    11. Page 52

    Beginning at the bottom of the page this statement is found: “While Christians continued to observe the Sunday as a joyous festival, he led them ... to make the Sabbath a fast.”WWPGC 7.8

    On page 53, it says: “But while Christians were gradually led to regard Sunday as possessing a degree of sacredness, they still held the true Sabbath as the holy of the Lord.”WWPGC 7.9

    It seems to me that in both cases the word “Christians” should be qualified by some word limiting its application. As they now stand, these expressions seem too broad.WWPGC 7.10

    The same suggestion applies to the use of the word “Christians”: on page 54, eighth line from the bottom.WWPGC 7.11
