A Proper Observance of the Sabbath
The recent agitation of the Sunday law in
Baltimore has called forth many opinions as
to the proper observance of that day. few
days ago newspaper representative asked Car
dinal Gibbons lin what manner should the
Sabbath be observedP' to which he responded: :
"Our Christian Sunday should not be con-
founded with the Jewish or even the Puritan
Sabbath. 1t prescribes the golden mean be-
tween rigid Sabbatarianism on the one hand
and lax indulgence on the other. My impress
sion is that if the present law is enforced in all
its rigor and all of its details there will be re-
vusion of public feeling and the pendulum
will oscillate from excessive rigor to excessive
laxity. should like to see such law enforced
as will contribute to public order and tran
guilty and prevent all unnecessary seryial
work or manual labor-a law that will throw
its protecting shield around the people in wor-
shipping God in their respective consecrated
temples"
"in what respect does the Christian Sabbath
differ from the Puritan ?" asked the reporter:
1T differs in this respect, that it is day OF
Joy and not of gloom. IT is day in which
we are exhorted to be cheerful without dissipa-
ton, grave and religious without sadness and
melancholy. We should remember that the
Sabbath was made for uan and not man for
the Sabbath, that it is a day consecrated. not
only to religion, but also to the relaxation OF
the mind and body. My idea of the Lord 8
day is expressed in these words of the Psalmist,
This is the day which the Lord made let us
be glad and rejoice therein.

which has Just been issued, shows that 90 pa
tients were being cared for November 30.
OF this number 40 were men and 40 women.
Ninety-one patients were discharged during
the year. ii as entirely cured.
Or. Edward N. Brush, medical superinten-
dent, in his report to the trustees makes men
ton of the fact that under the existing State
laws it is extremely difficult to secure the
proper care of the insane. He makes several
Recommendations regarding changes, and sums
up as follows:
'''It is evident that not only as the real
friends of the insane, but from selfish motives.
those upon whom the responsibility falls OF
receiving and OBTAINING the insane should
unite in securing such enactments as shall
make commitments to hospitals as easy as
possible, and yet fully within the bounds OF
constitutional requirements. Such laws would
be complete answer to charges of unjust de-
tention if faithfully observed, and sure de-
Tense against any suits which might arise by
reason of such charges"
Since the opening of the hospital 256 cases OF
acute insanity have been treated. OF this
number los were completely cured, proper
ton of Al per cent. This record is said to be
unsurpassed by any large hospital in the
country.
