Resolved, That as Americans and
Christians, interested in the welfare of
society and the permanent prosperity of
the country, and the stability of the gov
we notice with regret and
anxious solicitude, the growing tendency
of our people, of all classes and professions,
to turn the Sabbath day into day of rec
reation, amusement and money-getting.
Resolved, That our Sunday School or
CARNATIONS are urged to impress the
christian observance of the Sabbath day
upon the rising generation-that our cler-
gymen are requested to preach upon the
subject from their pulpits, and that our
public officers are called upon to enforce
'igidly and without regard to persons, the
State and municipal laws, which mark as
christian people, and which require the
observance of the Sabbath day as day of
est, for both man and beast, from the
ordinary labors and amllsements of life.
