concluded as follows: a private car
riage, in which is the owner or his
family, driven by one who is employ
ed by the month or year, 10 the church
in which the owner WOrships, OF to the
home Of his friend OF relatives, on the
Sabbath, is not in violation of the
statute. So in reference to the use of
street railroads in towns and cities on
the Sabbath day. Those who have
not the means of providing their own
horses or carriages travel upon street
cars to their place of worship, or to
visit their friends aud acquaintances;
and such is the apparent necessity in
all such eases, that no inquiry will be
directed as to the business or desti-
nation Of the traveller; nor will the
person desiring 10 hire the horse
from the livery stable be compelled
10 disclose the purpose in view in or
der to protect the keeper from the
penalty of the law. Such employments
are necessary, and not within the in
hibitiOn Of the statute. The COM
mon sense, as well as the moral senti-
ment of the country, will suggest that
the merchant who sells his goods, or
the farmer who follows his pillow, or
the carpenter who labOrs upon the
building, or the saloon keeper who
sells his liquors on Sunday, are each
and all violating the law by which il
is made penal to follow the ordinary
avOcatiOns Of life on Sunday. The or
binary usages and customs of the
country teach US that to pursue such
emplOyments on the Sabbath is
wrong. Every man can realize the
distinction between pursuing such
avocations and that Of Transporting
