;t'The Sabbath was mado for man, not
SHthc man for tho Subbath!" said the Divine

1 moods it to rest his mind, which The worry
/ and caro- Of BUSINESS has more or less do
{ pressed. Ho needs its sacred time to medi
tate on his rotations to God, his fcllowmau,
and eternity; and to enable him to join with
his follows in acts of devotion to his Creator
g|and Presorver. lie needs it that he may
& have timo to cultivate that scIf-rospcct aud
those social eniearments which the busy
atcil of six days forbds.
" The Church also needs i; that she may OBJ
L servo the ordinances committed to her by
hor Divine Head, and 70 afford, her cppor-
tunity to teach those truths which are
\ essential to her existence, aud the Welfare Of
men both in tiu1o aud eternity.
s3 The State also needs it that her citizens
may learn their duties to ono another, their
obligations to society; and their duty fer
consoience's sake to obey the laws of the

s on our railroads and in our workshops needs
sit. to regain that soidity and strength
