OF God the Father may attend our work
in the future as in the past, we tender the

Christian Sabbath as a day oi rest, be-
lieving II to be the cornerstone of ma
tion, blessing to the commonwealth.

movement to observe the fourth Sabbath
of November as Temperance Day in all
tho Sabbath Schools.

than cure, and a. there are more children
in the public schools than the whole
number of individuals whom we can
certainly influence outside of them, that
we will work during the year before us
TO make a special effort to encourage the
teachers OF the schools 10 organize X.
O.V. or some branch ofiuvenile training,
feeling that the hope of the future lies in
the careful teaching and proper environ
ment of our children.
