SABBATH OBSERVANCE.

At the regular meeting for prayer SER
vice at the Presbyterian Church the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted
sin view of the vitai--relation existing
between the Sabbath observance and the
best morals and spiritual life and in view
of the growing tendency toward sabbath
dissertation in our city, thus tending to
undermine morality and lower the tone
of Christian living, and in view of the
effort recently made by the authorities of
our city to enforce existing laws, and in
view of the opposition this action has
aroused in the enemies of the Sabbath
who seek by ridicule and threats to deter
the.officers from doing their duty be it
resolved:
First. That we most heartily approve
of the efforts of the mayor and chief of
police to enforce existing laws against
Sabbath desecra ton.
Secondly. That we pledge ourselves
to use our influence to secure in every
Legitimate way the better observance of
the Sabbath day"

Editorial.

BY special request DIR. j. l.. White con.
Quoted the services at the Baptist tent
yesterday morning, although he had
expected to conclude the night before.
He read. from Phil. ..4:1.9, and spoke in
part AS follows:
"This is the message I'll leave with
you this morning, Joy in the Lords
There can be but two reasons why your
prayers are not answered. You have
asked for those things which are not best
for you, or Heis withholding it until the
time when it will be best for you to get
it. Don't stop praying. Let your prayer
be for Christ's sake. God will never deny
prayer which is offered for Christ,s
sake.n

very tender. Old men and women Just

A large crowd assembled at the tent by

Passing down the streets OF Canton az
night, my attention was called TO num-
beers of blind girls from IA to 10 years
of age dressed in brilliant outer gar

their hair ornamented with flowers. "A
woman, carrying musical instrument
led several of these girls, and nave
since learned that they were owned by
this mistress, who conducted them, by
night. to the lowest parts OF the CITY,
and by their playing, singing, ana III
most disreputable ways, she secures an
income through them that enables her
TO live in ease and comfort. l have met
no class of persons that seemed SO pitt
able as these blind singing girls. IL is

girl is blind, her life is one OF ceaseiess
neglect and cruelty, and often, II tine
