The Sabbath Puzzle
I have come across the following little poser in an old book. I wonder how many readers will see the author's intended solution to the riddle.
Christians the week's first day for Sabbath hold; The Jews the seventh, as they did of old; The Turks the sixth, as we have oft been told. How can these three, in the same place and day, Have each his own true Sabbath? tell, I pray.
