$50 far as my observation extends,
those who are, IN the habit of avoiding
worldly cares on the Sabbath are those
most remarkable for the perfect perfor-
nance of their duties during the week

81 have long been of the opinion that
it is to the interest Of the railroad and
steamboat companies to suspend opera
tons on the SABBATH, as it demoralizes the
men and makes them reckless, and so IS
the cause of MANY accidents. [ believe
railroad companies would be much more
prosperous if Sunday running was entire
~ suspended. | suppose there are en-
ployed on the railways of the United
States, on the Sabbath, thirty thousand
men, IS. RVth, Superintendent Of the
Richmond, FrettericksJmgh and Potomac
Railroad.
MANY years experience and observa-
ton more and more convince me as a rail-
road man that even In an economic point
of view there Is no more profitable rule
fer us to follow than remember the Sab
bath day and keep ii holy. Col Geo.

From experience know that laborers,
mechanics, managers, ETC., will do more
work and do it better, in six days than
in seven. Furt her, if we habitualiy ask
our men to break Gods law bya desecra
ton of the Sabbath, it will not be long
before they will break His law in other
respects, by defrauding, etc. y f. Far
len, Superintendent Of the Dubuque and
,Siiomo City Railroad.
TN nearly thirty years experience on
Western and Southern Railroads, [ have
never found it necessary to run
Sunday trains, except where connecting
or competing lines rendered it so. think
men perform more work in six days, rest
ing every seventh, than when they work
every day. also think men more reli-
able and trustworthy on roads where the
Sabbath is observed, than when the day
of rest is ignored e G. Barney,
Superintendent Salina, Rome and Dali
ton Railroad.
II do not believe the running of Sun
day trains is profitable to the company
and that it is positive violation of Di-
vine law, none can doubt. Hon A6ram
