THE rsorrn OBSERVANCE or THE DAY.

The "Southern Ohurchman" of last week. in an arti
Gle reminding its readers of the approach Of this day
presented the following appropriate views which we
commend to the earnest consideration Of this commu-
nifty:
"If our people will, on this occasion, humble them
selves before God confess their sins and the sins of the
whole nation, humbly looking 10 God for mercy and
begging His assistance, may expect kind and mer-
ciful God win help wonderfully. But we must feel
our individual responsibility 10 this matter. Let
say God will regard the nation and not The nation
before God is only the total Of individuals and
each individual behaves so does God look upon u.s.
Let each individual, therefore, call upon Goo; each
humbling HIMSELF each oonftssng with deepest peni-
tenoe bis own sins. II this be DONE then may ex.
pect such blessing that have not now faith to
receive. But If this be not DONE We have no right
