less than we used to about
the apostolic origin of the present Sun
day observance, and for the reason that
while the Sabbath and Sabbath rest are
woven into the warp and woof of scrip
ture. It Is now seen, as it is admitted,
that we must go to later than apostolic
times for the establishment of Sunday
observance.' id. Jan., 1884.
"The Question Corner, the Christian
Union (Congregational), June 11. 1879,
says: "When, why, and by whom was
the day of rest changed from the seventh
to the first? fAnswer, the Sabbath was
changed from the seventh to the first
day of the week not by any positive
authority but by a gradual process.'
Dr. R. W. Dale Congregationalism fa
mous in all the churches as one of En
gland's foremost writers and scholars,
said : 'It is clear that however rigidly
we may spend Sunday, we are not keep
ing the Sabbath. The Sabbath was
founded on a specific, divine command.
We can plead no such command for the
observance of Sunday. Tnere is noi
single sentence in the New Testament to
..... .hot w incur anv penalty by
slolating the supposed sanctity of Sun
day. The Ten wmminomcmo,

would be willing to follow thfs principle

. i. .v.. immediate return to Sabbath
worship, the abolition of Sunday schools.'
i,itj i t iKtrni T. D.. author or
the Baptist Manual. In an address before
a Baptist ministers' meeting held in
New York city, and reporiea in mo
amlner. November 16, 189a. said : To me
it seems unaccountable that Jesus during
three years' intercourse with his dis
ciples, giving them instruction as to His
i.i i -nnKtjintlv coming In contact
with the'sabbatb question, often discuss-
i. nr itx aanects. freeing It
from its false glosses, and teaching its
true nature and purpose, never a""ded
to the transference of the day. Also that
during the forty days of His resurrected
life no such thing was Intimated. . . .
Of course I quite well know that Sunday
did come into early Christian history as
a religious day, as we learn from the
Christian fathers and other sources. But
what a pity that it comes branded with
the mark of paganism, snd christened
with the name of the sun-god, when
adopted and sanctified by the papal
apostacy and bequeathed as a sacred
legacy to Protestantism. There was and
Is a commandment to "keep holy the
Sabbath day," but that Sabbath was not
Sunday. It will, however, be readily
said, and with some show of triumph,
that the Sabbath was transferred from
the seventh to the first day of the week,
with all its duties, privileges, and sanc
tions. Earnestly desiring Information
on this subject, which I have studied for
many years, I ask, where can the record
of such ft transaction be found? Not in
the siaw Testament absolutely nSt.
There) si no Scriptural evidence of the
change of the Sabbath institution from
the seventh to the first day of the week.'
"Alexander Campbell (Christian). In a
lecture in Bethany college In 1848, said :
Was the first day set apart by publlo
authority In the apostolic age? No.
By whom was It set apart and when?
By Constantlne, who lived about the be
ginning of the fourth century.' In his
"Christian baptism," Vol. 1. p. 44. he says
'But some say It was changed from the
seventh to the first day. When? Where?
And by whom? No man can tell. NO;
It never was changed, nor could It be
unless creatiort was to be gone through
sgain ; for the reason assigned must be
changed before the observance In respect
to the reason can be changed. It Is old
wives' fables to talk of the change of
the Sabbath from the seventh to the
first day. If it be changed. It was that
august personage changed it who
changes times and laws ex-officio, I
think his name is Dr. Anti-Christ.' '
"Dr. Lyman Abbott, one of the best
known ministers in the United States,
when he was editor of the Christian
Union, said in an editorial in that paper
under date of June 26, 1890 : The cur
rent notion that Christ and his apostles
authoritatively substituted the first day
for the seventh, is absolutely without any
authority in the New Testament.'

the Lord's day (Sunday) is founded not
on any command of God, but on the
authority of the church.'
"Finding therefore the opinion of
scripture, and of the best Bible com
mentators recognized by all leading de
nominations agreeing that the change
has not taken place under an act of
God. It is left for the honest Inquirer
after truth to find the one who would
assume a position which would involve
a change in one of the great creative
acts of God (Gen. 2:2-1), a change In
the sign of sancUflcaUon (Exek. 12:17
and 20), a change In the example of

