O. The public mind in all the States is
awasng 10 the necessity Of observance Of
The Sabbath. The people Of Pennsylvania
are asking their Legislators to prohibit, by
law, all operations on the public works on
the Sabbath. This is right. Wetust i
will be followed throughout all the States.
Then will the Federal Government follow
the example, but not till then, Tor the same
public mind that influences State Legislators,
influences National Legislators, OF course,
BY the observance Of the Sabbath, we mean
its observance as taught by the Lord Of the
Sabbath IN his gospel
