SPECIAL SERMONS
ON LAY MOVEMENT
Washington Ministers Join
in Appeal for Better
Sabbath Observance.

Simultaneous sermons will be preached
throughout America tomorrow In the in
terest Of better observance Of the Chris
tian Sabbath. Pastors IN Washing ton
viii preach a special sermon and others
will call attention to the movement so
widespread. and indorse the declaration
ana resolutions. which are as follows:
I'VE feel that the amount OF labor
caused by the rapid increase and de-
velopment of Sunday entertaining,
sports. amusements, and unnecessary
travelling, is tending TO impair seriously
the character Of Sunday as a day Of
rest and worship. and to remove from
large classes Of servants and subor-
dinates all possibility Of attending d.
vine service. or Of obtaining any reason
able rest and recreation on that day.
Relieving, as we do. that the great
principles which underlie the due OBJ
servauce Of Sunday, are public worship
and rest, we resolve 10 do all that We
can to discourage, as far as possible
such employments on Sunday as would
prevent either ourselves our servants
or others for whom we are responsible.
from being able TO carry out these prin-
ciples"
following
favor of the American Lay Movement.
