Der 10, 1862, President Lincoln COM
manded that Sunday labor in the

its foundation upon law in mans

GAS day Of rest, L view the Sab
bath as day of compensation for the
inadequate restorative power of the

censure can attach to those men who
are compelled to labor for their daily
bread, than to owners and employers
who require the service to be per-
formed. u Durand, .Supt Little M
