Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ATTICA, Sept. The committee on OBJ
seryanee of the Sabbath made the following re-
port, which was unanimously adopted.
1--WE heartily approve and reafirm the ac-
ton of our General Conference on this subject.
which is as follows We view, with grave APP
prehensions, the growing disregard throughout
the land for the Christian Sabbath, and the
evidently increasing laxity of conscience among
our people respecting the sacredness of the day.
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the
righteous dol A proper recognition of the
sanctity of the holy Sabbath is one Of the chief
corner stones in the foundation of the church
and of our Christian civilization. If this be re-
moved by the persistent efforts of those who
seek to destroy it, or lose, in any sense, its
sacred character through laxity of conscience
among Christians, everything held dear or
sacred in both church and state cannot but be
d1sastrously affected. Furthermore, we recog-
nize as an infraetion of both moral and civil law
the pursuit of ordinary business or labor on
the Sabbath day, and regard il destructive Of
the best interests of the individual, the home
and of society; therefore
Resolved, That we deplore the low state of moral
sentiment which permits, almost without rebuke,
certain elements Of the community to live in constant
violation of this wholesome law by keeping open ordi-
nary places of business, drinking saloons, running
railroad trains and engaging IN Sunday picnics.
That we regard all unnecessary travel on the Sab
bath, the buying and reading of Sunday papers and
all forms of pleasure-taking on that day as being in
violation of the divine injunction, Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy
THAT we will faithfully employ all lawful measures
to lead our people everywhere to a higher appreciation
ofthe Sabbath as the great law of God and conserva-
tor OF moral and civil government"
