Sabbath and the above Wisconsin stat
ute are violated in this community
are, open restaurants, cutting lawns,
working in gardens. base ball playing.
eroquet playing, and probably also
liquor selling. The law, of course,
is general; it is not intended that GER
tain individuals or classes shall be ex-
empted from its operation. 1t is in
tended also for the best interests of
the whole people. and there can be no
question but what it is to their inter-
ests; the whole people are TO share in
its benefits, and not favored few to
the exclusion of all others. 1t is
right, then, that the whole people
should join in its observance; it is
wrong that a few should claim the
privilege of violating the Sabbath,
leave its maintenance to others, and
then ask TO share with them in the
advantages. No man can violate the
law of the Sabbath without taking adj
vantage Of or doing an injustice or an
injury to his neighbor. Society is not
made up of individuals, living in in
dependent isolation; society is unit.
and disorder in an individual mem
Der affects the whole social body.
When Lord Nelson was entering a
naval battle, he hoisted the signal,
England expects every man TO do
his duty" There ought to be hoist
ed in every community the perpetual
signal, Society expects every man to
DC hisduty.'' This appeal is made
the hope that every individual
community will consider his
.onsibility as a member of the so
cal body and decide that he will do
his duty and contribute his share to-
ward the well being of society, know
ing well that he becomes a sharer in
its prosperity and the higher the pros
perity the greater viii be his share.

AN APPEAL FOR SABBATH oRsERv-
ANCE

This appeal for Sabbath observance
is made by the Sabbath Association of
the City of Lancaster, and because it
believes that society, whether of the
community or of the nation, cannot
afford to ignore the Sabbath. Some
of the reasons for its observance may
be easily stated and clearly seen:
l. Mans need of day of rest.
The human constitution cannot very
well endure the constant strain of UNI
RENTING toll or business cares. 1t
welcomes the release and the relaxa-
ton which the Sabbath brings, that it
may have some waking hours without
feeling the weight OF life's response
bilities. 1t best subserves the inter-
ests of all to have one day rather than
none.
2. When the mind is unbent from
its daily tasks it may be reached by
the manifold moral influences which
the Sabbath brings, the influences OF
home, of books, and of religious ser
vices. The Importance of good NOR
ais in society is well understood; it
insures to every man safety in person
and property.
3. We may name as a special rea-
son why this community should OBJ
serve the Sabbath the state law
in regard to the day which Il as fol-
lows
Amy person who shall keep open
his shop, warehouse. or shall do any
manner Of labor, business or work,
except only works of necessity and
charity. or be present at any dancing
or public diversion. show or entertain
ment, or take part in any sport. game
or play, on the first day of the week,
shall be punished by fine not exceed
ing ten dollars. The limits of the day
are fixed at y o'clock midnight Satur-
day and II o'clock midnight Sunday.
Section 1896 Wis. Statutes.)
This law finds its reason in the his
tory of nations No nation has ever
been able to ignore the Sabbath and
escape unframed. 1t is a social law
as inviolable as any law Of nature.
We would just as well expect to put
ourselves in the lightning's path with
immunity as to violate the law Of the
Sabbath and receive no injury. Des-
troy the Sabbath and our civilization
will begin to decay But aside from
this fact, to violate the Sabbath while
this law exists, is to encourage law
1essness. If man finds that he can
violate one law with impunity. tie VIII
be encouraged to-yiolate another, un-
til he feels contempt for all law. Il
one man violates law, he also encour-
ages another, and the contagion
spreads.
