Elicit, Esq.,:
Whereas the attention Of this Assoca-
tion has been called to the efforts OF the In
ternational Sabbath Association 10 secure
the better observance OF the Lords day by
all classes OF our citizens, and especially by
securing, 'by concert OF action among
owners. managers, employees, and patrons,
the reduction OF Sunday-runnng and work
by all lines OF travel and transportation
within the limits OF necessity and mercy"
and by securing the observance OF the Sab
bath by the general and local governments; !;
And whereas we regard the habitual and
open desecration OF the Lords day by in
dIyiduals, corporations, and civil authOri-
ties as one Of the worst and most danger
Ous evils OF the present time, and one that
seems to be increasing in extent and bold
ness;
And whereas there are phases of this
evil so widespread. doep-rooted, and pow
erful that they can only be met and
overcome by some system OF earnest, prac-
teal cooperation upon the part OF those
who love and value Gods holy day:
Therefore we earnestly commend this
movement to the attention OF our own peO-
pie and all good citizens, and urge them
TO to do all in their power to further its
progress. And we recommend hearty CO.
operation on the part OF our brethren OF
this State in any plans and measures pro-
posed IN their respective localities rs may
be suggested by the international Sabbath
Association for the accomplishment of the
great and important ends contemplated by
that organization.
