les under foot this day of the Lord. And
we demand of our Legislature the re-
storation of legal Sabbath.

traffic is of such fearful enormity that
every effort should be put forth every
where for its destruction, and we will
faithfully do our part in the Sabbath
schools as well as elsewhere to this end.
Resolved, That systematic instruction
should be given in both weekday and
Sabbath schools and we will cheerfully
assist the members of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union in their
earnest labors in the Sabbath schools for
God and home and native land.
Resotved, That the Bible is the com
mon law of the land, and should be re-
stored to the public schools where it
should be regularly read.
