History of the Sabbath and First Day of the Week - John N. Andrews

spoken in behalf of Sunday! In giving a list of
eminent men who have asserted the change of the
Sabbath, or who have called Sunday the Sabbath,
and have taught that it should be observed as a day
of sacred rest, he brings in Columba thus:--
"The testimony of Columba is specially
interesting, as it expresses the feelings of the heart
at a moment which tests the sincerity of faith, and
the value of a creed:
'This day,' he said to his servant, 'in the sacred
volume is called the Sabbath, that is, rest; and will
indeed be a Sabbath to me, for it is to me the last
day of this toilsome life, the day on which I am to
rest (sabbatize), after all my labors and troubles,
for on this coming sacred night of the Lord
(Dominica nocte), at the midnight hour, I shall, as
the Scriptures speak, go the way of my fathers.'
"[11]
But this day which Columba said "will indeed
be a Sabbath to me" was not Sunday but Saturday.
