ple's Union of America, In convention as
/ sembled, recognize the first day Of the
week as the Lords day, ana as the day
| set apart by the laws OF the land as the
day Of weekly rest from secular toll,
| therefore,
Resolved, that we will, by example
and influence, seek to promote a better OBJ
serYanee as the day Of rest and worship.
and to this end we VIII use all proper
means to secure the enforcement Of the
| Sunday laws, to discourage the publica-
ton and circulation of the Sunday news
paper. the running of Sunday excursions
and the opening Of places Of public amuse.
ment contrary to tho law, and
Resolved, further, that we extend ouI
hearty sympathy to the noble people OF
| Texas, who are now using all their pow
| ers 10 prevent the occurrence Of the pro-
posed Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight in the
| Lone Star state under the conviction that
| such a fight would tend to demoralize, not
Texas only. but the whole civilized world" "

| being "Adonlram Judson and the dawn Of
| American Baptist missions"
| Rev. A. G. Dixon, d. D., of Brooklyn N.
Y, was the last speaker of the evening.
| He delivered an address on Christ for the
| World, in which he said: THE tendency of
the times Is TO syndicate. Great commercial
syndicates are distressingly common. Let
us hope that God is not binding them IN
bundles to burn them. The latest attempt
of this kind, to syndicate all religions,
| Christianity among the rest, does not har-
monize with the spirit Of the Bible, which
| from the beginning to the end breathes
death 10 idolatry. A parliament of religions
may be a great success as an ecclesiastical
menagerie or a religious plaisance, or a
sort of pious show, but as a factor for the
! giving Of Christ TO the world, II was a
dismal failure"

| Milwaukee as the location of the SO con-
| vention, while Brooklyn, N. Y, was the
successful aspirant for the honor Of en-
tertaining the convention the following
year.