In the rule and standard of the deca
logue (Ex. 20; 8-11). It would take one
who has assumed a place above or equal
with God, and that one could only be
prompted In sueh a presumptlous and
blasphemous act by him who is spoken
of in Isaiah 14:12-14: 0 Lucifer, son
of the morning . . . thou has said in
thine heart. I w ill ascend Into heaven. I
will exalt my throne above the Stars of
God : I will sit also upon the mount of
the congregation. In the sides of the
north : I will ascend above the heights
of the clouds: I will be like the Most
High.' Only one Influenced by this arch
enemy of the government of heaven
would presume to tear from the heart of
God's law the great memorial of His
creative power.
"The apostle Paul tells us of such an
one in 2 Thess. 2 :3-4 : 'Let no man de
ceive you by any means: for that day
shall not come (the second coming of
Christ) except there come a falling away
first, and that man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition ; who opposeth and
exalteth himself above all that is called
God, or that Is worshiped ; so that he
as God sltteth In the temple of God.
Bhowing himself that he Is God.' The
prophet Daniel also foresaw the day of
this apostate powerUhat would think It
self able to change the law of .God. He
saw him make the attempt to d.O- It. He
heard this power speak great words
against God. He also saw It wearing
out the saints. This Is the power that
has actually attempted to change the
.unchangeable. In Daniel 7 :25. we read :
'And he shall speak great words against
the Most High, and shall wear out the
saints of the Most High, and think to
change times and laws ; and they shall
be given into his hands until a time
and times and the dividing of time.'
We read again of this self-centered,
self-glorified power In Daniel 8 :9-12, and
again in Revelation 13 :1-10. and In each
of these passages we are given the same
description of the character of the power.
Let it be carefully noted according to
Daniel 7 :25 that the one who has thought
to change the law of God is the same
one who has, spoken 'great words
against God. Christ never spoke words
against his father. The one who has
thought to change the Sabbath la the
same power that put the saints of the
Most High to death. Friends. Christ
never put his own disciples to death.
Then it was not He who thought to
change the Sabbath law.
"All Bible commentators agree thst
each of these passages speaking of this
blasphemous power presuming against
God refer to the same power and that
this power Is the papacy. That the papal
power Is the one spoken of, and that
in her history she has met the require
ments of this description given by the
prophets Is evidenced by the 'great
words' which she has spoken against
the Most High, a few examples of which
we will now quote :
" The Pope has power to change times,
to abrogate laws, and to dispense with
all things, even the precepts of Christ.
He can pronounce sentences and Judg
ments In contradiction to the right of
nations, to the law of God and man.'

"We read the following from the
Roman Catholic confession publicly pre
scribed and propounded to Protestants In
Hungary and Germany on their recep
tion Into communion with Rome : "We
confess that whatever new thing the
Pope ordains, whether it be In scripture
or not in scripture, and whatever he
commands. Is true, divine, and salvlflc ;
and therefore ought to be held by Lay
People in greater esteem than the pre
cepts of the living God. We confess
that the most holy pope ought to be
honored by all with divine honor, with
the greater genuflection due to Christ
Himself. . . . We confess that the
reading of holy scripture Is the origin
of heresy, and schism, and the source
of blasphemy. ... A priest of Rome
not only when he will but whenever he
will offers and creates Christ, and con
sumes him when created. . . . We
confess that the pope has power of
changing the scripture, and of adding to
it. and taking from it, according to his
will. . . . We confess that Mary, the
Blessed Virgin, Is worthy of greater
honor from men and angels, than Christ
Himself, the son of God.' This document

the law of God as changed by the pap

fourth commandment has also shared
the same fate, and Is numbered three In

"In a book, 'Plain Talk About the Prot

statement: 'It Is worth while to remem
ber that this observance of the Sabbath.
In which, after ail, the only Protestant
worship consists, not only has no foun
dation In the Bible, but is in flagrant con
tradiction to Its letter, which commands
rest on the Sabbath, which Is Saturday.
It was the Catholic Church, which, by
the authority of Jeaus Christ, has trans
ferred this rest to Sunday in remem
brance of the resurrection of our Lord.
Thus the observance of Sunday by the
Protestants is sn homage they pay. In
spte of themselves, to the authority of
the church.'
"By these statements from well-recognized
Catholic authorities we have the
confession of that power which the Bible
prophesied would strive to change the
times and laws of Ood. It is self-evident
that Protestants agree with these quota
tions Inasmuch as we have found from
the statements of leaders In Protestant
Ism from which we have already quoted,
that there Is no Bible authority for the
change, and that In their practice of Sun
day keeping, without Bible authority or
the example of Christ, they leave these
challenges of the papacy unanswered.
The noted church historian. Dr. Prynn, In
his dissertation on "The Lord's Day."
psge 1(3. locates the first commsnd of
the church regarding Sunday-keeping as
coming from 'the papal church,". In the
following words: The seventh day . .
was solemnised by Christ, the apostles
and primitive Christians till the Laodi
cean council did in a manner quite abol
ish the observance of It- The council
of Lsodicea (t4 A. D.) rirst settled the
observance of the Lord's Dsy and pro
hibited . . . the keeping of the Jew-
isn baooatn unaer an anathema.'
"The change from Sabbath-keeping te
Sunday-keeping - as not made suddenly,
but was s gradual process, which took -.place
because of the letting down of the .
bars of truth by the esrly church allow
Ing the superstitions snd practices of
paganism to enter. For many years the
church kept both days, the one as the
Sabbath, the other as a festival day of
the sun, and Constantlne the Great, in .
the year 821. A. D.. commanded the ob
servance of Sunday, which he called the
venerable day of the sun and not the
Lord's Day, under penalty of imprison
ment and confiscation of goods." But It
wss not until nearly four centuries of
the Christian era had passed that Sunday-keeping
became an article of faith in
the church. In the year 344 A. D. the
papal church passed this act. as we have
found in the Council of Laodicea. '
"Is It not high tune that Protestantism
retraced her steps, and ceased following
In the footsteps of her life-long enemy
In keeping this day established by the
papal church? Shall we not as true fol
lowers of Jesus Christ keep the Sabbath -
He kept, and walk In the doctrines given
by her founders, the apostles and by tha
word of God?"
