Lords Day.

observe the rule laid down in the fol-
lowing resolution passed at great
labor convention not long since:
I'VE believe all men should have the
privilege of this day, that they may
spend 1t with their families, or as they
desire in rest or worship; and we ask
laboring men everywhere to avoid do
ing that which requires others TO laboc
on the Sabbath

was the Sabbath given for worship and
rest, but, also, that Christ most em-
phasized that true Sabbath keeping is
not, doing nothing, but doing good
day is given to wean us from selfish
ness. in order to which selfish pleasure
is to be given up no less than selfish
work. Isa., 5S:13-14.
