Resoiued-1. That we are in favor of the observ-
ance of Su day as a Sabbath and day OF rest from
secular business. Our physical and mental natures
need such intermission of labor, and It'll is also
proper that an opportunity should thus be granted
for the people to worship God according to the die
| tates Of their own conscences.
9 That we believe it would be greatly for the in
terest Of city il all stores, shops, saloons and
other places OF business save those expressly eX
| cepted by the law would cose their doors on the
| Sabbath day-Sunday. We therefore call on those
| who have been accustomed to do business on that
day to agree voluntarily to close in accordance with
! law.
| 3. That wo regard the Act for the better observ
ance of the Sabbath as o good and just law, and
hence those who close their business in accordance
with should be protected in their interests by the
prosecution of those who violate the law.
| 4. That we call upon the City and District At
torney OF this city and county to publish notice
! as has been done in other communities, warning
business men that, unless they observe the Sunday
law, they will be prosecuted, and that they prose
cute such violations OF the law, as is their duty
